Round 12

MBLD
Goal: sup/sub NR (17pts in 1:00)
1. 11/17 1:01:22 // Didn't expect so many tiny mistakes (2 cubes had one twisted corner, 2 cubes one flipped edge)

 

[Fábio De'Rose]

Done with MBLD for this week's round, and got 8/8 in 52:38.60 [40:58.92]

Round 12

I'm back after a couple of weeks off for Worlds and family stuff. If round 12 is still open late on Friday I will try to add 3BLD.

4BLD goal 5:30
5:27.59, 4xDNS - phew!

5BLD goal 15:00
13:26, 4xDNS - lucky on the big BLD this week

MBLD goal 4/4 in 10:00
10:44, 9:09, 10:19 = best 9:09

For small MBLD attempts like this, I'd like to do 5 attempts per week. It's comparable in size to big BLD so should be same number of attempts.

 

[T1_M0]

Multi: 8/11 in 30:18.67
1. 5/11 in 31:10 [20:02/11:07]
2. 8/11 in 20:18 [19:57/10:21]
Possibly the most depressing multi attempts I've ever done. Memo shouldn't be more than 18, and last week I had a 10/11 in 25:49 [16:07/9:41] ...

Big BLD later if I have time.

I guess there wasn't a 20-second execution. 30:18?

Round 12 Results

Thanks for everyone for competing! Results for round 12 are updated and can be found here (Google Sheets). Different events in different tabs. Please inform me if you find any mistakes.

Changed MBLD format to best of 3.

@mark49152 graduated from 4BLD this week, good job!

Round 13
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 don't however 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. The basic rule now is: get your goal once and you've graduated. It's easy to add a cube or try to get faster at the current amount of them. Of course you can specify if you still wish to try and get the goal for multiple weeks in a row; you decide it!

[Keroma12]

I guess there wasn't a 20-second execution. 30:18?

Yes, it should be 30:18, as listed just above. Sorry.

Edit: Can we make Multi be best of 3? That's usually the official format, and the other events in this thread have at least as many solves as allowed officially.

I've thought so too, and yeah, I think there's no problem (why should I limit the attempts to two?). We'll take best of 3.

(It seems while 4bld and 5bld almost always have bo3, multi has all bo1, bo2 and bo3 comps. I still think bo1 is the most common one, but clearly most of you have practised multi a lot more than I have (or done small and fast attempts) so 3 attempts go easily.)

I don't see any of my results from round 12?

I did add them, wait a while and I think you'll see them. Someone else was having the same problem a few rounds back, but everyone else did see them. You don't see anyone's r12 results?

I still don't see updates if I click the link in the post. Instead I have to start the Google Drive app and open it from there.

Regarding my results, I wasn't clear, but my goal for MBLD is 4/4 sub-10 for 3 weeks in a row. So I haven't graduated yet.

Spoiler: 4bld solves

1. DNF(11:10.13)
Terrible memo. I realized I had been tracing wrong so I had to redo about 3/4 of wings memo I am getting a lot faster though seeing how this solve even with a lot of mistakes was 11 minutes. Sub 10 is well within reach
2. DNF(8:02.65)
Pretty nice speedwise. I thought I had it but alas my execution has failed me again 100% memo. Triple parity as well (well centers isn't really parity so double I guess) Aiming for a sub 10 at NW champs!
3. DNF(9:28.30)
Off by 4 wings and 2 centers
4. DNF(8:50.65)
off by 8 wings,4 centers and 4 cornerse. Not quite sure what I messed up on.

5bld get a success (anywhere from 50 minutes to 1 hour is acceptable)

Spoiler: 5bld solves

1. DNF(19:24.21) 100% memo (checked)
TFW you see your centers in the wrong orientation and you know dun messed up Nice speed though. Hopefully a success this week!
2. 23:43.20 The "YESSSSS!" was loud so happy for this

Multibld goal 3+ Points

(11:21, 11:52, 14:59, 15:03, 12:33) nice times, the last was best with 3 corners off.

Round 13

5BLD goal 15:00
DNF, 12:52, 3xDNS

The first DNF was because I exchanged entire X and T centres memo

MBLD goal 4/4 sub 10:00 for 3 weeks
9:04, 8:41, 3xDNF

The 8:41 PB was followed by a shocking 15 minute 1/4

 

[T1_M0]

3BLD
Race to sub-1:10

1:10.55, (1:25.30), (DNF), 1:20.87, 1:12.59, 1:02.89, 57.48 PB, 1:05.83, (2:09.08), (1:27.73), (DNF), (DNF) = 1:08.37

PB single, mo3 and ao5. Nice.

4BLD
Race to sub-6:30 (new goal)

DNF (6:26) failed a corner comm
DNF (6:45) failed the same corner comm than before
DNF (6:33) 4 wings (easiest centers ever)
6:03.04 [2:50] yeess no cycle breaks, no parity

Spoiler: video

My previous pb was 6:50, I've clearly improved a lot. I'm happy with my memo, but the execution is slow. Center comms are on the list next, U2 starts to get annoying.

MBLD
Goal: sup/sub NR (17pts in 1:00)

12/19 in 1:14:37

I was clearly too tired as it was late and I couldn't get anything to stay in my mind. I think I should continue pushing 19-cube attempts though.

 

[Keroma12]

Multi: 8/11 in 24:14.43
1. 8/11 in 27:32 [17:19/9:43]
2. 5/11 in 25:32 [16:25/9:07] - so bad...
3. 8/11 in 24:14 [15:35/8:38] - great time

4BLD: 5:18.52
1. DNF(6:11) [2:08/4:02] - long pause in recall, forgot some wings/centers
2. 5:18 [2:16/3:02]
3. DNF(4:03) [1:57/2:05] - missed a U because I did a U2 right before it (4 corners, 8 wings), first sub-2 memo
4. DNF(4:56) [2:49/2:07] - center memo was a mess
5. DNF(5:08) [2:28/2:40] - missing slice somewhere, plus 2 additional centers
no review

5BLD: 14:46.84 [9:02] Thought I messed the execution up a couple of times, pleasantly surprised to find it solved.
2) dnf (13:33/9:19), 3) dnf (10:30/5:57) so close!!!! I slipped 3 comms from the end and did R2 instead of R. Would have been super PB!
4BLD: 7:41.87 only 1/5

Lost my streak And ironically I did practice almost every day, lol.
