Welcome to the CFOP substep competition!
This started as a cross+1 comp in Marcel's intro thread and has been moved here on request. It has also been extended to add a couple more steps and make the results more interesting and I hope more motivating. Enjoy!
Format
Each week there will be three sets of scrambles. You can enter against any or all of these steps. You don't have to enter all three, but results will only include your splits if you do.
Results
Report averages as regular ao12s (remove best and worst and take the mean of the remaining 10). Submit results in this thread in the following format or similar.

Other guidance
- If you're colour neutral, for pairs and LS+LL do two solves with each colour on bottom.
- Make sure to fully solve the cube before each scramble, otherwise different people will be starting from different states.
- Results will include a splits analysis. If you enter more than one step, try to keep consistent conditions and form. If you do cross+1 in daylight when on fast form, then pairs late at night in poor lighting while tired, your splits may be skewed. Interleaving the sessions is a good way to ensure consistent form.
- Each round will not close before the closing time specified. I'll accept all entries up until the time I post results, even if late. Because I'm a dad with a busy job, please don't expect me to be super-punctual in posting results and scrambles
