Hey guys! Since you're all probably wondering what this is, it is an idea I got from h2f in the race to sub-30 and 25 thread. What I was thinking is, It could run just like a normal race thread, but you can compete 5 times (or more if you want) until you are the same speed in all 5 different colors. (yes I know there are 6 but you already know 1) So you would just pick a color you want to start with, make your own goal, reach that goal 3 times and move on to the other colors. I'm not going to start it yet because I don't know if anyone will do it. Just let me know if you think it's stupid or if you really want to do it. (because I think you can never have enough race threads :)
ALSO I TAKE NO CREDIT FOR THIS
h2f came up with this and I thought it was really cool so I'm gonna see if you guys want to do it :)
 
Wow thanks for the support guys! For school reasons, I will post the new scrambles/results on Saturdays (not tomorrow though because I don't have this whole thing figured out yet [and I'm going paintballing]) Looking forward to starting it!
 
Round 1 ends 2/6
I lied about not starting it today lol I had some free time.
I'm not gonna be picky about late results so just post them whenever.
Rules will just be like any other race thread, if I'm late with new rounds, please don't murder me. You can set your own goals and graduate after reaching that goal 3 times. Please specify which color you are working on and after you graduate, specify your new color also.

The reason I chose sub-26 is because the only reason you would want to be color neutral is if you see a better case, so if I do see a better case in the yellow cross, I'll most likely get below 26 second solves.

I'm already double color neutral (white + yellow) and my brother is color neutral, so I'd say that I'm pretty good at solving on other colors for someone that's non-color neutral. I usually average 14-15.

I'd never attempted anything other than white cross before this. This was an interesting experiment though and whilst I don't know how much CN practice I'll be able to put in, I'd be up for entering this in the future if it keeps going.

Thanks for running this.

Srry about the links in the spoilers. I couldn't figure out how to put just the image in there.
Also, I am open to any ideas anyone may have for the appearance of the graphs.
