I think I might submit an average of the first 12 scrambles. Would that be ok for this round?
Don't have the time to do all 100.

yeah, just do 12 solves if you can't.
21st set of scrambles:
Average: 22.97
Standard Deviation: 2.56
Best Time: 16.75
Worst Time: 30.52
Yes!!! I didn't choke. I almost did - many bad solves at the very end, but I managed sub-23. This is my best ever average of 100; my previous best appears to have been 24.41 back in October. In all fairness, it's been a while since I've done an average of 100, though.
And I had a 21.76 average 10/12 in there, and a 20.28 average 3/5.
Very good result for me. I think I made a significant improvement jump about a week ago. Now I'm afraid I'm going to lose it again if I don't practice like crazy - does anyone else ever experience that?
Spoiler:
I'm starting the AVG 100 now, but i just had to say that i got a full LL skip on the first solve, solution coming

21st set
NOTE: I only did scrambles 1 to 12
20.82 (25.94) 21.13 24.92 22.68 25.19 23.61 21.88 (17.33) 20.57 21.64 18.68
Avg12: 22.11
Overall, not very proud of my time...average 25.25, with a slow time of 39.43 (many mistakes), but I got my my personal best 16.36.
Is it alright if we don't do all 100 scrambles in one sitting? I want to see what my a100 is but I don't think I'll have time to sit down and do 100 solves right in a row.
Dang, I normally do better than this.

I'm not the only one. Look at Mats Bergsten - he's just barely sub-40 at 3x3x3 speedsolving, and yet he's often sub-2 at 3x3x3 BLD, and quite decent at big cubes BLD and multi.
And I have probably practiced more 3x3x3 speedsolving since October than I have practiced all BLD events combined. I have probably averaged 30-40 solves per day, plus some focused practicing on individual things.
It really seems like speedsolving is something that is more difficult to improve on when you get older. I don't know if that's due to lack of time to practice (maybe 30-40 solves per day is too little to improve much?), or if it's just something to do with being older. But it seems like most of the older people who are good at speedsolving have to work really hard at it to get there, while the younger ones seem to improve almost overnight in comparison.
And yeah, I felt a lot of pressure on that last solve. As I recall, it was a fairly easy solve, though; I was relieved as I was about halfway through it, because I realized I was going to make sub-23.
