US Nationals and Open

WHAT's HAPPENING PEOPLE!?!?!?! WRs ??? lol.

Dan Cohen got the NAR for Megaminx (I think both), and Mike Hughey got the NAR for multi with 15/15 (I think).

 

[pcharles93]

3x3 average is in no danger as I expected.

 

[Hadley4000]

Mike Hughey got 15/15 multi, Alex Cook got 13/14, Rowe got xx/33. Last time I saw him, he was 11/16, but then a bunch of cubers went to dinner.

Overall he got 19/33... 5 points.

Would have been more impressive if they weren't somewhat expected.

I think Mike Hughey with the 15/15(#2 in the world) beating EVERYONE is very impressive! Congrats Mike! Congrats to Dan too! He's just been getting so good, haha. Tim, didn't you participate in multi also ?

Hrm, let's not talk about multi, clock, 4x4, 3x3, pyraminx, megaminx, 4x4 BLD (but that was actually successful).

I got 3/6 for multi, but the other Tim got a 2/8, so I'm not last. For clock though, I am last.

 

[masterofthebass]

Yeah, but he got 0 points (3/6).

Mainly everyone did horrible in pyraminx. Ernesto and I (along with some others) did absolutely horrible in clock.

For megaminx, I got a 1:27, 1:41, 1:44 for my solves. The 1:27 was a complete PLL skip

Everyone did bad in 4x4 (I won w/ a 1:02 average)




As for the Atlanta issue... It's very noticeable. I was judging Tim at megaminx, and this guy just comes up to the table and gets right in Tim's face. I asked him to "back up please." He then like flips out saying I disrespected him and starts arguing with me, all while Tim is solving. He walked away for a second after I tried to diffuse the situation but then came right back. At that point I stood up (being 6'4" and 240 lb doesn't hurt) and he seemed less standoffish. Most of the "spectators" are nice, but the atmosphere is noticeably affected.

About that mugging incident, I know I heard of one person who was attempted to be mugged, but it turned out the weapon of choice was an ipod. I'm not going to mention names, but the person I know of just basically completely ignored the guy.

 

[4Chan]

I thought it was a great competition!
I live 25 miles from atlanta in the suburbs so i knew what the venue would be like beforehand.

The worst part for me was falling off the solving area after a DNF bld attempt.

 

[Lotsofsloths]

I am so glad I didn't go there..xD
anyway, now I am interested to whom got mugged.
It couldn't have been Bob, or else he would threaten to kill them xDDD

 

[cuBerBruce]

Dan Cohen got WR single and average in 5x5x5. Single was 1:20.98 and I believe the average was under 1:30.

Someone said Hadley got the last part of the WR single on video. Don't know about any other videos at this point. I believe the average was 1:29.40. (This was today, Sunday.)

 

[Kian]

Wow, that's fantastic! Great job Dan! Another American held record!

 

[hdskull]

Congrats Dan! Knew you can do it!

On a side note, I never knew Atlanta was such a place.

 

[cuBerBruce]

I was told that Dan won the 5x5x5 final with the 2nd best 5x5x5 average in the world - topped only by his 2nd round average earlier today.

Edit: (Correction) The WR was actually in the "1st" Round. The Final was the 2nd round. (There was also a qualifying round Saturday.)

Yeah, he really was on fire today. He got another 1:29 in the final and he told me he was just joking around during the solve. I told him to get lost

Right now were doing team blindfolded Revolution

4x4x4 and 3x3x3 finals are up next.

 

[fanwuq]

It sucks that someone was mugged.
But for Dan Cohen and Mike Hughey!

Is the big cube BLD round done yet?

 

[Dene]

Nice one Dan, good job at beaing 6'4" and the WR's!
