Round 18 Results

Thanks for everyone for competing! Results for round 18 are updated and can be found here (Google Sheets). Different events in different tabs. Please inform me if you find any mistakes.

I've been busy with a comp for the last days (not happy with my blind solves there at all).

I've considered to take a bit longer rounds (maybe 1.5 weeks), since there has been a very few competitors, would you mind much?


Round 19
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
 
I forgot to post my results for round 18, sorry. It was DNF (5/12) for 3BLD and 9:23 for MBLD. Not very good.

IMHO it's better to keep the comp weekly unless it's too much work for you. The summer has been a bit busy but I hope to resume competing weekly if I can, and it's nice to have a predictable weekly schedule.

Yeah, after all I guess it makes no harm to anyone if they don't have time to participate. Maybe it's best to do weekly.
 
3bld goal sub 1:50

4bld goal get a success (sub 20 preferred)
Bo5: 10:44.92
1. 10:44.92 :p
Realized I had traced wrong about 1:30 into wings so I had to scrap my memo. At least it wasn't a DNF this time :)
2. DNF(10:56.09)
Off by 3 wings :p lots of pauses trying to recall memo

5bld get a success (don't care about time)
Bo5: DNF
1.DNF(23:35.15)
Super safe memo but I slipped somewhere while doing midges and probably messed up execution somewhere else so lots of stuff was off. All but 3 + centers solved, all but 3 X centers solved, 3 corners solved, 4 midges solved, 8 wings solved. I need to practice 5bld more :p

Multibld goal 3+ Points
Bo3: 3 points
3/3 mbld in 8:52.31

Somewhat funny: I decided after some sloppy bld lately that I should go for 12/12.
So I went a little slower than usual, got 12/12 and a better avg than last week :)

5bld: 11:42.12, (dnf (11:36/7:06 mess), 11:42/7:08)

In a way I fulfilled all goals this week. And yes, I also want weekly just for the simple reason
that it is easy to remember that Fridays are the deadline :).

5bld get a success (don't care about time)
Bo5: DNS

Multibld goal 3+ Points
Bo3: 3/3 in 6:21.93
1. 4/9 in 46:53
2 cubes off by a twisted corner, 1 off by a few edges (made an E move by mistake), 1 off by a flipped edge and two twisted corners (traced wrong) and one I traced wrong for the last few edges on the M slice so only those edges were off. Overall though it feels nice to know I am capable of getting at least 9 cubes multi :)
2. 3/3 in 6:21.93
Decided to go for speed with a smaller amount and I feel like it went well :)
