University of California Los Angeles Please Be Quiet 2017. It's an all blind events comp happening next weekend that Kevin is organizing. And we don't have many people signed up so it's not certain whether or not we'll legally be able to hold two rounds of 3bld :/

Another person that can compete at UCLA PBQ? ;)

He's signed up already (the only first-timer). I tried to teach more people but they were busy (which is true) and felt like it wouldn't be enough time to learn (which I disagree with).

We have 9 people signed up for 3BLD. And we should be getting at least 2 more as far as I am aware. I think we'll be fine for 2 rounds, but looks like 3 won't be happening. :( On the bright side, small competitions are always fun.
 
Wow, I wasn't trying for a PB but I just stoped doing lots of edges only and capping memo at 12 seconds.

PB Ao5 and Single today. Very happy with the sub-50 memo on the Single, as well. My corners memo is steadily sub-20, but I still do lots of repetition on Edges to have the audio loop well memorized.

Been improving quite rapidly. Actually today marks my 3rd week since I started doing full solves only, and dropped my average from sub-12 to sub-3 or so.

Nice! That's some insane improvement
 
Thanks! I should also mention I already knew 3BLD but never practiced as much as I should. I had some isolated comeback attempts but those were so frustrating I ended up planning a whole week of isolated practice sessions (to work on specific areas) and then dove head first into doing as many solves daily as I could.
 
Yay, finally I got a sub-40 3BLD mo3, and... this is even sub 38
37.46 mo3:
1. 42.21[11.25] B' D2 F R U2 B2 U R' D F U2 R' L2 D2 B2 R2 B2 L2 U2
2. 36.56[10.91] F2 U2 L' D2 R2 B2 R' B2 R2 B2 U2 F' L2 U F2 D L R2 U B2 F'
3. 33.61[10.13] R2 F' U2 L2 D2 F' L2 B' R2 F2 U R' B' D L U B' F2 U' B2
It seems that I scrambled 3rd time wrong, sorry. It was scrambled anyway.
I started practicing edges 3-style(my main problem), I guess that increased my speed. But I still have many pauses.
EDIT: A few days ago my mo3 PB was 42.xx, thats a good improvement.

Failed a 27 cube mbld pretty badly, then went back to doing 3bld and got two PBs right off the bat.
