Racing to sub-20

For some reason I never really cared to read this thread. I read it now. It's gives me motivation to practice. I guess you could say I just joined the party.

Avg: 25.52

26.89, 23.12, 27.43, 25.62, (21.02), 24.71, 22.10, 28.30, 24.66, 26.84, (30.42)

That last solve I screwed up the cross real bad. This average was all over the place.

EDIT:
Well I feel stupid. I just figured out this thread was for OH. This avg was 2 hand. Count me out, I'm leaving this now haha.

Round 129

Average: 18.77

19.77 18.30 17.59 20.02 17.77 18.63 18.81 (20.65) 19.21 17.71 (16.50) 19.86

Sweet another sub 19 getting better!

Round 129
20.97
19.59 13.32 20.40 19.78 21.09 30.34 20.83 32.25 19.50 20.02 18.63 19.56
Comment: 2 messed up F-Perms ruined this one. The 13 is very close to PB and full-step

I used to have a sub-20 average a long time ago, using Petrus, then I took a ~5 year break from cubing...now I'm working on switching to the Roux system.
It's taking a while to get used to, but this thread should be good motivation for me to get there!
So, here's my first go:

31.48, 33.14, 29.11, [33.56], 23.88, [23.70], 29.85, 30.44, 33.07, 32.13, 28.09, 3.67 == 30.47

ahhhhhh, that was terrible.
At least I can only improve from here.

Round 129
Average: 24.83
24.37, 23.37, 26.35, 22.91, (21.33), 24.38, 28.35, 24.67, (29.52), 24.75, 23.53, 25.68

Had to use Haiyan Memory instead of Zhanchi, because I lost an edge piece... so my times are just a little bit worse than they should be.

23.60, 19.96, 18.73, 23.29, 19.82, 32.60, 20.52, 21.35, 19.03, 18.78, 20.18, 21.29 =20.78
this 32.60: failed cross and dammit Z perm.

Round 130

Nice choke at the end, huh?

After watching Joey on 6x6 and noticing that my centres were 20secs quicker than his, but his 3x3 was 20secs quicker than mine, and following a conversation with Rowan and Thom about how my 3x3 times seriously hinder my big cube times, I'm going to rejoin this race using 6x6 with no inspection

James Ludlow (with 6x6) : Round 130 : 29.29

30.78 (24.30) 29.42 26.91 (33.10) 27.54 32.79 31.23 30.49 25.87 29.22 28.68 = 29.29

Comment : Clearly parity would affect tis on a real 6x6 solve, but I think sub25 is doable in a couple of weeks.

Round 130

Average: 22.16

Times:
1. 19.25
2. 24.44
3. 22.79
4. 21.67

It's not? But on the first post, it says,

You can join if:
1. You average above sub 20
2. If you are one handed cubing

Am I reading it wrong or something?

Round 130

Average: 19.83

18.40, 18.84, 20.12, (16.89), 20.87, 17.06, (29.27)P.O.O.P., 19.61, 22.30, 21.26, 22.10, 17.76

Round 130
24.90

22.70, 24.76, 22.99, 26.94, (18.58), 25.29, 22.17, 25.38, 21.62, (47.47) , 32.59, 24.60

I did much better thatn i thought!

This is my first roud that I'm in.

Round 130

Average: 24.39

28.22, 26.68, (30.33), (20.22), 21.01, 27.62, 23.35, 21.96, 22.14, 27.02, 23.58, 22.34

Using a traded LingYun. It's like super loose, but I like it for some reason and I use it. It locks up, explaining my varying times.

Bad.

23.83, 27.32, 22.88, 25.87, 22.74, 28.65, 25.43, 24.08, 20.75, 24.93, 24.24, 27.91 = 24.92

The first post is misleading. The original poster meant that you could join in one-handed if you wanted to, as an alternative to two-handed. You'll have to pardon him; I suspect English is a second language for him. Since it is quite unclear, I'll change it to try to make it clearer.

In any event, almost all of us here are competing two-handed. (RyanReese09 is actively competing one-handed with the ZZ method right now, so he's an exception.)

EDIT: I just modified the rules to hopefully make them a little clearer. They probably still need some work, but hopefully now they won't confuse anyone else too much.

Round 130: 20.64
21.62, 19.97, 19.03, 19.92, 23.42, 17.77, 20.07, 21.37, 15.99 (OLL skip), 22.67, 23.58, 20.62
my lookahead keeps getting better making a dent in the sub-20 barrier!!

Round 130
Average: 18.26
1. 18.17
2. 14.98
3. 18.96
4. 19.43
5. 17.82
6. 18.43
7. 18.31
8. 17.85
9. (13.98)
10. 19.06
11. 19.62
12. (21.67)

I guess I'll join, since I haven't already.....

Choked with that 21 at the end. But a good average, and hopefully all sub-20s next round.
