If I skip round 339 and get a sub-20 average in round 340, do I still graduate? I may not have enough time to do a session before Thursday.

Yellow cross sucks

Round: 339
Event: ZZ
Times: 35.71, 30.21, 28.41, 19.13, 18.43, 25.77, 34.66, 21.74, 26.92, 25.64, 23.06, 23.00
Average of 12: 25.85

Last time I did ZZ 2H I was sub-25, but as you can tell by how bad the first few times were, and how my times were constantly decreasing for the first 5 solves, I haven't practised for a long time. If I do some more ZZ 2H in the next week, my next average will probably be sub-25.

Round 339
24.34
20.53, 27.53, 26.78, 27.17, (18.23), 20.00, 23.37, 24.29, 23.89, (34.20), 26.06, 23.79
This is my first race entry on this forum, so I was a bit nervous during my first solves as you can see on the times. I hope for some fun here on the racing/competition part of forum, and I hope I can improve my times a lot. I am happy for at least that one sub20, but there is obviously still quite a long journey to sub20 avg though.

Round 340
20.61
22.66, 19.58, (23.32), 22.82, 19.29, (13.86), 18.35, 20.48, 22.07, 20.31, 22.15, 18.40

At this point, I'm quite sure all I need is a lucky day at some competition to finally get my first sub-20 average in competition. Maybe tomorrow? :)
13.86 was a 7-move OLL, PLL skip. It felt amazing.

Round 340
19.15

18.32, 19.28, (15.25), 15.53, 21.44, (25.51), 20.67, 19.32, 19.72, 18.03, 17.90, 21.29

A good first few solves. I tried to rush the next few to get a better average, but that just messed my lookahead up.

Round 340

Average: 20.20

22.36, 19.32, 19.74, 17.66, 24.08, 19.73, (25.81), 16.87, 17.68, (15.78), 22.75, 21.79

Sub-20 to graduate... and I fluffed it up. I did the same in the sub-30 thread about 18 months ago.

On video, and I hope to upload it soon.
