Vancouver Open '10

Yes, thanks to all the volunteers and organization team, and congrats to all the winners. Kevin is extremely impressive on big cubes, and his second round 3x3 was quite good. I really thought he was going to win the event, but the finals were super close. I hope all our US friends made it back home safe and sound. Thanks for coming up to play.

The results book is a bit of a mess, so i need to work on it before submitting it or Tim will have my head. So be patient.

More DYKs...

-Toquinha1977 freaked out slightly at Jameson's attempt to bring his luggage on stage.
-Toquinha1977 would probably be more effective at competition organization if he could clone himself.
-Toquinha1977 apparently is the man of a thousand faces.
-Despite a slight spreadsheet calculation error which meant the top fastest averages in 3x3x3 Final were a lot higher than they should've been, the placement order was the exact same.
-4te has difficulty telling the difference between a roll of paper towel and a package of CR2024 batteries.
-Youngest competitor Jillian Tin (age 5) was competing with a miniature Magic.

Hahaha, Jillian didn't use my mini magic. My other sis Jashmin :P And yeah she did do really good. I'm pretty sure that 9 is her PB (:

DYK pt 3...

-Toquinha1977 really hopes that 3x3x3 record will be broken again by someone with an easier to pronounce surname ("ACK-er-sick"? "ACK-ers-deek"? "ACK-ers-dyke"?) if he has to speak on the matter in public and on live public television ever again.
-First-time competitor David Ng used an oversized novelty cube for his official solve. How big was it? Approximately the size of 8 standard 3x3x3s.
-The first round of 3x3x3 results had to be revised twice. (hangs head in shame)
-Forte stopped the timer during a DNF 5x5x5 attempt, but yelled out words to the effect of "WORLD RECORD" anyway. Just kidding!

also:
- David thought he had a pll skip on his 4x4 first solve but he actually had adjacent parity on the other side of the cube.
- Forte did get a 1:16 5x5 solve, but it was barely a DNF.
- Forte loves Lady Gaga and Disney.
- Pocahontas-Pocahontas is the best Square-1 case ever.
- D-batteries do not fit into stackmats.
- If love isn't rough, it isn't fun.
- Kevin got a sub-12 average in the second round but choked in the finals.
- The words "world record" were probably said more than they were at the Czech Open 2008, although no world records were set.
 
noooo my NR.... :mad:

lol w/e congrats Forte, you deserved it. I just hope I won't get another one of those sub-xy fails next time.

Thanks, I just did bad in all the final rounds with counting +2's in 2x2 and 3x3.

Just uploaded my good solves here.

And Ibrahim whats your email address again? I deleted the single video you posted it on to put up the average.
