He's sub 9.7 OH (He has a 9.63 average of 1000)

...right. That's what I saw also. I was just pointing out that his stated goal was to be sub-10 and he has certainly done that.

WOW, nobody noticed this, but according to the UWR page, Sebastian Weyer 16.13 4x4 single on April 12.

Yeah, I only realized it today when someone corrected me. I thought Max got the UWR today with his 16.88.

Feliks just got the 5x5 WR single (37.93) and 2x2 OCR avg (1.54).

1:53.56 Mo3 in 6x6 by Kevin Hays. His worse Mo3 since finals in US Nationals 2015.

EDIT: His 7x7 has equally horrible! What happened to him today?

 

[Competition Cuber]

Probably has something to do with skewb.

So focused on winning skewb, I bet your right

5.80 3x3 Avg100 UWR by Max Park... and a few hours later Feliks Zemdegs ties the UWR!

Also the 3x3 Avg12 UWR belongs to Feliks Zemdegs now (5.34, which is 0.02 faster than Max Park's previous UWR)

Hmm, so Feliks improved his average of 100 by 0.17 in one day?

Well, I kind of suspect that Feliks does not do long practice sessions of a single event as often as Max Park does. Hence his usually strong Avg5s or Avg12s, but comparatively weaker Avg50 or Avg100... until he decides to do a long session.

Also, at least for bigger cubes, I also suspect that Max's big averages (Avg1000 is obvious!) are often calculated over several practice sessions, while Feliks avoids doing that.

This is just my hypothesis based on watching their PBs evolution over many months.

At the moment I am hoping for a strong comeback of Feliks this early Summer (or early Winter in Australia) similar to what happened last year.

Keep in mind, Max will have many competition chances with the West Coast Cubing Tour (WCCT?)

sebastian weyer got a uwr 19.95 4x4 ao5

Wow! He is really killing 4x4 officially and unofficially, which is really impressive.

 

[Competition Cuber]

On Feliks' PB sheet, his 6x6 PB Mo3 is 1:20.93, but his PB ao5 is 1:20.21. lol

The mo3 could be higher or lower than the ao5. Nothing special here.
Example: 3 / 4 / 7 / 5 / 2
the ao5 is 4
the mo3's are 4.67, 5.33 and 4.67

Looks like Kevin has a secret 5x5 called "Everything Sucks" (lol)

 

[Gomorrite]

40.70 5x5 Avg5 UWR by Max Park, over a second improvement over his previous UWR (41.74).

We are getting closer to sub-40 averages, as well as sub-20 in 4x4.

On a different note, the main competition to keep an eye on this weekend is Qualifornia, with Max Park doing 6x6 and 7x7, as well as a bunch of top BLDers competing. Meanwhile Feliks Zemdegs will be competing in Australia.

 

[Burnsy101]

Its insane. For years the 5/20/40/1:20/2:00 barriers looked unbreakable, yet it feels like they might all go within the next 2 years

 

[Competition Cuber]

as well as sub-20 in 4x4.

Sabastian has an unofficial sub-20 ao5 on 4x4. It's on the UWR page.

Kian Mansour updated his PB spreadsheet with his OH times. His new Avg100 PB is now 1.17 seconds faster than Max Park's...
