I'm sorry but I don't understand the concept of a "weekly race"

So basically, any cuber, who wants to be in a race to sub-20 can be in it. Every Thursday, I will post 12 scrambles from CubeExplorer. Then I will rank the competitors on Monday and make a list (by fastest to slowest), if one person hits sub-20, they will be moved to the sub-15 thread.

I got that, but I'm afraid I don't see the point. It just sounds kind of like the monthly comp, only divided into groups. "Race to sub20" isn't something you can do every week. It happens once.

LOL I thought this was a one-time thing for people stuck at 21-25, not a weekly competition. I'm going to stick with Cola and Gears for the first one, but I'm not doing any more than the one(s) that get me sub-20.

We keep track of all the times that the cubers had from the beginning, and we track their progress. When a cuber hits sub-20, they can be transferred to the sub-15 race. Any cuber, at any time can join the race, if they tell me or iSpinz.
This is a one time race. The reason it's weekly, is to have a weekly check on the cuber's progress.

You mean when they hit sub-20 in this competition, which is a worthless statistic.

But why do you need to post scrambles? Why does this need to be in the competition subforum? Why isn't there just a thread where you keep track of people's PB averages, and move them once they are sub-20? I would imagine someone's first sub-20 average ever is going to mean a lot more than just getting a sub-20 average in some random competition, because that could be their 4th or 5th ever sub-20 average.
