Round 25 Results

Let's get baxk

Results for round 25 are updated and can be found here (Google Sheets). Different events in different tabs. Please inform me if you find any mistakes.

I'm going to rearrange the list and probably remove those who haven't competed in 10 rounds.

Round 26
Racing to sub-x (and other goals for multi) in all the official blindfolded events. Set the goal, and keep it up for three weeks in a row - or 4 weeks out of 5 - in order to graduate and set a new goal. If you take a hiatus, you won't lose your streak. If you are first time racing, or changed your method, please include it to your post as well (no need for that in MBLD though).

3BLD
Compete an average of 12, like usual. The six worst attempts will be eliminated and the mean of the remaining six is your result for the week. At maximum, you can get 6 DNF:s without losing your average.

MBLD
Generate your own scrambles. You can do three attempts per week if you wish to, the best one is count as your result. 1 hour time limit.

You may set whatever goal you feel like, because multi can get so long-term. You can race to a tough goal, or try to keep up your current level. You can also set time goals if you wish to; you decide it!

MBLD Goal: 2/2 in Sub 10:00
Bo3: 1/2 in 8:42.50

Spoiler: Times

Attempt 1: 1/2 in 8:42.50. 5:05.40 memo/3:37.10 execution. DNF'd the first cube surprisingly - off by 5 corners, so I must have done the wrong 3-cycle by accident. Decent effort overall.

We're baxk bois.

Post 3BLD Addendum: Comfortably hit my goal this week by over 20 seconds - guess from here improvement is coming fairly rapidly. The main thing that sucks for me right now is my execution (mean memo time is 1:23.22, mean exec is 1:45.46), but it should be a lot smoother once my 3-cycles become more automatic.

Spoiler: Comments / Rage

Attempt 1: Centers are the usual nightmare. Took me ages to trace them.

And apparently I mis-tracsx a few edges which created an opposite PLL Parity... On the FL and FR edges. Huh.

Attempt 2: Messed up the execution of Wings. Frustrating, to say the very least as memo was rather solid. Centers, well, those will eventually get good. Their execution is the reason why we can't have nice things.

Attempt 3: Off by pretty much all Centers. I hate them so much

Attempt 4: Went full blown YOLO, and it paid off! Went suuuper safe on Centers. Edges were not too bad, and Corners were kinda awkward.

Attempt 5: Off by everything. Undid a couple slice moves in the wrong directions during Centers and it was all downhill from there.

Oh, this occurred to me! @T1_M0,

At first I assumed getting s successful solve would take me much longer, hence my initial goal being just not DNFing at all. Then I thought I'd set it to sub 15 but this has proven to be a surprisingly low barrier to beat.

That being said, do you suggest I keep my current goal at sub-10 for the coming weeks? That's close to my current global, but if I graduate too quickly (If I don't DNF all solves of a round, that should be easy) I'll make sure to set a stricter one to follow up with.
