F2L Competition

[rubikmaster]

This will be an F2L forum competition on the 3x3 Rubik's cube.A new round will begin every Wednesday and Saturday at around 1:00 to 3:00 PM Eastern Time.So,each round will end when the new round begins.There will be 2 categories: One-handed and Two-handed solving.I will give 12 scrambles for each category so that you can compete in both categories at the same time if you want to.If you would like to try something a little different,you can join the Last Layer Competition.If you use Roux,you can join this F2B Competition and the LSE Competition.


Rules:
1.Everyone who knows F2L can join,no matter how fast they are.
2.You will use the scrambles I give you which will be WCA scrambles generated from Mark2.
3.You cannot redo any of the solves.If you get a pop or you mess something up finish the solve and stop the timer or just make it a DNF.
4.We will be using the average of 12 system.
5.We will be solving the first two layers of the cube(including the cross).
6.(You need to do this only if you're color neutral.)When you finish the F2L and stop the timer you need to finish the rest of the cube and then you can continue with the next scramble.
7.HAVE FUN!!! It's not about being the best or the worst or winning or losing.Just have fun.

Please join!

6.When you finish the F2L and stop the timer you don't need to solve the rest of the cube and you can just continue with the next scramble.

What if we're CN? Then that will affect the next scramble

What if we use Roux?

 

[rubikmaster]

Oh,yea,sorry 'bout that.It will be fixed right away.

4.We will not be using the average of 12 system,we will be using the 10 out of 12 avearage system which means you will do 12 solves and you're not going to count the best and the worst solve and then you will calculate the average of the 10 solves you have left.Don't worry,most timers probably have that option.

This is already how average of x is used in speedcubing.

This doesn't personally apply to me, but you can solve the F2L with other methods than Fridrich, right? Like you solve the F2L using Petrus, where you block build? I can see a lot of non-CFOP users asking about this :/

Yeah sure,you can use whatever method you wish,the goal is just to solve the F2L.

[rubikmaster]

Come on people,please join! Pleeeeease.

 

[rubikmaster]

What if we use Roux?

I'm sorry but then you can't compete.Anyone who uses a method that includes first solving the first two layers can compete.
BTW,I don't know if you really care,but you just wrote your 1000th post.

 

[JasonK]

What if we use Roux?

You could always do F2B, then DF+DB, but it would be a fairly pointless exercise...

Epic failed on the first solve, because I finished the LL too >_>

 

[Itchy Cacti]

I did my first solve, realized I was doing OLL at about the 30 second mark. I average 20-23.:fp Looks like I'm done solving for today.
