Toronto Open Winter '09

That was great! I did terrible in the first round of 3x3, (29.xx average) and in the second round I did awesome :D Every solve was sub 25 and I had a sub 20 :D

I had a lot of fun meeting you guys :)
 
Yalow, admit it, that sub-25 round two was ALL my Edison. ^^

That thing was amazing! Thanks for lending it to me for speed and BLD!
don't forget you made the second round because Dave thought I wouldn't have come back to compete :p you're welcome :D

Sarah Strong: new fastest female?

Why does Harris Chan suck so much? His average got worse EVERY... SINGLE... ROUND!

Come on, I expect more.

*edit* I have just been told that Harris Chan has been performing terrible averages in his last 8 competition averages.

At least if you're going to be that slow, you're consistent.

I didn't even think I was going to even come close to making it into the second round when I was preparing for the competition. But I guess I was wrong.

Who were you?!?!?!?
TELL ME TELL ME TELL ME...
xD

Yalow, you're very welcome.
Sarah, LOL he was MUCH less nervous 2nd round because he didn't think he was going to make it.
sub-20 ftw.

Yeah, thanks for that :p I was so annoyed when I was 26 on the list, it was really awesome to hear "If your name is Justin Jaffray come to the scrambler's table or you're going to miss out" :D

Something like that happened to be at the TOW last year. I placed 27th in the first round, but there was a mistake and I so was actually 26th, and then Mondo decided to drop out of 3x3x3 to try another multi bld attempt...so I luckily made the second round. :p

XD I was really nervous in the first and second round so I messed up a lot (1 DNF each round, and a bunch of horrible solves), but in the finals I was a lot more calm for some reason and I did really well and my times were really consistent. I don't understand why.

Yah, it was pretty horrible. The first round 3x3 average is just so bad:

9.14 = PLL skipped, but I did the wrong AUF, so +2
13.13 = Did E perm on the wrong angle, so I had to do H perm again.

And I still beated my PB from before haha. In the second round, I also had a +2 from the H perm.

anyway, congrats to everyone! It was an awesome competition as always, and this time the room was packed with new comers!
 
You would probably have already done sub-11 average if you could attend more competitions each year. You only attended 5 competitions in 2008, and it's March 7 and this was the first one for 2009.

You should come down to the New York/New Jersey area more. I live about an hour away from Bob by public transportation and he pretty much goes to everything so you're more than welcome to stay here so you can attend more competitions.

Bob probably gets like... 15-20 competitions a year. For you, that could mean around 60 attempts at averages, instead of the 14 you had in 2008.

lol Slow down Harris, just a little bit.
 
great competition

I'd like to personally thank all those who helped run the competition. This was the first time we went to one and didn't know what to expect. Everyone was friendly and my son had the time of his life! Now I got to go to all of them :)

My apologies to the judges, and thanks for the patience in 4x4 and 5x5 for my son....just proud he finished them!

BTW: I'm the 'happy' dad that brought his 6 year old Chrisitan to compete, Christian finished the 2x2,3x3 (65 sec. best), 4x4 and 5x5 that day....

Thanks again to all who organized and see you next time....
