Mitchell came first with a high 10/low 11 average (not totally sure). I came second with a 12.72 average and Kamaru-Deen came third with low 13. Mitchell had a 9.53 3x3 single.

 

[OMGitsSolved]

Wow somebody stole my elite!!! Does somebody have it

 

[joey]

AKA you left it somewhere.

 

[Evan Liu]

Jonathan Cookmeyer broke/got the NAR Megaminx single with a 1:02.81.

 

[EricReese]

17.82 single Orangina solve. No +2 or parity

BTW Nick, we were hoping for the 1 liter bottles. Not the mini ones lol.

Fun comp, though a bit disappointed over the whole BLD fiasco. Not that I woulda got a success anyway. I dont think anyone has any room to complain though, BLD wasn't even originally scheduled. Thanks for the comp Evan

Also, Nick, I should have warned you. Don't lend people your cubes unless you know who they are. Track them down. Otherwise people lose cubes like that

 

[RyanReese09]

There was an extra elite at our table, I remeber because I confused it with mine. I'm not sure what happened to it as I left to go compete.

Overall an amazing comp, just a bit behind with the lineup, but whatever.

I got 16.4x Orangina chug. And Eric, you +2'd, the bottle fell over when you stopped the timer. Nub.

Was great meeting you Nick, you weren't annoying! . Love it. And as always, pleasure seeing you again teller, always great.

I c ame 7th in the first round, wee . Low 13 single and 15.4 average. Finally I didn't fail in comp. 4th in Master magic with a low 5 average.

The BLD fiasco was annoying, and I wish that we would be allowed to finish up the other attempts while something like SQ1 or mega was going. So many open spots to finish up BLD..I wish they had worded the requirements to get another attempt. It was announced that at "5 minute attempt" was needed to get a second shot. Since the first scramble was lolridiculous I just DNFd it :fp

This. Basically all of the timers were open for at least 15 minutes after the fact too. I didn't understand why some of the faster BLD people couldn't just do quick solves. It was also just a tad annoying to completely eliminate the 2nd round of 3x3, but whatever.

Stuff:
Two 33-34 second reductions on 4x4, which is very good for me. Both had DP . 4 DP, 1 PP. Still at PB avg at 1:08. 11.72 single, 13.65 avg for 3x3 (2nd in first rd). Was also 1st in the first round of 2x2 w/ a 3.93 fail average. Should've been way faster. 28 oh avg, poop. Rest is w/e, but 2nd in 4 events.


BTW:
Phil Yu and I found 2 stackmats lying on our table after everybody left. They seem pretty standard, but one has a dent in the screen. He took both with him. Mr. Yu also had a low 18 second OH average.

 

[EricReese]

Oh crap, I don't remember getting my stackmat. The one without a dent is most likely mine.

Just checked, yep thats my stackmat

 

[cookieyo145]

Wow somebody stole my elite!!! Does somebody have it

told you, There was a dayan hater there. you didn't not listen.

 

[cookieyo145]

thanks for the guhong ryan. its my new main.

 

[Evan Liu]

My big successes of the day:
Master Magic - 2.61 single, 2.88 average. Single is 67th in the world and 5th in the US; Average is 48th in the world and 5th in the US.
Megaminx - 1:43.40 single, 1:52.45 average. Both are overall PBs (i.e. including at-home solves).
I also won Square-1, but there wasn't anyone good there.

Big fail - 4x4. Typical that the event I practice the most at home is the only one I failed at in comp (aside from Magic). We'll leave it at that. My successes outweigh this failure by far though.

Also, I must apologize to all the competitors on behalf of the organization team for our lousy competition running. We look to improve upon our mistakes the next time we have a competition (possibly in June).
