FML... Send me the scrambles at some point if you have them?

Yay for this comp. Thanks Billy and James. Your efforts really showed during the weekend.
I'm not sure what I was doing. 95% of my solves were awful and 5% were awesome.
Some highlights:
+2 on 5 of my first 8 3x3 solves
Got 10-20 seconds worse at 5x5 in 6 weeks, but I can get a PB single anyway after a load of that stuff.
7x7 NR and I don't know how
1:48 in feet whilst being completely unable to turn anything, and then 1:08 without trying.
Explosion on first turn of 4x4, but also a 37 single.
2 good 6x6s then a big pop on the third
1:15 sq-1 single: Pop on parity. Fix and completely resolve until pop on parity. Fix and completely resolve.
Was first one to solve that 2x2 scramble. Sucks. Also I chose the wrong layer, which gave a U2 AUF instead of no AUF. Needed to be 0.08 quicker to get top of Sum of European single ranks.
I had fun

My first DYKs:
Big blind is spirit crushing and stressful, and Marcell told me off for failing?
But WR podium for 5BLD?
I now hold all UK NRs? (Sorry Dan!)
But still no WRs?
Xianjia is awesome for letting me borrow (and keep???) some Auroras for Multi BLD? And that UKCubestore is the best in general?
Dan got a sub-50 5x5x5 solve?
CHJ is getting faster and accurate at everything BLD, which makes me think using all audio isn't actually that bad?
Matt got an all-time PB in 5BLD?
Ben doesn't react to anything?
Having a bar literally seconds from the solving station makes life that extra bit sweeter?
Adam gave me a lucky 5x5x5 florian modded cube?
I got 3x PLL skips by doing x U R' U' L' U R U' r'?
ALau got ER and doesn't even practice?
James is my favorite judge?
And Billy organised an amazing comp?

DYK: Competing after vacationing and not solving a single puzzle for a week is a terrible idea?
The schedule originally called for Ryan being in my group, although I didn't check to see if you had changed it on the day I guess. :confused: Anyway, it's pretty clear that I'll DNF my clock average the comp after setting WR since it's happened twice now, although the circumstances were different this time (see below). I'll still take that over not setting WR at all.FML... Send me the scrambles at some point if you have them?
I would have probably done safety solves too at 9am
-the above DYK
-I was going for WR single (not really, but let's pretend that was the case)
-Clock was first thing in the morning. None of my comps (Oxford included) have clock first thing in the morning, I simply can't solve intelligently at that time.

Both. The more words you have in you arsenal the better.
Also do you have any AoSus in Black left? I'm want to buy one to swap with Alex's white one for winning 3x3.

Oh yeah you are right, for the first groups I alternated people for groups so group 1 was 1st, 3rd, 5th etc. fastest official averages which put you and Ryan in the first group and myself and Daniel in the 2nd.
