From the first post in this thread:


You succeeded in being sub-20 for rounds 363, 368, and 433, with no other attempts in between. So, you graduate.

As for "to what?", that's up to you (as it is with most graduations, isn't it?). A logical place might be here, but it looks like you're already competing there, so maybe you already knew the answer?

So, Mike. What happens when you graduate? Will you keep running this thread or do you pass the baton?

I'm not sure. So far, it hasn't really been a concern.

If I ever do, perhaps I'll pass it to someone else, or perhaps I'll just keep running it out of habit.

Quick question, What happens after I graduate? (I think you graduate after 3 sub-20's...)

is there another thing like this, because that would be awesome.. I like posting on this thing mondays and thursdays :/

Can someone run a Racing to Sub-15 one? it would be pretty simple/similar, just with a different "Group" of times right? I could volenteer ... but... i dont really know how so....\\
Also that would be cool if there was a 4x4 one, because I'm so close to being sub-1 and these type of racing to sub-xx is pretty fun.

First time doing it. Some very bad times caused by stress. I started calming down at solve 8 so I did the f2l slower for better look-ahead. It always amazes me how going slower produces faster times

The thread:
https://www.speedsolving.com/forum/showthread.php?33859-3x3-Race-Thread-(15s-12s-10s-8s)

is supposed to cover sub-15 (as well as some faster groups), so I'd just suggest you participate in that one.

And there is a 4x4x4 one as well:

Of course, you're still welcome to participate in ours as an alumnus (like Gallifrey just did).

The point of competition is exactly to try and beat someone who is at first better than you
