I just started 4x4 seriously today.

Riley, Round 27, 2:13.08

2:04.03, 2.16.08, 2:10.57, 2:16.01, 2:02,12, 2:14.18, (2:01.64), 2:22.45, 2.20.79, (2:28.79), 2:23.87, 2:06.70

So terrible at the end, because I've never ever done more than 3 4x4 solves in a row. :p On the last solve, I tried my best to get a sub 2, lol. (I've never ever gotten a sub 2.)

EDIT: Don't want to spam so @Tall5001

I use reduction, but I just looked up the Yau method, and am watching monkeydude1313's tutorial and it looks pretty interesting (in a good way). Thanks.

What method do you use? If its not Yau try it you will get better so much faster!

Hey what would you guys think of this being Bi weekly not just weekly. I love practicing 4x4 and need more motivation to keep it up. This would help. What do you think Selkie?

Heh, I am quite happy to go to bi-weekly. I just wonder how well it will be received for those with slightly less time on their hands.

I will start posting intermediate scrambles on Fridays, as well as Tuesdays, and see what the take up is like. Results will still be posted weekly for the time being for both weeks rounds.

My apologies for not implementing or posting my proposed changes to date. Work has been hectic but with a weeks incoming leave I will get this done this week.

Bi-weekly! YES
and make the rules "get 3 subxxx averages without any non subxxx averages to graduate". So if you do round99, round100 and round103 with good results and don't have any result for round101 and round102 you will still graduate.
 
Round 27 = 1:13.97
1:05.75 1:09.94 1:13.11 1:04.03 1:18.88 1:21.61 1:17.72 1:08.96 1:19.09 1:16.72 1:13.33 1:16.18
Quite a good average for me :) Centers were mostly really nice !

And I'd also love to have the race bi-weekly :D

Why is yau so good? I don't get it please explain
Click to expand...

I guess the main advantages are:-

1. Easier pairing of 1st three edges since you do not have to worry about messing up centres because only 2 centres solved at this stage
2. Easier edge pairing of rest of edges since all unsolved are in U layer or in F2L slots, none in D layer
3. You skip the cross stage since this is solved earlier. Especially valuable as the the cross is done without inspection

I may have missed a few. I switched to Yau a few weeks ago and I have to say I am absolutely loving it. Got a 1:35.xx Ao5 yesterday :)




Also given the general approval of bi weekly we will start that with immediate effect. I hope Tuesday/Friday seems OK for all.

Good suggestion. In fact for rules I was going to quite closely follow Mike's 3x3 20 race rules which seem very sensible. The only alteration being the banded goal times of 2:00, 1:30 and 1:00.
