UK Open 2010

Practice then

Wooah! I dont want an average that badly. I value my sleep

 

[MichaelErskine]

Just want to say sorry to who ever judges me OH, my times will be fail :\

Sames, I struggle to average sub-1 and my 2H is ~ 24 secs... fail. The cut off I think is a minute though and I really want an average.

I wouldn't worry about it - we all started somewhere - some people stay there

(...I'm talking about myself BTW )

 

[amostay2004]

Guys,

Sorry to worry late about that... Did you book any hostel ?

Most of them are staying at the YHA nearby, but it's fully booked now. Have you found a place?

No !
I just thought I should find one...

 

[MichaelErskine]

Does anyone* have a master magic for sale? The one I'm using is one of those mini ones from lightake and it's coming apart a bit too much to use at speed.

*anyone who is attending UK Open that is!

Don't learn new algs now, you'll forget them under pressure of a comp. Just practice with what you've got.

Maybe you can travel/room with James (Dean Ludlow) if he still has space, he also isn't far from London... Also I think Lars may need somebody to share his hotel room still.

Fear not, I fail too. Actually, I once said to my judge at a competition "This is going to be really slow by the way, I normally average 1:30". I had somehow blagged an average due to a 59 second solve (limit was 1 minute) and then had to torture the judges with four more long solves. I then got an LL skip and a 32 second solve SUCH A FLUKE. I am the queen of lucky competition solves for events I don't really want them in. 4x4x4 and 5x5x5 I have also had LL skips for on multiple occasions!

Don't learn new algs now, you'll forget them under pressure of a comp. Just practice with what you've got.

I think there is probably enough time to learn a couple more! Two weeks, you can do a lot in that time!

It would be great if you could tell me if you are no longer coming to the competition to help the organisers out. Do this via e-mail - [email protected]

Meh, a jedi desires not these things. I think I can beat my previous Master Magic competition time (7.00 single, 7.93 average) - I'm promising nothing for most other events! Well, maybe clock, and pyraminx if I put my mind to it. I'm slower at 2x2, 3x3, 4x4, 5x5 than I was at the last comp - can't figure why - skill has abandoned me and moved on to someone younger and more attractive

I keep thinking it's only one week ~__~

EDIT @ Michael:
Younger - Possible.
More attractive - Impossible.

Im only going to learn the G perms with the headlights opposite and a couple short ortega algs. Easy...if I get on with it.

u forgot this again

Try to call 0845 371 9726 to ask YHA if they still have space on those days. Agassi booked successfully by phone after the online booking had said there was no space left

 

[amostay2004]

To people staying at Charlie's: does anyone have an extra sleeping bag/mat/etc that I can borrow for 2 nights? I don't have one..and would like to avoid bringing my duvet there

I have a sleeping bag that I can lend you.

Awesome! Will you be meeting us Friday evening? Cos I need it that night

Sure thing, I might not personally see you Friday evening but it'll be waiting for you at Charlie's if not

 

[James Ludlow]

Ha ha - full PLL! Ask Toad about me and full PLL.

Maybe you can travel/room with James (Dean Ludlow) if he still has space, he also isn't far from London... Also I think Lars may need somebody to share his hotel room still.

Yep, I still have room in the car, and one space in my room.

Fear not, I fail too.

Charlie, you judged me on my very first one hand solve at the UK Open last year. 2.01.93. I came last in that competition - 1.41.89.

 

[Toad]

Ha ha - full PLL! Ask Toad about me and full PLL.

>_____<

 

[MichaelErskine]

Full PLL maketh not speediness. I've known full PLL for a good while but it hasn't really helped my times due to the additional time for recognition and execution. I wouldn't go back though - I love the full PLL. Kill your times - it's worth it!
