Sorry about the frequent delays in results lately, everyone. The end of school is coming up and I'm just trying to power through, but I'll try to do better.

Also, I will basically not have access to Internet nearly all summer (give or take a few days), so if someone could take over this thread from the beginning of June to the first or second week of August, that would be greatly appreciated--if no one volunteers, then the race won't continue for those two months. Otherwise, a possibility could just be random people posting new scrambles whenever the round is supposed to end.

So if you're interested in running the thread for about two months, just send me a private message, or post here.

Thanks!

That was a little better. The third average was very nice - my best avg 10/12 ever, with 5 sub-6 solves!

I just got a Wit Two. I can't deny I absolutely hate the way it feels, but it is clearly faster than anything else I have (I was mainly using a LanLan). I guess I need to get used to it and sacrifice comfort for speed, but I wish there were a 2x2x2 that was this fast but felt nice. This thing feels like cheap junk to me (even though it works well).

Actually, if someone could take over this thread now, that would be nice, as I'm very busy since the end of school is approaching. I won't be able to take care of it in two weeks or so anyway. Thanks very much, and sorry for any inconvenience.
