Hit lots of targets but 3BLD was a disaster. Double my normal solving time to mess up the cube and ended up quitting 2nd solve due to malfunctioning brain.
However I did get to stay over and socialise. Excellent competition overall and 3x3 final still to come.

Amazing competition -- best one I've been to, I think. Really well organised, great having so many competitors with such a wide range of ages, and nice having the extra little touches like the Q&A session and the Han Solo mosaic.

Yeah sorry, I went home halfway through today after all my events were done. It seems you didn't find me. Understandable, since I didn't wear my hat much at all today. And I didn't check the forums last night so I didn't know you were looking for me. If you were here yesterday, you definitely would've spotted me.
Sorry man. Although most of my decent stuff were sold yesterday, so you weren't missing out on much.

Proud to be part of the biggest UK competition. It was a great competition! Kudos to Daniel, James, and the team!
I failed most of the events for this competition, particularly the blindfolded events. But still, many thanks to Connor for helped judging my 4BLD solves.
The only events I've done well were Pyraminx and Megaminx.
On a side note, throughout the competition I got 2 solves with same last 3 digits, eg. 17.111 seconds. And I was told that anyone who gets a solve with 3 last digits the same can get a chocolate, I wonder if anyone has got the solve and actually redeemed for the chocolate?
I noticed that no participating certificate is given to the competitors this time. Is it just this competition or it has been like this for all UK competitions? I'm just wondering, since I've got 1 before from UK Open 2011 (It's long ago, I know)

Just awesome. Ran so smoothly and my voice is horse from death metal singing at 3am instead of asking for judges.
Great job all round.
Maybe some DYKs tomorrow but I missed the 1st 3 days of BO3 so probably not =P

It was fun meeting some new people today and setting a few PBs. Happy with my sub-9 average on Pyra and a couple of decent OH singles. I must stop mucking up my 3x3 averages in competition, lol.
Congratulations to the organisers for hosting such a great event and everyone who took part. I'll see what I have in the way of video footage over the next few days.
Keep an eye on https://toytesters.tv/ for whatever footage they recorded!

-filming equipment are so heavy my shoulder hurts
-mosaic is mint

-toytesters so hipster
-how did we manage to get ahead of schedule for such big comp?
-remembrance memorial is awesome, respect
-runners don't run, but if we call them walkers they will sound like crisp more than a job title
-new nemesis, Kinch2002
-I don't know what I did in 5BLD, rip my WCA, it is the second time I don't get a success
-4bld still alive though.
-Q&A has some very good question.
-I want to quote Rob Yau but I forgot the exact words.
-Was absolutely knackered, 4 hours sleep on friday night, 4 hours sleep on saturday night.
-registration queue is long
-wristband
-more timers, more stations but not more tubs, bowls instead
-Mark did 3 attempts of 20mins+ 4bld attempt and got it in the end, so inspiring.
-Mr Frost hates feet
-Was very glad to see ALau still with his GH, because I'm still using dayan too from 3 years ago.

Thanks to the organisers and all the crew! How can you do it all for £10. Lunch, T-Shirt, free wifi and a comfy chair. Quite an odd feeling of being too old, and too tall.
I managed my goal of a sub 30 single and not messing up too badly, strangely consistent for me and only 1 second slower than an ao50 I did yesterday.
Failed badly at 3x3BLD. Does anyone know where I can get the 1st scramble for 3x3 BLD?

Amazing comp, and good job I sold Ciaren my MeiYing 
P.s. 2nd round 3x3 my time was entered as 1:11.69 not 11.69, not that it matters anyway....
