Goals for Lawrence Fall 2k to the 16 (tomorrow!)

Pyra: Pb single and average? Lol. I haven't practiced pyra in over a year. I littlerally don't care how I do in pyra. Well, unless I mess up bad. Even then I don't really care.
Megaminx: I'd have to PB by 50 seconds to make the soft cutoff so... I may just scratch. I care about mega the slightest bit more than pyra. That's to say not much at all.
2x2: Sub 5 average, comp PB single. Finals would be cool. I don't really care about 2x2.
OH: sub 30 average, sub 25 single? Top ten would be great. I sorta care about OH. It's one of my better rankings so there's that. I've been stagnant for quite a while though.
3bld: Success please! I care about 3bld a good deal
Skewb: Sub 10 average, sub 7 single. Top ten would be nice. I care about skewb.
5x5: be such an amazing staff member that we hold 5x5. sub 2:30 average (sub 2:20?) sub 2:15 single (at least). Top ten. I really care about 5x5.
3x3: GIVE ME A SUB 15 AVERAGE PLEASE! I better. PB single what ever that is. Make finals. I kinda really, really care about 3x3. Well, getting a sub 15 average at least.

Clock: get one. Maybe solve it a couple times. Uh. I want one? So I guess I care a little.

2x2: lol. Just PB average I guess
3x3: I'm glad that 3x3's later into the day, less nerves. Sub 12 average, sub 10 single.
4x4: Don't get a bad average. Also sub 50 single would be cool.
5x5: Sub 2 average
6x6: Depends how much I practise between then and now. Bare minimum, make hard cutoff.
OH: Been practising this a fair amount, I still suck at turning. Just PBs.

5x5- bruh 4 pops and 2 n perms
pyra- no new pbs, but I don't really care
OH- not very good (18.91 and 19.36)
sq-1- 12.99 single makes up for the 19.27 average. Also had a timer reset, and if I didn't then the average would of been sub-18

2x2: lol. Just PB average I guess 4.47 average. Good enough for me.

3x3: I'm glad that 3x3's later into the day, less nerves. Sub 12 average, sub 10 single. Didn't help me much, still shook a lot. Got neither of these goals, can't say I'm suprised. 12.4 average and 10.5 single is okay for now.

4x4: Don't get a bad average. Also sub 50 single would be cool. Got 2 45 singles which is pretty cool, as well as a 53 average. Pleased with my performance in this event.

5x5: Sub 2 average Had a really good showing in this event. 1:42 single and 1:48 average with a counting 1:55+2. Still overall PB average :confused:

6x6: Depends how much I practise between then and now. Bare minimum, make hard cutoff. Made cutoff pretty comprehensively with a 4:12 single, not good enough for an average, but not disappointed. Double parity and lots of lockups in the solve too. I still have a long way to go in 6x6.

OH: Been practising this a fair amount, I still suck at turning. Just PBs. Really nice times in OH. NL 20.03 single and 22.2 average. Was not expecting that at all.
Really pleased with my performance this weekend. Hard not to be disappointed by getting so close to finals in so many events and not making any of them though. Had a blast, looking forward to the next one!

I thought I was quitting earlier this year, but I guess it was more of a Kevin Hays quit (lol)

Anyway, goals for TJHSST Fall 2016:
Finish my take-home physics exam due on the 21st so I actually have the time to go :)
3x3: sub-13.5 average, maybe sub-13 if I don't get too nervous
4x4: sub-50 average, beat pb single to keep that particular red-letter streak alive
OH: sub-25 average
BLD: sub-2 single would be nice, sub-1:40 would be sweet. I've really gotten into BLD recently

TJHSST Fall goals
3x3: sub 10 avg

GJ, I judged a couple of those solves.

TJHSST Fall 2016:
3x3: sub-13.5 average, maybe sub-13 if I don't get too nervous LOL haven't touched a stackmat timer in a year, +2ed a decent solve, got 4 bad solves, 15.40 average. I ran the numbers, I missed round 2 (chance to redeem that average) solely because of the +2...
4x4: sub-50 average, beat pb single to keep that particular red-letter streak alive 49.55 average in round 2, pretty sweet. Beat single in first round but missed by <.5 in 2nd. Oh well, I don't really care now that I have actual decent times :)
OH: sub-25 average lel was on track but then I forgot how to N-perm on last solve and had a counting 28. Missed round 2 because of that...
BLD: sub-2 single would be nice, sub-1:40 would be sweet. I've really gotten into BLD recently 2/3 successes, including my first official attempt! had a 2:35 as well as a 2:20 that should have been a 1:50 (forgot corner memo for 30 seconds as verified by video of solve). Overall I'm pretty satisfied with that, for my first time BLDing :D

And be able to do these algs OH and with Feet

super super basic BLD comms

3x3:
Sub-14.5 global average, with Blue/Orange front neutrality
Sub-13 Ao12
Sub-12 Ao5
Sub-11 Mo3
sub-9 single

OH:
Sub-20 global average
Sub-15 Ao5
Sub-12 single

Sub-40 Mo3
Sub-35 single

Megaminx:
Sub-1:30 global average

These are a bit challenging, so hopefully I can practice focused and complete these goals.

Goals for the end of year comps in Johannesburg and hopefully Cape Town:

3x3: Sub 18 average, sub 15 single. No averages over 20. - No (18.33 average), No (15.47 single), No (only 5/7 averages sub-20)
OH: Sub 30 average, sub 25 single. No (30.20 average), No (25.61 single)
Pyra: Sub 10 average, single doesn't matter. Yes (8.12 average), Yes (single was good but didn't matter).

Overall: Keep up my unbroken PB streak for my 12th and 13th comps. Going to be difficult with both comps having so few events. Yes, comfortably (5 PBs at Johannesburg, 4 in Cape Town)
Next events to target are Megaminx and 3BLD.

Park Orchard is coming up soon:

2x2: Sub 4 average would be cool but I don't care that much

3x3: Sub 12 average, sub 10 single. Don't fail again.

4x4: Buy a Wuque

OH: I set the bar for myself pretty high with average last comp, looking for a sub 20 single this time.

Pyra: Couldn't care less.

Skewb: Single / average PBs.

Nope.

3x3: Sub 12 average, sub 10 single. Don't fail again.
11.91 average (about time). Still not 100% satisfied with it though, since it had a counting 12.56. Sub 10 single will have to wait for another time.

4x4: Buy a Wuque
Borrowed someone else's Wuque, so I guess I failed my goal. :p 42.99 single is super cool though.

OH: I set the bar for myself pretty high with average last comp, looking for a sub 20 single this time.
Surprised myself once again with a 22.53 PB average, still no sub 20 though.
Pyra: Couldn't care less.
6.61 average, 5.12 single. Eh.

Skewb: Single / average PBs.
Failed the average, but got a stupid 4.63 which should have been a 3.

Not quite the amazing performance of last comp, but certainly not bad. Particularly pleased with the 42 4x4 single, as well as finally breaking the sub 12 barrier in 3x3.
