    I get points for being faster with CFOP by 3-4 seconds but still using roux though, don't I?

    I would expect the Cambridge comp to be a 19 cutoff for round two. Usually the cutoff for 4x4 is ~1:10, and i doubt there would be a 2nd round of 5x5.
    3x3 1/5/12 5.31/8.13/8.97 4x4 1/5/12 29.78(DP)/33.19/34.47 7x7 1/3/5 3:31/3:43/3:49

    First person to actually read my post carefully (or others mightve but didnt bother to reply)
    (a^b)^c = a^(b c) e^(2 i pi c floor(1/2-(Im(b log(a)))/(2 pi)))
    I've been cubing for only just over 2 years and I feel old already

    West coast competitions are easier to advance with slower times. East coast is brutal. Being sub-20 isn't always necessary to advance to round 2, but it's becoming the norm.

    Define slower.
    Find me by looking for a box with a sticker that says Caution Radioactive Material the sticker is Yellow. Don't worry there's nothing radioactive in the box I put the sticker there just for fun-Womack
