WC2009 live streaming?

[Derrick Eide17]

Hey guys. Here is what I remember right now.

Tim won multi BLD with 12/14 in 52:xx. Dennis had 11/12 in 58:xx. I finished 9th with 9/14 in 52.

5x5 BLD was won by Rafal with a time of 15:xx. Chris finished second with 24:xx. Ryosuke Mondo finished 3rd I think.

4x4 BLD was won by some random german guy with a time of 7:02.66. Yumu finished second with 8:xx.

Pyraminx was won by Yohei Oka with a sub-5 avg.

Thanks for the results Kai!

Still really curious though, how did Mondo do at MultiBLD, and how many cubes?

 

[KJiptner]

I think Mondo had 6/8. He finished 8th. It were minor DNFs.

 

[Chuck]

Thanks, Kai.
I just got off with phone from Maria Oey, telling me Tim's results.
Unfortunately she didn't remember any other results.

Congrats to Tim and Dennis.
Honestly, I never expected my record will ever going to stand this long.
I can't wait for Tim to tell us why he can't keep his 3 minutes per cube.

And Mondo's story too, of course. (8 cubes?)

Yeah a bit confused myself, I thought mondo would try a lot more.
Congrats to Tim though, that's amazing

Hey guys. Here is what I remember right now.

Tim won multi BLD with 12/14 in 52:xx. Dennis had 11/12 in 58:xx. I finished 9th with 9/14 in 52.

Nice try!

5x5 BLD was won by Rafal with a time of 15:xx. Chris finished second with 24:xx. Ryosuke Mondo finished 3rd I think.

Okay, so I badly missed the winning time, but you have to admit it was a decent prediction on my part. From this post in the weekly competition:

My prediction for worlds: new 5x5x5 BLD world record will be 12:10 – Rafal will be angry about having DNFed both 4x4x4s, and so he will take it nice and slow and get it right. Chris and Mondo will also both beat Chris’s former world record, but won’t be fast enough to beat Rafal's "safety solve".

Today is my day. I really should have been there.

4x4 BLD was won by some random german guy with a time of 7:02.66. Yumu finished second with 8:xx.

That random German guy sure is pretty amazing - nice job! Yumu is getting too good!

And Kai, thanks VERY much for the info!

 

[Chuck]

"Random german guy", LOL
He's from your own country, Kai.
Why don't you know him?

Really nice BLD results. Though I thought the competition will be much closer.

Today is my day. I really should have been there.

Why did you skip, Mike?

 

[Toad]

Where is the live stream??

And where are people getting these results from? :confused:

 

[4Chan]

Where is the live stream??

And where are people getting these results from? :confused:

I think they're actually there.

 

[Toad]

Haha fair enough... Nobody has a live stream then?

 

[hr.mohr]

Haha fair enough... Nobody has a live stream then?

Ton wrote something about only having a single UMTS connection available at the venue. That's really not good enough to do live streaming

But I hope for some more text updates tomorrow.

Ok fair enough

 

[Mike Hughey]

Hey, just the text updates are great - please everyone, keep them coming!

And Karthik, I just couldn't afford the trip. I wouldn't have done it without bringing my family, and that was just too expensive for us this year.

 

[amostay2004]

Any results for the other events?

 

[Mike Hughey]

Any results for the other events?

Pyraminx and the big BLD events were the only finals today, other than Rubik's 360, and we've seen all of those results here already. The rest were just qualifiers, and the 2x2x2 first round. So 2x2x2 is probably the main other thing where we might hear about something interesting. Any interesting records in 2x2x2 today?

 

[Neutrals01]

I wonder how is Rubik's 360 results..

to all participants, all the best for the coming days competitions..

 

[Faz]

So far from what I have heard it is:

4BLD: Random German guy 7:02
5BLD: Rafal 15:xx
Multi: Tim Haabernaas 12/14
Pyra: Yohei Oka Sub 5 average

Those were the only finals on Friday evening.

Not sure about 2x2 first round yet.

 

[Faz]

Well, WC starts in 3 hours, they might sort out something, I really hope so. At least I have my backup plan.

Feliks, could you maybe just update us here with anything useful you find out as the competition progresses? I'm sure we'd all appreciate any info you could give us!

With all those cubers in one place, it's probably going to be pretty dead around here for the rest of us who couldn't go.

Definitely. I will have contact with quite a few people at worlds.

 

[miniGOINGS]

[18:03] <rowehessler> sometimes i go too fast and i cant see
Average of 50: 10.07 I broke mah wrist.

You might want to put that space on the other side of the [/U] tag.

 

[Muesli]

You hear anything about the Rubik's 360 results?
