Round 6

Event: 3BLD

MoB6: 01:14.08

Time List :

1. 1:24.82
2. 1:11.60 (DNF)
3. 1:27.74
4. 1:29.29
5. 1:07.69

* Solve #8 was 01:02.12 and ironically had a +2, lol. Some really lucky scrambles there, made for an excellent result.

I don't know if I'll have time for MBLD and 4BLD until Friday. Just moved into a new house and things are crazier than usual.
 
Round 6 Results

Thanks for everyone for competing! Results for round 6 are updated and can be found here (Google Sheets). Different events in different tabs. Please inform me if you find any mistakes.

Gj @Gregory Alekseev, you've graduated from 3BLD! But your new goal for 4BLD was missing.
Also I graduated from my super easy goals in both 3BLD and 4BLD.

Round 7
Racing to sub-x (and other goals for multi) in all the official blindfolded events. Set the goal, and keep it up for three weeks in a row - or 4 weeks out of 5 - in order to graduate and set a new goal. If you are first time racing, or changed your method, please include it to your post as well (no need for that in MBLD though).
_____________
3BLD
Compete an average of 12, like usual. The six worst attempts will be eliminated and the mean of the remaining six is your result for the week. At maximum, you can get 6 DNF:s without losing your average.

MBLD
Generate the amount of scrambles you wish using Mark2. You can do two attempts per week if you wish to, the best one is count as your result. 1 hour time limit.

You may set whatever goal you feel like, because multi can get so long-term. You can race to a tough goal, or try to keep up your current level. You can also set time goals if you wish to. The basic rule now is: get your goal once and you've graduated. It's easy to add a cube or try to get faster at the current amount of them. Of course you can specify if you still wish to try and get the goal for multiple weeks in a row; you decide it!

New round up every Friday. Good luck at blindsolving! :)

I won't have time for other events this week.

1:41.47, DNF, 1:58.99, 1:50.79, DNF, DNF, 2:05.24, DNF, 2:05.63, DNF, DNF, 1:51.69

3BLD (sub-1:10)
1:01.81, DNF, DNF, DNF, DNF, 1:25.60, DNF, 1:18.30, 1:29.12, DNF, DNF, DNF = DNF

Oh. My. Goth. This was a fantastic result, including a PB Single (55.15) and Ao12 (1:18.33) rolled into my main csTimer session.

Too bad I haven't been having time to focus on MBLD and 4BLD. All my free time has been devoted to 3BLD (getting into 3Style now) and the results definitely show.

Well that could have been better. And getting nervous doesn't help at all.
Those Dnfs really set me back, plus that +2. Oh well.
I've seen this thread since the start on the accomplishment thread, and I haven't made it until this week. Let's see what happens next week.
