UK Open 2010

[MTGjumper]

Something interesting: Breandan didn't win head to head.

I'll leave it at that

 

[scotzbhoy]

Thom, do you want me to send you the vid of your 10.34 solve? If so, can you pm me your email address please?

 

[Toad]

I've got every single solve from the finals and a ridiculous amount of other stuff, please subscribe to motivate me to upload it all in the next few days... All in HD too

i thought several cubers had my 6.88 clock solve? wanna see it myself

edit: ninja'd

 

[amostay2004]

I have your 6.88, but I believe Toad's version is the best, so I'll let him do it

Hmm so yea I failed at pretty much everything. Best 3x3 single in the competition was 11.53 >_>
Notable achievements were 58.6 avg 4x4 in first round and 52 single in finals with OLL parity dammmnnn
Also 1:42 5x5 single and 1:55 average again..beating my previous official average by 0.61

Finally my flat is empty ish and I am in bed almost alone.

Had an amazingly good weekend despite about 4 hours sleep in total. Thank you so much to everybody that came and an extra thank you to those who worked hard scrambling and judging, couldn't do it without you.

I will post more things tomorrow but for now, at least 15 hours of sleep.

You all! (n.b. This is a sober statement, I meant it!)

 

[MichaelErskine]

Thanks everyone, great fun. And please let me know, if you find my cube ...

Dude, was it a blue A5 or somesuch? If so, Charlie has it.

 

[Cube-Fu]

Dude, was it a blue A5 or somesuch? If so, Charlie has it.

It was an AV, Ooh! I thought it was gone!

- Life during UKO is awesome!

- Rob got the first sub-10 of the final, and then next solve was Rowan...
- 'Simon - ex WR holder, Rob - ex-ER holder, Rowan - yeah he's quite good at cubes'
- 3rd clock scramble of group 2. I want to switch groups now.
- 2nd 2x2 scramble of some group in the first round I got 2.22 on 2x2x2
- I got 19 competition PBs out of 23 possible ones
- I failed at bld
- I failed at 2 clock scrambles
- I thought Axel was crazy, but then I met Louis...
- Filippo likes Nightwish
- Joey spreads marmite like it's jam
- People filming stuff made me miss lunch
- I'm so happy for Toad's clock single NR (even though it means I lost a NR)
- I wish Simon could get a half decent Sq-1 average
- Funniest moment might just be looking across to see Joey pop on the first turn
- James is my hero for fixing my magic and master magic
- He got 2.59 avg
- I popped on the last turn of Sq-1 at 27 seconds Really wanted that sub-30 single
- Beast pizzas are quite beast
- That was the only picture I took during the weekend, and I predicted it
- K-Dog should compete
- Can't wait to go to another UK comp

EDIT: Lost my blindfold somewhere. It looks the same as the competition ones, but it's a bit more battered and has some really faint blue ink on the lining at the top on the back

Can you send me the originals of the ones of me and K-dogg please Charliee?

 

[kinch2002]

I have found a blue-yellow edge piece from an A-V (I'm pretty sure it is anyway) in my bag, so let me know if you're missing one!

Beast Pizza:

Rowan popped and lost an edge piece from his A-V on the first night, and your bag was near him, so I bet it's his!
I also have some pics of the pizza but too lazy to upload now =P
