First Comp

[Paul Landers]

Finally going to a competition! I'm excited. September 9th. I'm only participating in 3x3 speedsolving, though. I'm not that good to get sub-60 on OH. Let's hope I can learn full PLL before the comp. Wish me luck!

Don't force yourself to learn full pll. If the algs are new to you you're quite likely to mess them up in competition. I recommend learning 4 look last layer and work mainly on your first two layers. Try to simulate a competition environment as much as possible in next week and good luck! (Also you don't really need to learn full pll until you avg 30 or less.)

I average 30* seconds with LBL + CFOP (CFOP with about 3 OLLS, and the PLLS, LBL all yellow cross). I have T Perm, both J perms, Y, both A, and R(a). I've gotten down to sub 1.5 on T Perm, J(b), and both A's. My largest problem is recognizing. I plan on working on that, and being color neutral. Too bad I didn't bring my cube

EDIT: I also tend to get 24-28 seconds a lot.

Maybe go for learning Rb (so you don't get confused about whether you know a case) and F, because it's basically a modified T perm. Don't try to learn the G perms before a comp, you will forget them.

Wasn't planning on learning G perms. I have F perm next on my list, since you said it's a modified T perm. T Perm is pretty easy for me. Thanks for telling me that, haha. I am on limited time (9 days). I have school in 5 days, so I will try and learn before then. I actually made this, so I'm keeping track of my progress of ALGS.

I really wouldn't learn anything new this close to a comp. Just practice what you know. Good luck.

Good luck
