Consolidated Introductory Races Thread
trophy.jpg

This thread is a continuation of the race to sub 30 thread and the race to sub 25 thread. I will post scrambles here weekly. I will try to start a new round every Monday. I will use whatever scrambler I happen to have open/handy at the moment to generate scrambles. Anyone can participate. Please indicate which method you are using and also which race you are entering each time. The rules are the same, and are listed below. Have fun!

Rules
How this works
* Follow all WCA guidelines for scrambling/solving/etc when possible.
* If there is a timer malfunction or some other valid reason for throwing out a specific scramble, redo the solve but perform the scramble twice.
* Use whatever timer you have available.
* You graduate when you meet the goal for three consecutive rounds.
* You are encouraged to post videos. This is not to "keep people honest" but instead is a way for us to offer each advice. That is the goal here after all; to get faster. If you post a video of your graduating round, I will include a link to your video post in the graduates list. This is not a requirement for graduation... just a bonus.
* Please post ALL of your times, not just the average.
* Put your average at the beginning of your post as a "bold" "size 4" font.
* Post the round for which you are submitting results, just to avoid confusion.
* Enter with as many methods as you like. The first posted average will count toward graduation.

Round 1
Race to Sub-25
Rubik's cube one-handed

Avg12: 25.55 (σ = 3.57)
22.93, 27.16, 22.66, 28.67, 25.82, 19.56, 22.53, (32.88), 26.03, 29.24, (17.64[OLL Skip]), 30.86

17 was close to PB but I botched the G-Perm. Overall good average, but the 30 at the end ruined the Sub-25
