better or worse in competition?

[Alex DiTuro]

I suck at competitions. I was averaging about 27-28 when I went to the Captain Cove and got a 34

I do a lot worse during my official solves,
but I tend to do better when racing other cubers for fun during competitions rather than just doing averages at home

At my first competition, Lyon Open 2007, I did a lot worse than I was at home (my at-home avg was 16-17, my official avg 19.99/19.47)

But at my second competition, Italian Open 2008, I did really well. My 3x3 avgs were normal or even a bit better than average averages for me at that time (except for the finals, but that's a different story ).
My 4x4 times were as at home and my 5x5 times were a bit better than at home. I even set up my single PB for 5x5.

My Magic times were a bit worse than at home (ok, I hadn't practised for a long time), and my OH times were good.

The Megaminx time was very good for me

Just the 2x2 was not that good, but still ok.

So my overall performance was normal.

I am definitely better in Competition. Better concentration i think.
Just with 2x2 and Blind i did not get really satisfied with my official results.
Recently i blasted my old 5x5 PB by ~20s twice on Dutch Masters

I had a dilemma between better or normal, so I voted for better, because I take competition solves ALOT more serious then practise solves, so I perform mostly better or normal (normal due to competition pressure).
I broke a lot of my PB's in competitions.

I do about the same. Usually, I would be a little nervous. But to me, the competition scrambles are really easy.

Only some of the scrambles are easy, I find that they are either really hard or really easy, never inbetween (I'm referring to the cross moves)
