Gonna take the solving dose at the morning. Because...

It's My BIRTHDAY!! Wooohoooo!!
Carson, If we're entering as Colour Neutral and suddenly we always make white cross, is that legal? (LOL it's going back to basic)

As far as improving yourself goes: I would imagine that intentionally avoiding your usual color for cross would be a lot more beneficial, even if it means passing on some easy white crosses. I'm not going to hold anyone to that though. For color neutral, feel free to pick the best color even if it is your typical color.
 
Sub 30!

Hey everyone! I competed in 2 previous rounds and achieved sub 30 so this is my 3rd round! I really tried looking ahead on F2L and I improved my recognition on the 2 Look OLLs. I did a lot better than I expected. Big improvement. Thanks Carson for the great competition I had a great time! This thread really motivated me to improve and work harder!

Cube: Alpha V
Method:Cross, Intuitive F2L, 2 Look OLL, PLL

I F**KING HATE MY CUBE

yes i am blaming every single sup-25 solve in that average on my cube. because every single one of them was from ridiculous lockups, not worse-than-usual lookahead. even including the first one, even though that one was barely sup-25, because on that solve i finished the F2L before 12 seconds was up...in other words the last layer took 13 and a half seconds.

EDIT: yay gradutated from this thread

Only 2 sup-30's but no sub-25's :-(
I didn't practice at all today, just did one solve before starting these 12.
I've been trying to get a long sequence of sub-30 solves but have not yet been able to get longer then 11 solves. One day, i will laugh about this, right now it's kind of frustrating to get sup-30's.
I have been doing quite some changes in my solves, i changed 2 PLL's and 2 OLL's and learned about 10 new OLL's so i'm not really very fluent.
Also, i did these solves at night, with pretty low light, so i had to use my Haiyen cube instead of the FII i use at daytime. The colors of the stickers on the FII are a little washed out which makes recognition in low light very hard, especially the reds and oranges, they look almost the same in low light.

48.39

Had my glass of milk, ready to pwn now. First time on this for me :) I'm still learning my 2 look PLL and have not yet been able to remember E and Z permutation all the time, so some times will be a lot slower ;)
Here goes:
1: 49.21
2: 50.24
3: 48.47
4: 47.65
5: 50.39
6: 41.40

8: 56.81*
9: 43.96
10: 44.67
11: 55.64
12: 38.07*

Average(from jnetcube, takes out best and worst): 48.39.
I hope to get at least sub 35 in about 20 days, how likely is it that I will be able to do it?
