Me too:

Just the Finnish Championship left this year. More goals for me.

2x2: sub-4.5 average, sub-3.5 single (low priority)
3x3: sub-15 average, sub-13 single
4x4: sub-1 average, sub-50 single
5x5: sub-2:10 average, sub-2 single
6x6: get a mean
7x7: get a mean (then I'll be a silver member)
3BLD: sub-50 single, (sub-1 mean), 2nd place
FMC: sub-30 mean, 2nd place (1st place possible if I get really lucky)
OH: sub-30 average
WF: sub-1:15 mean, 2nd place
Mega: sub-2:10 average, sub-2 single
Pyra: sub-3.5/sub-4 average, comp pb single, 2nd place, hmm... how about 1st place:rolleyes:
Clock: sub-9 average, sub-8 single, 2nd place
Skewb: really happy with my current comp pbs, but let's say sub-7 average
Square-1: sub-22 average, sub-20 single, maybe
4BLD: sub-5 single, 2nd place
5BLD: succeed, sub-20, 2nd place (1st place, only success was mine)
MBLD: NR!!, 1st place

Hmm, it looks bad like that, but I somehow knew most of these were too tough goals. Currently I'm feeling I fulfilled all of my important goals, mainly the multi-blind nr and nr2 pyra average.

Awesome! Next up drilling my 3bld comms (finish learning full corner 3-style), transferring them also to multi and pushing my limits again. I think first I'll go on to 25 cubes, that should take a while.

Still waiting for that 7x7 average, maybe I'll find a comp with an easy cutoff (or then I should just practice a bit).

[pizo45]

My goal is to be sub-30 with beginners method by the end of the year

 

[Hazel]

My goal is to be sub-30 with beginners method by the end of the year

It would probably be much better to switch to an advanced method (Roux, CFOP, ZZ, etc.) before that, maybe at like sub-50ish

Anyway I just want to get really comfortable with the T ZBLL set as soon as possible

I've started learning Roux-- ZZ looks really cool but EO is super hard, and CFOP has waaay too many algorithms

 

[PyraMaster]

Goal:
Finish learning full PLL and learn full OLL!

Deadline:
February 9, at 10:20pm

 

[Duncan Bannon]

Cancel old goal. By first comp. Somewhere between Feb. and July ish.
New goal:
Sub 4 on 2x2
Sub 20 on 3x3

[GenTheSnail]

Goals for Dixon Winter 2017 (Even though It's still technically fall)

Single/Average - Extra - Bonus
3x3: Sub 10s/12.5a - Finals, Sub 12a lol nope by a lot
4x4: Sub 55s/64a - Top 20 - Sub 60a DNF average eh, its 4x4 so who cares
5x5: Sub 1:45s/2:00a - Sub 1:55a 1:46s 1:50a
7x7: Sub 5:10s/5:20a DNFed first solve, would have been something like 5:20
OH: Sub 14s/18a - Sub 17.5a - Podium 15.81, 17.59, 18.41, (19.71), (15.21) = 17.27 5th place

Get all of my ZBLLs usable. no accidentally forced an H perm during OH and missed a PB single
Not have my hands freeze. nice and warm inside
Help out to get the comp running fast enough so that they add an extra round of OH. not really, we were running behind in the middle but got back on track towards the end
Arrive on time. very much so
Have a fun time hanging out with people outside of competing. not really

Fun comp, I really need to practice BLD, 3x3, and algs more, and OH if I ever want to podium

[WACWCA]

Goals for Severna Park
3x3 pb (8.85) average, podium
4x4: sub 40 average
Sq-1: sub 15 average, podium
2x2: sub 1.8 average, win
Pyraminx: sub 5 average, podium
Mega: sub 1:20 average

 

[joshsailscga]

Hey I'm actually going to a comp again so...
Severna Park goals

3x3: definitely sub-13 average, maybe sub-12 if I manage to figure out how to keep my lookahead from disappearing like it usually does...
4x4: sub-48 average, maybe sub-45 if I don't screw up
2x2: lol it's been two years since I went to a comp with 2x2 and I don't think I've gotten any faster. Maybe sub-5 average and I can hang up my 2x2 hat happily
pyra: same as 2x2 honestly. Low-9, high-8 average maybe?
SQ1: I don't even think I still know how to solve it...

EDIT: Sweeet
I actually got the sub-12 3x3 average! 11.88 in the semis put me in 17th, just outside of finals. I'll get that next time I guess.
45.61 4x4 average was also pretty sweet.
2x2 prediction was pretty spot-on, 5.84 average means exactly what I said...
I forgot my pyra so just judged during that section.
SQ1... probably luckiest average ever. I know 5 algs total for cubeshape, CO, EO, CP, and EP combined. The soft cut was 0:40, I average about 48ish so I knew I would need a lucky solve to make it. Got the lucky solve with a 30.03, then got a 33 right after. Followed up with a 54, 40, and 43. 1/5 parities in the whole average.

