average of five sounds good too me.

James Ludlow : Round 8 : 6.05.03

5.55.84 5.52.22 6.27.04 = 6.05.03

Comment - Consistency!

My main reasoning behind avg5 is bad solve like my third kill a mean. At least you stand a fighting chance losing the slowest time with an avg.

Right then, general concencus is that im now running this competition... at least i think i am, there will be a few changes including format and timings:
As i live in the uk its not easy putting scrambles up at midnight so it will now be monday morning (between 7 and 8 ish)
And the format will be Ao5 as most agree they either want more solves or think an Ao5 is more fair than a Mo3
The scrambles i use will still be WCA format and from CCT or Prismapuzzletimer
And some time i will make a few posts with links to all previous rounds, scrambles, times and graduates... similar to the sub 20 race
