Best Debut: GenTheThief
lol the only thing I did for the longest time was compete in race-to-sub-20.
My first post was a mistake too cause I didn't know that "round four hundred sixty three" in the post by Mike Hughey was outdated. I did solves for that round, and posted it, then sheepishly deleted it after I realized that it was the wrong round.

Also where is the best profile pic, and best signature award? I think those should be some aha
those are good Ideas I'll add them in. And as far as doubly asked questions go, I copy and pasted the categories list from last year so that part wasn't really my fault but I'm going to fix it. Since so many people have asked we'll extend the deadline by 2-weeks.

Alright guys, We added a few more categories so be sure to check them out. We also postponed the voting deadline.

The cubing community has been calling good people fake for years, maybe we should just accept if someone is better than us or improves faster. It's possible he's fake but I think it's reasonable to give benefit of the doubt when we're talking about how fast you can match the colors on a toy.

According to his numbers though he's nearly sub-10 and nearly world-class pyra, despite having been cubing for around or under a year. That's pretty impressive.

Dixon Fall 2016 was barely a month ago...is he supposed to have improved that much since then?

...as far as doubly asked questions go, I copy and pasted the categories list from last year so that part wasn't really my fault...

wut this is your thread you have to take some responsibility for checking what you're doing
