Wow I loved those scrambles. I average mid 4, I wasn't warmed up and got 2.87, 3.24, (1.99), (3.95), 3.14 = 3.08
I'm at home and not competing so I'm sure I would've done much worse in a competition
Here are reconstructions. It was super difficult and time consuming because I have black white blue clockwise on top and yellow bottom, so I can't match the scramble very well.
Note, I reconstructed the moves, not how you were holding it so what I write as R might have been U for you. All I can do is try to copy what case you end with and guess a bit. Also I'll write tips at end of solve.
Scramble one: R' B U B U B' R' L B' R' L
Top: U' R U' R' L U' L' R' L R U
Case: R L' R' L
Notes: if you predicted the end cased you could've done U' R U' R' L U' L' R' L R' L' R' L U, cancelling the end case into your alg to save 2 moves
15/13 moves.
Solve two: U' B' U' L R B R' U R' L' R' l r
Won't bother reconstructing yours due to screw ups. I did:
Top: [U] L R' L R U
Case: [R] R' L R L' u' l'
Notes: cancels to [U] L R' L [U] R L R U r' b'
9 moves.
Solve three: L R' U' L' B' R U L R L' U l b
Top: [R'] U R' D R' U R L R' L' U
Case: R L' R' L u' l'
Notes: You did the obvious one flip solution (16 moves). I did 3 moves to 2 flip which cancelled into AUF for 11 (super fast) moves. Unfortunate you didn't see my solution, you should've inspected for longer.
Solve four: L' U' B U R B R' U B U' B' u'
Top: [B'] R' U R D' R D' L' R' L R U' [L']
Case: R' L R L' U L' U' L r
Notes: 20 moves. I used Polish V for a 14 move solution.
Solve five: U R U B L R' U R U' B' R' u' r
Top: [L'] R' L' U' L' [U] R D R D R D
Case: [B' R'] R' L R L' U L' U' L u b'
Notes: I didn't see what you did when I tried it. I saw a faster one flip case than what you built and got an L3E skip. You had 20 moves my solution had 12. I did;
Top/skip: [U] U R' L' U' L U B' U R U' u l'
Conclusion, you should inspect for longer! You missed a couple of easy solutions and you messed up probably due to short inspection on solve two. Don't waste inspection time. I'm slower than you (I think?) but I can clearly see this is a big flaw. I saw before your 2nd solve you said "ready ready ready", inspected for about 5~ seconds before resetting the timer to solve. So one, don't rush it saying "ready ready ready", calm down a bit. And two, use more inspection time, because if you can do top with 5 seconds of inspection, use the rest to predict the cast for possible cancellations like I try to.
You had 15, 25+, 16, 20, 20
I had 14, 9, 11, 14, 12
Work on testing multiple solutions in your head in inspection to choose better starts. I have awful TPS, but I guess one of my strengths is inspection
