UK Championship 2015

I'll likely film it- if I don't decide that I'd rather be somewhere else, eating lunch at that time.

Why not both?

 

[Berd]

No Bertie. Too late.

I've printed all the scoresheets now so you'll have to compete.

Oh no, guess I'll have to stay with you.

 

[Tyler Comfy Hat]

Why not both?

I'll likely film it- if I don't decide that I'd rather be somewhere else, eating lunch at that time.

Hooooow can I be in two places at once?

Although in all seriousness, I will likely still be in the venue during lunch, so I should be able to film it. And if I'm not, I'll probably ask someone else to look after my camera while it's sitting on a tripod, recording the q&a.

Alright, thanks!

Both days.

Also yes Ryan. Meet up. I think lots of people are staying at the Ibis so likely there.

Suits me well, I'm also staying there ^^
Super hyped to see everybody again!

 

[Logiqx]

Will anyone film the Q&A session?

As well as the offer from Tyler, I should be around with a decent video camera and tripod.

Goals

• I swear down, if I don't get a gosh darned sub-40 3x3 average this time, I'm gonna snap, I've been averaging sub 40 at home for months now, and it's been a failed comp goal twice now.
• Somewhat optimistic 3x3 goal: Sub-32 single, sub-36 average, and no solves slower than 41.
• Don't care about 2x2 and Pyra, pbs maybe? meh.
• Lift myself from "worst in the UK" status in terms of Skewb average.
• Don't get two DNFs in a row at Clock by messing up the flip-side by accident, like I did last comp
• Get at least one 4x4 solve below the hard cut. Come ooonnn now.
• Don't forget to bring hat
• Don't be as much of a nub as I was during WGC
• Don't be as bankrupt as I was after TGN (oops already failed this one)
• Don't be as tired as I was during ABHC
• Don't be as upset if I completely mess up at 3x3, like I was at Cuthberts
• Don't make too many optimistic goals that simply will not be (crap, already failed this one too)

Jeez, this post just reeks of inevitable disappointment

All those don'ts... be more positive!

Reduce my average amount of +2s in a comp.

 

[DJ4Y]

My goals. First comp. Will probably fail really badly.


2x2: A 5 avg would be nice

3x3: A sub 15 average, hopefully a low-mid 13. I doubt this because of how nervous I get.

Skewb: sub 15

Pyra: sub 20

3x3OH: A 35 average, maybe faster.

To not be awkward and actually have some chats with people.

To have a great, enjoyable time.

To not get lost.


That's it.

Goals: wake up in time for my train

Goals: wake up in time for my train

This is a goal for me too. My train leaves at 6 in the morning.

Oooh boy, another comp where I'm tired all throughout. ZzzZZz.

Seriously though, as negative as I've been about the prospect of this comp, I'm still very hype right now.

I'm lucky that some family members are kind enough to drive me there on both days. I would be ruined if I had to by train. On the Sunday I would have had to wake up at 5 in the morning to make my train.

Buuuut I bet you don't care

 

[Goosly]

Goals = do everything I didn't do at TGN:

- Drive in the UK, preferably on the right side of the road for most of the time (the right side being the left one)
- Get more than 0 points in multiblind
- Meet Oliver and Daniel, who have inspired me in bigBLD
- Drink tea

Missing another UKC sucks. Have fun everyone, and make the cubecomps page worth watching.

 

[~Adam~]

I've done that thing again where I've had to remember to bring so much stuff that I can't remember if I've brought my cubes.

They are probably in my boot like last time though.

I never thought you'd make the same mistake twice!

 

[Ollie]

Goals:

Bring everything I need to bring.
Don't get too stressed.
PBs in 2x2x2, 4x4x4 and 5x5x5 averages.
5BLD NR (or at least a success).

Please:

Judge other groups when you are not competing - there are 100 competitors more than usual, it's going to be stressful for all of us if we can't keep to the schedule.
If we ask you to help us with something, we are not picking on you - we just need help. we can't always keep track of how often you've judged already. If you feel like there are people who aren't contributing, let us know.

Apart from that, I'm very very excited to see a large UK comp! Can't wait to catch up with old friends and make some new ones
