Round 15 Results

Thanks for everyone for competing! Results for round 15 are updated and can be found here (Google Sheets). Different events in different tabs. Please inform me if you find any mistakes.

Yepyep, busy week again, trying to be on time in the future.


@Fábio De'Rose graduated from 3bld again!

Round 16
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.

4BLD & 5BLD
Compete 5 attempts, the best of them is your result for the round. Not necessary to use all of the attempts though.

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!

New round up every Friday. Good luck at blindsolving! :)
And again, full results can be found here

4bld goal get a success (sub 20 preferred)
Bo5: 10:12.87
1. DNF(11:53.33)
off by 3 wings but it was also my first time ever using a comm in a solve :)
2. DNF(8:52.32)
worked in another comm :) forgot to execute last wing pair and also twisted the last corner the wrong way
3. 10:12.87
eyyy pb :) could have been sub 10 had I not forgotten my last 2 wing pairs and stopped the timer properly.
4. DNF(8:18.35)
off by 4 wings (swapped two letter pairs)
5. DNF(7:36.06)
messed up center execution :p nice memo speed and accuracy though

5bld get a success (don't care about time)
Bo5: DNS
1.DNF(17:09.79)
Liking the speed. Off by 8 X centers, 5 + centers, 13 wings, and all but 1 corner. It looks like I didn't undo an R' somewhere but besides that I have no idea what I messed up on :p
2. DNF(24:12.50)
probably worst 5bld attempt so far. tons of pauses trying to recall memo. Midges were also terrible even though I did fine with them

Multibld goal 3+ Points

Multi: 8/11 in 44:17.15, DNS, DNS

Made some major changes to my memo/exec system, and am updating all my corner comms.
Seems ... "heavy"? It is a pain to change such things as you have to relearn.
If I should start over from where I was nine years ago (with bld cubing) I would definitely
do things different (with hindsight). But no thanks now :).

Good luck!

Yup, it's definitely a pain. But after I finally got my multi NR I had no more excuses not to get rid of OP corners and start using comms. And then I figured that if I'm going to slow down a bit anyway, might as well fix everything else. Also, talking to Ishaan is for some reason very motivating, and I did that a lot at NWC last weekend.

I definitely wish I had started differently seven years ago too.

Thanks!
