    That can be one of cons... while sub-forum might make easy to find the focus / history of the topic. I'm ok either way, btw.

    It can be a good idea. (Is this a poll?)

    I have a feeling that we may want to raise the bar and move the senior cut-off age to 50 soon, and again to 60 in ten years, just to be more exclusive ;-) Joke aside, many cubers in their 20s,30s say that they feel old competing with 10s + most cubers become less active during or after...

    [Disqualified WR] Jeff Park BLD 17.35 insanely BLD round

    Just to correct fact & for historical accuracy, we realized there was the logo right after the attempt not before. Then immediately reported to the delegate. Whatever you heard, it's a made up story by somebody not responsible.

    Congrats! Also envy you guys competing at real comps! I wasted several (total 3?) PLL skips in comm - all of them were garbage solves anyway. But my only OLL skip was really good, my current official PB single of 16.84.

    I guess what @StanMan is referring to is solving using entirely CFOP blindfolded. It is not just eidetic memory but more about the interaction of your move & outcome, so, not impossible but it will take much longer. I know there are several folks who did entirely using CFOP but times were more...

    [WR] Martin Vædele Egdal - 4.59 Square-1 Single

    Hi @Mike Hughey In this particular case, I don't think organizers had any other options but to split into groups. They have to follow COVID rule which states 1 station per table and fixed sitting environment. Unless you have 17 separate tables and 17 judges + runners + scramblers, you can't run...

    Welcome! The best way is to send your BOD to Michael to confirm you're listed as a senior even though I know Michael has list of senior "candidates" who will turn 40 soon.

    I'm with Mike, it happens a lot making trace errors. I do even these days - ended up with flipped edges and twisted corners just because I traced wrong. For commutators, I found it easier to learn with 4x4x4 Center since everything is really clear, you can see the changes without interruption...

    Thanks! I used csTimer and made charts with R. CSTimer added time stamp from October 2018? (or around that time). Before, it was purely data but now you can add time trend. The overall export doesn't seem to include timestamp but individual session export does.

    There was a 100 solves/day for 10 days challenge in our senior Facebook group. I've finished with 3BLD - posting summary of results here. 1) 3x3x3 could have been rather easier but 3BLD is a big challenge in terms of dedicated times and mental readiness. I'm averaging mid 50s - it takes about...

    Glad to see you back! Looks like everybody is switching to UF buffer - I tried last year but kinda gave up, sticked to DF. (Mostly due to my laziness and too many competitions vs not much time to practice) 1. If you're using advanced M2 for now, switching corner to 3 style will give you the...

    Exported all csTimer 3BLD records to a spreadsheet, just for fun. My goal of 2019 was becoming sub-1, I'm kinda border line but can still say, yes, I achieved my goal around Nov-ish. Since I started averaging 90s-ish toward the end of 2018, I made ~30s improvement over the course of 1 year...

    How fast are the over 40's in competitions?

    I tested with multiple devices and browsers and it happens only iPhone Chrome. But as I wrote, the symptoms are not identical (similar though) - mine stays with the new selection (after the 2nd click).

    How fast are the over 40's in competitions?

    It's not necessarily 3x3, whatever link you started - I copied the link of set as 3x3x3 OneHanded, it goes back to OH when I first select a new event but it becomes ok after the 2nd selection.
