So... I gotta go on LOA for a few days. I've been hella busy these past few days, & it's been hard to keep up with everything.
Here are Round 2's scrambles:
Every competitor should submit. Nobody is being eliminated from this competition.
BTW, same rules as round 1. You should have until...
Oops... wasn't able to come online for the past few days. The schedule will be pushed back a few days (to whenever I have my days off).
Here are the results:

If you can't submit for R1, don't worry too much...
My bad for not posting the scrambles on time, I had a lot of stuff to do these past few days.
QUICK TIP: after performing the scramble, the cross color will always be at the bottom. If you prefer to do white cross, do a z2 rotation before the scramble.
The mystery event is now revealed...
Oops, almost forgot about this. There's still two more days to register before I post the scrambles on Saturday.

I remember all the hype about Du Yusheng 杜宇生's 3.47, right when I started cubing... I don't believe anybody could've even dreamt about matching the time themselves, let alone by average.
I also remember everyone saying that WR singles are luck-based and WR averages are purely based on skill...
Videos aren't required for the comp, but it would help prevent cheating from competitors.
Also, just in case anyone doesn't know how to send them, try using Google Drive or unlisted YouTube videos.
You can compete in more than one event/division if you wish.
Also, I'll be participating for comparison purposes, but my results will not be included in the official rankings.
Anyway, here is the registration list...

Really cool solution. But I can do ya two better:

U2 R U' R' U R U' R' // joining 4th pair
U' R U R' U' R U' R' U2 // forced LL skip
Downsolved to 2.525
Currently, the Wow 😲 reaction is used in both positive and negative situations, making it more neutral than the other reactions. Makes sense that it doesn't currently give RS.
So, I'll suggest adding a Shocked 😧 reaction, mainly used for surprising but more negative/unfortunate situations. Then...
