Racing to sub-20

[TemurAmir]

I'll join, PB avg of 5 is 24.xx, usually I get around 29-30... I'll probably be last, I don't have much time to cube (why am I wasting time on these forums instead of practicing?)...

Hey, just a suggestion for this, but:
- every day (or every few days), you should post 12 scrambles.
- people film average of 12 with those scrambles, but can of course do other solves for practice.
- first person to get the sub-20 avg12 wins

So you can run it more like an actual contest/tournament. That way you'd have rankings and everything, so people can get motivated by how close others have come to the barrier, and you have something to compare people with (rather than just letting people post averages with any scrambles). This wouldn't necessarily mean that the winner is the first person to do a sub-20 average of 12 in practice, but it could be more interesting anyway, and you'd have to be relatively consistent at sub-20ing to win.

Maybe the first person to get 3 sub-20 a12's on the scrambles given wins?

I like your idea of having daily scrambles.

Thanks for the cool idea. Where would I get the scrambles?

we could do it through the sunday contest and just put something in the comments saying that we are competing

 

[koreancuber]

Hmmm.. How about this? Since every day is very hard for some people to do, we could just do it every saturday and call it the Saturday Contest. Filming is prefered. You could link the video to this thread. The scrambles will be posted by my from Cubeexplorer (once I get the hang of it).

lol theres a button that says random scramble or something like that. Press that then press add and generate done.

 

[liljthedude]

I've gotten 3 sub-20 averages of 5's. 1 sub-20 average of 12. Recently I've started FULL color neutrality. Times have gone up. I would like to join if that's ok.

Got it!

So you average 20 and you want to join? If not, what is your average?

 

[Hyprul 9-ty2]

My regular OH average is 24-26
My PB is 21/22 for 5/12 respectively

How bout the WCA?

 

[Cride5]

I'll join. I'm probably already one of the closest to sub-20, but I'm still not yet. I've had about 3 sub-20 averages of 5, but only a 20.xx AO12, so I'll compete for a sub-20 average of 50. How about that?


EDIT: I should add that my everyday average is around 23.

I'm at about the same place. I've had countless sub-20 avgs of 5, best was sub-18, one sub-20 avg of 12 (in sig), but no sub-20 avgs of 50. My best avg of 50 is about 20.6x so really trying for that. My normal average is about 22.

I like qq's idea but perhaps it could be organised into 3 'leagues' - (1) avg of 5 (2) avg of 12 and (3) avg of 50. Then for each league maintain a list of people to break the barrier, with the list ordered by date achieved.

Thanks for the cool idea. Where would I get the scrambles?

There's a java-based random state scrambler here.

what about friday contest?
saturdays wont work well with me

I average around 21.

Hmm.. Let's just stick with the average of 12 (too hard to manage, since I'm providing the scrambles). I prefer saturdays, but let's have a vote. When do you guys want to have the 'competition'? (any days of the week). Also, let's get rid of the video thing (if you really want to, you can, but not necessary)
So for the overview:
We have the contestants (on main post), and I provide the scrambles. Every day we decide to do it, we post a post on this thread (with the scrambles I provide) on a Average of 10/12. We will rank the people (beginning from their first average of 12). Any timer use is available. I might be able to give a prize to the winner, but I'm not sure, because everyone started different (too many variables). If we do, could some people support me? Thanks. The prize will probably go to the most improved (we'll all vote on who it is). On the average, please include the scramble (that I provided), what cube you use and what method (and steps like 2 look-OLL and Full PLL). Well... is that everything?

Yeah Saturdays. Why not.

 

[Nero]

I'll do OH! I average around 24-26. I use an old type-A (Alpha). PB's of 12/5 are 23/22.

 

[cincyaviation]

i say no prize, and i vote that you submit scrambles on friday and make times due by the end of the weekend

I think that instead of everything being done on sat. How about scrambles are changed on saturday and the ranks are updated. and then you have a week to do the scramble and solves etc.

 

[koreancuber]

Friday it will be. The end time will be on Sunday. (please don't be mad if I don't post the scrambles. I will have a secondary person if I can't post it (does anyone want to do it?). The prizes are just a thought. If we can get some supporters, we could try it, but I'm not really sure. So.. the scrambles are post Friday and are due Sunday. I manage it (or my secondary) on monday and post it on that day. (on this thread) We got everything sorted out. Let's start this friday.

 

[Diniz]

Anyone want to race OH? i am at 33 avg12
Or race speed to 15 avg? Right now iam at 19avg
