4x4 Race Thread (45s/1m/1m30s/2m)

I have received a PM from Cyrus saying he is happy for me to take over so I hope no one is offended if I do so, if you would prefer me not to please feel free to let me know. Many thanks to Arnaud for keeping the schedule of rounds alive.

Arnaud has posted scrambles for Rounds 23 and 24 so in keeping with the history of the thread I will post results on Tuesday 9th August for both those rounds, we can then revert to the original weekly schedule. The results and scrambles will be posted at approximately 10pm GMT each Tuesday.

If anyone would like to see any change to the historic schedule or frequency please speak up :)

EDIT: One thought I had was to introduce different goal banding, say 2m, 1m30 and 1m. It certainly may attract more competitors who might otherwise not want to join until they were closer to the 1 minute barrier. Once graduated from one banding you could choose to compete in the next. Your thoughts on this would be appreciated.

This sounds pretty cool. Kind of like the 6x6 Race Thread.

Indeed so. I have personally found it very useful having this banding on 3x3 with the separate race threads but there would not be the call for this so much on bigger cubes and I have to confess I shamelessly copied the idea from the 6x6 race. I must join the 6x6 thread, whilst I was initially happy I was 17th fastest at 6x6 in UK, that happiness was short lived when I realised only 17 had official results!! :)

As far as where participants start well this is completely up to you. For the results on Tuesday I will automatically band you according to your results for this week. Those sup 2m will be banding in the 2min race, those with an average of say 1:45 will be banded in the 1:30 race etc. If anyone would like to be placed in a different banding to the one they are automatically assigned please let me know.

Apologies, I did not see your post when I offered to take over and have only just noticed it now. Seeing as though you asked first feel free to run the thread if you wish.

I blame it on old eyes, no wonder my lookahead is shocking some times :)

No time to read all the "taking over the thread" topics now, will do that soon and take appropiate actions if needed.

Comment: Lots of very good solves that were ruined by double parity and bad PLL's. Very happy with the times. This was after about 20 solves on a new Shengshou. Best Average 3/5: 1:12.44 (1:08.71 1:24.66 1:10.11 1:12.94 1:14.27)

I think some people did not realise there were 2 weeks of scrambles in Arnaud's last post (weeks 23 and 24). If you did not mark a specific week I took the result as being week 23. Feel free to post late and I will endeavor to back edit the results. Same goes for me posting prior to my ETA of 10pm GMT, also feel free post late results.

I am still in the process of creating a spreadsheet to record all results from the beginning of the thread and I will make this available on Google Docs when complete.

I am still eager to introduce the multiple time goals but will defer this until I have more time, still busy catching up on the thread. Sorry chikato_tan, had not heard from you and with results/scrambles due today I decided to proceed, hope you do not mind. Scrambles should be importable too.

Good luck in round 25 everyone :)
