Colorado Qualifier 2018

[weatherman223]

I just realized that you are going for SR as well What are you averaging right now on Skewb?
I look forward to competing against you in a few weeks to really see who is the better skewber, (most likely you).

I plateaued in skewb and am no longer averaging good, I now average 6-7 ish?

Hopefully I can get good scrambles haha.

Oh, should I sign up for 6x6? You know, for the meme? I average like, 8 minutes and my 6x6 is really bad (wuhua v1)

I see, thank you for letting me know.

I do not see any reason for you to NOT sign up 6x6, even if you are a little slower. It is still fun to compete in events for fun of it. Also. until recently I was using the Wuhua v1 and if you set it up nicely it is still a pretty good cube, and I was able to average in the low 3:00's, as you can with a little practice (if you care to practice of course).

And there goes my Skewb podium, now 6 people that are sub 6 going, with @rubixboyz3 signing up. Dang it

Well that sound pessimistic to me. You can still podium in Skewb if you practice, you know, right? I have been practicing a bit lately and I went from around 6.0 to low 4/high 3 in a matter of 1 month, by just practicing and practicing... O and also practicing a bit. anyway, even if you do not podium I know that you will still do really good no matter if you podium or not.

Final day before the comp, just wanted to say good luck and can’t wait to meet you all up there!

Oh, and also, hoping that @cubeshepherd can get to one event away from bronze member!

Edit: this should clarify http://wcadb.net/awecc.php

Cool! If you do not mind me asking, are you local or are you traveling form out if state?

Sorry, I just read that you replied. I'm from Oklahoma

Good luck to you as well and I look forward to seeing you tomorrow.

Thank you for your wishes in me being one event away from Bronze member. I think that I will be 3-4 events away since I do not think that I will get a mean in 7x7 and 3x3 BLD, and I also do not know if I will even get a success in 4x4 and 5x5 BLD, especially since I have not been able to practice 5x5 BLD as much lately. 4x4 BLD I am really hoping to get a success in especially since I got a success at midnight last light even though I was really tired, but 5x5 BLD I do not think will happen.

I do hope though to be a Bronze member by the end of this year, but since not many competitions have FMC, 4x4 and 5x5 BLD and 6x6-7x7, I do not know if that will happen. Maybe I should organize a PBQ comp in Colorado with all those events.

Edit: Never mind about what I said about the 7x7 and 3x3 BLD mean. I forgot that the Bronze member is just a single in those events.

Thanks @weatherman223 I was really happy with the 5x5 BLD success and hope next time to get a 4x4 BLD success.

Great gob on qualifying for all 3 of the events that made it in.

@cubeshepherd
I was looking at your 5BLD success, saw your 3x3 results and remember that you were supposed to be fast. I checked your PB sheet, and nothing really seems to line up?
Even if you messed up a ton, since you average <11.0, you'd get like 14s.
Sorry if I sound accusatory, but I'm confused.

I watched him solve, he looked really shaky and tense. I think he was just nervous.

E: I should also mention he was staffing all day on both days so he might have been in a hurry to get back to helping.
