Hi,
I saw that there are no active "Race to sub-20 on 3x3" threads so I decided to start one. the rules are same as usual, get a sub-20 average three times to graduate. Please list the cube you are using and what method you are using. I will post new scrambles every Thursday.

Thanks for competing!

The old race to sub 20 was restarted, so I don't know how that'll work out. I'd talk to @earth2dan , especially as they don't seem to be very definite about their availability, and maybe just move this back into the original thread.