Overall, definitely the best I've felt leaving a comp before. Really happy about the 3x3 and 4x4 averages, as I feel they now display where I actually am in terms of skill level. SQ1 was just a bonus lol

 

[GenTheSnail]

Join the sub10 2H and sub14 OH ZZers before the end of 2019

lets go boi

 

[GenTheSnail]

Goals for Lions Cubing 2018

Event: Average/Single, Extra, Bonus

3x3: Sub 12/10, Top 15 and no sup-14, Sub 11.5 average
5x5: Sub 1:50/1:45, no sup-2:00, Sub 1:45/1:40
7x7: Sub 5:30/5:15, don't get last, Sub 5:20/5:00
3BLD: Sub 4:00/3:00, don't get last, Sub 3:30/2:30
OH: Sub 17/14, Podium? and beat James, Sub 16.5/13.5

Practice these events enough to be able to have a chance at completing these goals. I've got two weeks.

Warm, dry hands that don't lock up excessively.
Don't do anything stupid with ZBLLs (I've forced H-perms in OH twice, realizing it halfway through the alg both times).
Get the organizer to add a second round of OH
Bring my friend to his first competition.
Have fun, which I am actually bad at doing. I'm too competitive when competing at my competitions.

Singapore Cube Championship 2018

222: sub-6 average
333: sub-16 average
444: meet the cutoff (currently 1:00 0:55), sub-53 average
555: meet the cutoff (currently 1:40 1:35 (rip))
777: sub-4:40 mean
OH: meet the cutoff (currently 0:30 0:25 (also rip))
FMC: don't DNF the first solve like I did last year sub-30 single, podium
3bld: get a success (aiming high, I know)
Megaminx: sub-1:40 average
Skewb: sub-10 average

bonus goals (aka lol this isn't going to happen)

222: sub-5 average
333: sub-10 single, sub-14 average, make it to the second round
444: sub-45 single, sub-50 average
OH: sub-20 single
FMC: get/tie the NR for single or mean (25 and 29.00 28.67 as of now)

FMC competition looks tough(er) this year, especially since I haven't practised/improved much in the last two years. If I can perform as well as how I do at home (averaging 31-ish), podium is likely (50%?) but definitely not guaranteed. Winning or getting NRs is essentially impossible with how good guysensei1 has gotten…

 

[PapaSmurf]

For the end of 2018:

Know 493/493 zblls.
Sub 10 zz 2H, sub 16 OH.
sub 1:30 mega with zz-spike.
Go to at least one comp.
Sub 45 on 4x4 OR create a viable zz method for 4x4.
A sub 1 single bld. Shouldn't be too hard.
4bld success.

Also, maybe do schoolwork. If I feel like it.

 

[Competition Cuber]

Goals for Nothern Neck Winter (single, average):
3x3: PB, PB (but no big deal for average) Nope, nope
4x4: Sub-49, PB yes, yes

Event: Average/Single, Extra, Bonus

3BLD: Sub 4:00/3:00, don't get last, Sub 3:30/2:30
DNF/DNF, 8 people DNFed with me so eh? any success of mine would have been slowest tho
OH: Sub 17/14, Podium? and beat James, Sub 16.5/13.5
16.22/14.82, 3rd, beat James H, Chris O, and Walker W.

Practice these events enough to be able to have a chance at completing these goals. I've got two weeks.
~800 3x3 solves, 200 Megaminx solves, 50 OH solves, 5 5x5 solves, 2.5 BLD solves (10m before the round started), 2 7x7 solves.

Warm, dry hands that don't lock up excessively.
Essentially only locked up on the 14.07 and the 15.65, both the first solves in the averages.
Don't do anything stupid with ZBLLs (I've forced H-perms in OH twice, realizing it halfway through the alg both times).
Yup. There weren't that many, but I did fairly okay executing them; I probably should drill them. Relearned 3 that I really needed to also.
Get the organizer to add a second round of OH
Oh but if I had I almost certainly wouldn't have kept my podium
Bring my friend to his first competition.
Nah he was busy but he wants to
Have fun, which I am actually bad at doing. I'm too competitive when competing at my competitions.
Well, I did pretty well competition wise, but I guess if I hadn't done so then I wouldn't have had fun.


Other Notes:

Last two 3x3 solves in R1 were COLL-> EPLL skip, but I wasn't able to recognize that. The single is .01 away from PB.
My first solve in 3x3 R2 was faster than James'. My delightfully childish reaction is on video and it's hilarious (to me).
I would have gotten a sub-1:50 average on 5x5 if my last solve were 2.13 seconds faster.
7x7 single is overall PB and my first sub-5.
One of the 3BLD solves was off just by parity but I didn't notice because I'm lazy. There was a 2:48 but I don't remember by how much it was off.

OH.
Was.
Insane.

I'm essentially still hyped about beating Chris to the OH podium by the .23 seconds. I ran two laps around the, albeit small, building after I finished the average because knew that I had done really well. I had to tell myself a dozen times that it was going to be 4th but then just asked the organizer if I had podiumed.
The average could have been sub-16 if the last solve was .67 seconds faster but I'm trying not to dwell on that

I'm not sure if this or my 1:02 megaminx average was a better experience.
