How did I get a 9.96 official average while averaging 12

[Thomas.Caleb]

So back in June 2024 I went to a competition in Northern Ireland called Belfast summer 2024 and my 3x3 results were crazy.
So back then i averaged 12 and had 3x3 PR of 12.31 and in the first round and smashed it with a new PR of 11.70 and in the second round it was just average 12.54 average but in finals something crazy happened i got a 11.33 8.27 10.28 which I actually did the wrong pll on 17.51 and to top it off a 7.88 and finished with a still standing PR average of 9.96 and the closest I have come is 9.97 at Chichester January 2025.
But I’m meanly trying to say is does it actually seem right to get a sub 10 official average while averaging barely sub 13?

Yes. I average 25 and got a 19.387 PB ao5. Getting a lucky ao5 is bound to happen eventually. It just happened in a comp.

I often find that I do better in competition than at home (especially in events I don't care that much about). I think this is probably because instead of doing solve after solve, you have to wait a while in between solves in competition - which gives you more time to get into a better mindset.

Fun fact: My PR squan average is 13.94, while my previous PB average was 15.37 and my global is 19 lol
