I just came home from the Big Apple Cube Clash, and I'm pretty upset.
When I competed in 3x3, I got a 16 second average, which was good for 60th place in the first round. Or so I thought. The top 60 competitors advanced to the second round, so I was stoked. I had just made it in. Or so I thought. The second round rolled around, and they didn't call my name, so I went to find out what was up. They told me that Andrew Ricci had come in very late and gotten second place, bumping me down to 61st. First of all, if he was so late that they had already finished entering the 3x3 times into Cubecomps before he competed, why did they still allow him to do so? My dad wasn't happy either, because we had spent two extra hours there for no reason (He's the kind of person who leaves when all my rounds are over).
I'm not done.
So I get home and I check Cubecomps. I see myself in 61st place, like they said. But then I noticed that only 57 people competed in 3x3 round 2. That implies that three people (Zachary Ashany, John Hu, and Hans Hu) likely left the competition. If so, doesn't that mean that 61st, 62nd, and 63rd place should have competed in their place? Considering what happened, it would only be fair.
