The comp was really fun! I got a total of 10 PRs, which I'm happy with!

I got a 4BLD success (did not expect that) but no 3BLD success lol (my wca profile is going to look pretty funny once the results are uploaded)
I kind of messed up pyra, but 4th place is still good.
I got my first ever official 6x6 mean (overall PB, with a PB single!)
Megaminx went well (missed PB average by 0.16)
I also got a really nice 3x3 average and skewb single!

I'm going to try to update this thread more often

I had my 11th competition a week ago, and I got my second podium! (I'm also 99th in North America for Clonk now lol)

Here's a video of my clonk prs:

I'm going to make a CH2BLD tutorial soon!

 

[EthanMCuber]

I have two comps coming up in the next two weeks lol

BASC 59 SSF: 2x2, 3x3, Pyra, Skweb
Goals:
2x2: prs, finals?
3x3: sub-10 single
Pyra: podium??
Skweb: finals, pr average (haven't beaten it since I got it over a year ago)

BASC 60 Mountain View: 2x2, 3x3, 5x5, OH, Clonk, Skweb
Goals:
2x2: prs, finals maybe?
3x3: sub-10 single if I dnf my average or do something dumb like that again
5x5: sub 1:40 avg to qualify for NAC
OH: good solves for once
Clonk: sub-5 average, low 4 single? (at least top 100 in North America)
Skweb: finals, pr average if I keep dnfing (yes I dnfed my last skweb average too)

also I really hope I don't lose my pr streak lol
(prob will happen at BASC 59)

oh yeah I'm still working on the ch2bld tutorial

I've also been 3d printing a lot of puzzles so I might make a thread on that soon

A lot of people did really badly in finals, including me (I dnfed a 4.41 single), but somehow I won

I also got a 5.27 average and 4.67 single in round 1, so I'm now CR70!
