Rules
  • 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.
  • When I post scrambles, I will post the earlies time/date that I will potentially use for cutting off that specific round. Although you may have more time to post your results, assume you only have until that time. Times will be listed in Eastern Standard Time (GMT -5:00).
  • You will be considered a "graduate" when you post Sub-30 averages for three consecutive rounds. (You can skip rounds, but you have to have three Sub-30 rounds with no SUPER-30 rounds between them)
  • You are encouraged to post videos, but they are not required. 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.
  • Please post ALL of your times, not just the average.
  • I don't care how you present your individual times when you post your results but please... PLEASE.... put your average at the beginning of your post as a "bold" "size 4" font. See the example post below to see how this works, if you don't already know.
  • ATTENTION GRADUATES: After you have "graduated" from this thread, you are welcomed to continue to participate and post your results if you so desire. The catch: Your times will not be listed in the results for each round, as this would make things cluttered for those still striving for the Sub-30 milestone, as well as making things more difficult for me. However, if you wish to participate using a different cross color/color neutral, a different method, etc... Just let me know and your results will start anew with these changes. This means that YES, it is possible to graduate from this thread more than once. Think of it as... a double major.
  • Just like in college, your credits will eventually "expire". Times will be valid for 10 rounds. What does this mean? If you post two consecutive sub-30 averages, but do not participate for 10 rounds, but then post another sub-30 average, you WILL NOT graduate based on those times. Times are valid for 10 rounds only...

Two quick notes:
  1. A lot of the "newer" participants are not putting their results in the correct format (see above). Putting the results together goes much quicker if I don't have to "dig" through each post to find the average. PLEASE DO THIS!
  2. See the above addition to the rules about expiration of results. If this does not make sense to you, just ask. This will not apply to most of you, but be familiar with it anyway.
 
AVG: 34.27

1. 37.95
2. (27.14)
3. (46.44)
4. 32.66
5. 32.55
6. 33.80

8. 28.25
9. 31.55
10. 33.78
11. 34.06
12. 39.80

Very bad OLL mess up and slow F2L this time around.
 
First ever round in one of these things. Not too shabby.

Round 12
Average: 27.25

Individual Times:
1. (22.46)
2. 29.56
3. 30.89
4. 26.19
5. 27.25
6. 25.93
7. (31.00)
8. 24.23
9. 24.98
10. 30.01
11. 27.61
12. 25.90

Only 3 sup-30s and only one of those was 31. Good start.
 
Finally!!! My first ever Sub-30 AO12. It wasn't for this contest, it was just practice, and it was a rolling average, but still... it is my first. Here are the times from the session. The times with asterisks are included in the Sub-30 AO12. There are 13 of those times because I held the average for an additional solve after attaining it. The times to the right are the average after that solve.

31.33
37.22
33.56
40.35
28.59
33.14
30.27
32.03*

31.45* --- 32.03
26.74* --- 31.58
26.29* --- 30.53
33.97* --- 30.57
30.15* --- 30.19
35.39* --- 30.73
25.90* --- 30.04
29.51* --- 29.97
31.03* --- 29.87
34.48 ---- 30.15
 
Yay Carson! Too bad it wasn't for the race!:(

I like the addition to the rules! You can really improve with 10 weeks of practice. The "graduation" would hold no real merit if you skip that many weeks in between.

GRR.. Those DNFs.... :( :(
Otherwise, this would have been the prime of my cubing and as Chris Hardwick said, it really was as if the pair presented themselves to me like, "HERE WE ARE" and the pairs would look really bright and stand out compared to the LL pieces. :cool:

I didn't know that... That explains why gqtimer kept showing my session averages as being DNF.
What section is that in on the WCA regulations?
Click to expand...

9f9) In 'Average of 5' rounds one DNF or DNS is counted as the worst result, with more than one DNF and/or DNS the average is DNF.
