Not lol, because with a 1.22 magic single i'd have made the sum of single ranks list
But lol that I borrowed Thom's MM after he'd competed to beat him. Thanks Kir

Way lol
Both your Master Magic averages are faster than your Magic averages

Congrats on making the sumrank list.

Congrats on making the sumrank list.

I didn't make the list. What I meant was that (in hindsight) I needed a 1.22

 

[Cubenovice]

oops... must read more carefull...

Better luck next time

Yay results

Edit: A bunch of my results are wrong.

5x5: 4th solve should be 2:31.34
2x2 round 1: 4th solve should be 3.90
2x2 semi final: 2nd solve should be 2.65

Maybe other stuff

Speedpicker - you HAVE to delete your post. I'm running a quad core with 4gb ram and you almost killed my PC.

Just hyperlink - you should only ever post 4-5 vids in one post really to stop things like this happening.

Any mods can delete my post if the above gets edited first.

Day 2 to follow

Oh god please no.

 

[masterofthebass]

please do'nt post 50 embeds in a post... its really not good on people's computers. You can just link to your youtube channel or just put links to the videos.

 

[blakedacuber]

wow :O did you just video all day?

 

[speedpicker]

Sorry everyone, seemed fine on my machine, apologies if it caused you problems. For lots of footage of the UK Open 2011, please visit my channel at: http://www.youtube.com/user/TheSpeedpicker

 

[speedpicker]

Day 2 is uploading to the channel now, so all the vids have nondescript names, I will be labelling them properly tomorrow. All the Day 1 videos are properly labelled, except a few where I refer to the "mystery cuber". If you can identify the cubers in these vids I would appreciate it so I can edit the titles. Sorry again for the noob posting error.

 

[Mollerz]

You have a video of me solving 4x4 in 1:31. Watching it back, I turn SO slowly and my lookahead is poor as well. Oh well! :b

[Selkie]

No trouble at all, thanks for doing this.

Also the one with half bright stickers is probably going to become my main after a little tightening, I keep overshotting M slices but it's really nice otherwise.

I've sent you a pm, replacements all ordered from Witeden which usually takes 7-10 days to me.

Sorry again, not sure where I originally ordered but believe it was Lightake them but never opened the bags.

Yeah the half bright one was going to be my main and was for a week or so earlier this year till I realised I actaully don't like half brights

 

[Toad]

DYK:

I turned up, won an event, then left?

It was really great to see everyone, I love you all!

 

[Godmil]

Thanks Brest

 

[Escher]

(@Brest) It's like 11.50 avg or something

And jesus, that is really embarrassing. No solve <64 htm and one with 80...

At least I know what I have to work on :'(

Oops, fixed that. I think I took the times from one of the previous rounds, instead of, you know, using math...

I like your solves, even though they were (for you!) sub-par. 6+tps over 5 solves, in the final round, that is really good.

 

[MichaelErskine]

I judged in team BLD, magic, master magic and 2 or 3 other events iirc. I didn't do any scrambling though. I would have, but the scrambling table was always full when I looked.

We all judged in Magic -- hell, I even scrambled

After quite a long break from cubing I had a nice weekend, but mostly because I got to saw some awesome friends and made some new ones
Seeing Arnaud for the first time in almost two years was pretty much the best thing ever, I squeezed him half to death. (Might have also stopped Mikey's breathing temporarily).
Enjoyed there being maybe four girl cubers this time, we are a minority but I like to thing we have quality over quantity - also how cute was the little girl doing the mystery event... she should have competed!
Some people remain lazy and do zero scrambling and judging, but still compete in all the events. That really upsets me. You go to a competition to be part of a community and give each other the opportunity to take part, if you don't muck in, it's really not in the spirit of things.
Some others are real troopers - Luke's mum was an absolute legend, for example.
James and Helen's kids are absolute mega cuties and very well behaved
Chrisi and Dave continue to be brilliant, not only do they do an awesome job but they are lovely too! (Thank you for the speaker, it's excellent!)
Same goes for Daniel, everything ran perfectly, and he even lost his voice for the cause!
I have now officially lost all of my NRs... mainly to that pesky chap D-Sheppz... it will make you all laugh to know that I used to have magic single with 1.53!
I am grateful for all the free glasses from McDonald's people left at mine and beer. There was lots of beer. Emphasis on was.
I am pleased with my square-1 results in the first round - sub 25 average and sub 17 single.
Millie - you are officially the most polite cuber ever, absolutely love you!

Pleased to report there is no lost and found at mine...

Also, if anyone by chance got my square-1 16s on camera, I would love it. Mainly because I beat Joey in that round and that's my hobby
