The Glorious North 2015 (1-2 August, Manchester, England)

[TheOneOnTheLeft]

See you there then.


Please can I be removed from 4BLD? I've not practised it and don't want to waste time not getting a success. Thanks.

Done.

I didn't even know there was a Premier Inn, since it's not listed on UKCA... I haven't actually booked yet, so I might book there instead.

You did say Travelodge earlier in the thread though.

E: Travelodge looks £50 cheaper...

I said probably

[Myachii]

Okay I'd say it's close enough to the competition to post my predictions. I've really been practicing 3x3 for a while now, and I've now learnt full OLL and am really ironing out my look-ahead, and have managed to get 6 sub-10s in the past two days

2x2 - Sub-5/Sub-6 - Not practiced much so idc
3x3 - Sub-12/Sub-14 - Quite optimistic but I can dream, hopefully make finals and not come last
4x4 - Sub-50/Sub-55 - Hopefully make finals
5x5 - Sub-1:45/Sub-1:50 - One of my best events, so I'm hoping for final.
6x6 - Sub-3:40/Sub-3:50 - Not practiced much at all so probably won't get them
7x7 - Sub-6:00/ N/A - I'm not good enough to have a mean
Megaminx - Sub-3:00/ N/A - See above
Pyraminx - Sub-8/Sub-10 - Hopeful and unlikely
Clock - Sub-12/Sub-15
Skewb - Sub-10/Sub-15
3BLD - Sub-3:00/Sub-4:00 - Hoping to continue my 100% success streak.
3OH - Sub-35/Sub-40 - Now I know full OLL hopefully my times should get better.
With Feet - Sub-1:20/Sub-1:30 - Maybe podium? Depends if the others have been practicing xD Hoping for top 5 at least though.
MultiBLD - 3/3 in ~25:00

So yeah Hope everyone else gets the solves that they want

 

[~Adam~]

Goals I guess.

3x3 - sub 15 average
4x4 - sub 50 single would be nice
5x5 - sub 1:50 average
3BLD - sub 2 single/sub Bertie Mo3
MBLD - 9/9 but I'd be happy with 8/9

 

[TheOneOnTheLeft]

Goals:

Be a good organiser.
3x3: sub-14 avg
5x5: unfairly beat Adam. Again.
3BLD: Hopefully win, but more realistically, don't DNF the first round and go out straight away. Oh and maybe get a sub-2 mean.

 

[Berd]

Goals I guess.

3x3 - sub 15 average
4x4 - sub 50 single would be nice
5x5 - sub 1:50 average
3BLD - sub 2 single/sub Bertie Mo3
MBLD - 9/9 but I'd be happy with 8/9

You should easily be able to beat my MO3 and single. I haven't competed since like March.

 

[LucidCuber]

7x7 - Sub-6:00/ N/A - I'm not good enough to have a mean

Sub 6:00 would get you a mean though.

 

[Myachii]

Sub 6:00 would get you a mean though.

Oh yeah, I was looking at the 5:00 average cut for 6x6 thinking it was 7x7.

 

[JediJupiter]

Goals
3x3: sub 14/sub 15.5
4x4: sub 1/sub 1:20
2x2: sub 5 average?
OH: sub 25/sub 30
Bld: success?
Sq1: sub 30/sub 40

PBs in everything please

Edit: oh yeah, also don't get lost or get a wrong train or something

 

[scottishcuber]

3x3 sub8/sub9.61
4x4 dont care/sub36
5x5 dont care/ sub1:15
6x6 annoy rob
7x7 really annoy rob

 

[LucidCuber]

Additional Goal

4x4: Sub-21 Single/Sub-23 average. With my superior solving method no one else stands a chance, sorry.
