Thanks to Chandler Scheurkogel/TheCubicle.com for the close-up footage!
Finally got a nice sub-7 official single, and also finally got my first ever worthwhile PLL skip in competition... Surprisingly enough, this was the fastest single solve of the whole competition, which was cool, and it was in the finals, too. Reconstruction is below:

6.25 3x3 Reconstruction:
Scramble: D R F' R B D F2 R2 F' D L D2 B2 U2 D2 R2 B2 L U2 L

Inspection: x2
Cross: M' U x' R' B' R'
F2L1: U' R U2 R' U L U L'
F2L2: y' U' R U' R' U2 R U' R'
F2L3: U y R' U' R U2 R' U' R U R' U' R
F2L4: d' L' U L U' L' U L
OLL: U R' F R U R' U' F' U R

52 moves | 8.32 tps

Quite the inefficient solve, with slow OLL recognition and permutation, but it worked out.
