Aha, anti-improvement , I just got a hand injury so I bet mine will go sky high too :S, although I suck at OH, can I give it a bash as well as roux please?

I guess I'm hesitant to allow OH too, since that would mean you use the same scrambles twice. I know you'd be using a different method so it wouldn't make much difference, but still.

No problem, I can do it when I pass Roux (If I ever do xD)

So pessimistic. I thought you said you "suck" at Roux. Already sub-20 average. Who are you kidding here? I think I will enter with OH though because I need a motivator thread for me to practice OH.

Round 275

Average = 21.35
23.26, 22.47, 19.81, 17.50, (26.15), 21.75, 21.36, 17.98, (15.95), 20.34, 24.57, 24.42

Not very happy with this one, recently i have been getting constant sub-20's but today was not my day.

Round 275 - 3x3 on 4x4

Average: 23.52
