Forum Competition: Season One Ended.

[Mo_A2244]

Hello Everyone,

I have important news that I would like to highlight today.

Spoiler: Introduction

Me and @Zain_A24 , are starting a tournament on this forum consisting of two teams - Team "Critic" and Team "Mo"
in which you will be able to participate in beginning on Monday 1st June. Me and SpeedCubeCritic are also going to be
competing in this competition. However, we are looking for people who average around 25 - 30 seconds to give the competitors a fair
chance since this is what @Zain_A24 and I average around ourselves.

The tournament rules are along these lines if you want to participate:
- You will have to post an average each week by Sunday which will be collected into a leader board for each week.
- Along with this you will have to post your progression every week.
- A point system will also be put in place for the tournament as well.

The rest of the rules will be shown in the 1st week.

Along with this, SpeedCubeCritic and I will be competing against each other separately to see who can get to sub 10 first. He
will be posting his progress on a separate thread to me. You can find his progress here. As well as this, we will be working
on 300 Algs in 300 days and will be updating regularly there as well. In addition to this, I will be working on 300 Algs in 300 Days with @Zain_A24 as well, so make sure to keep updated on that.

The leaderboard is as shown below:

Along with the competition, I will be updating you every week on how I am doing in terms of times and how well I am improving. As well as this I will be doing the 300 Algorithms in 300 Days which I will be talking about every week when I update.
Remember, qualifying for the competition begins on Monday 1st June.

 

[JTM007]

When are the scrambles going to be posted?

 

[Mo_A2244]

Scrambles are posted now under the competition spoiler, Week 1. Good Luck. You have until Sunday to compete.

 

[Mo_A2244]

My times for the week:
1) 16.13
2) 17.39
3) 19.59
------------> (Good times)
4) 26.05
5) DNF (12.01)
------------> (Not so good times.)

Ao5 = 21.01.

My Week Progress:
At the start of the week I was averaging 20 - 25 seconds on 3x3, mainly due to the speed of my newly learnt PLL Algorithms, so I practised them, each algorithm down to muscle memory was what I was aiming for by the end of the week. I ended up achieving that in 3 days of hard work. By now, I had cut down 2 seconds or so from my times which I was happy about, considering I wanted Sub - 23 by the end of the week. However, it appeared I hadn't practised much regarding the information that @Zain_A24 was slightly quicker than me the following day when we compared our times. So, I decided to 'up my game' and practise more cross seeing as though I was constantly solving crosses in a lot more than 8 moves. I began by practising solving the cross intuitively, even though this was something that I already knew how to do, I soon realised it needed a lot more work for it to become sub 15 standard which is what I am aiming for.

By Sunday, I had everything practised before I submitted my results. However, as you may have noticed the nerves of the 1st week really got to me and SpeedCubeCritic as we both bottled the week's results with either a DNF or a... really.. bad... solve.

Aside from that sorry excuse for a solve, I am now officially sub 23 which I am very happy about.
Be sure to check out the thread The Leagues - All Speeds Welcome - Qualifying and Mo v Critic Team League - Week 1 for more info on @Zain_A24's solve... And of course his updates as well...but mainly his bad solve.The irony being I did worse than him in terms of bad solves.
So check him out.

Hello Everyone,

My 3rd Week Progress:
This week was the best week of this competition for me, and hopefully for other people too. Some people got Personal Bests, some got Personal Best Averages such as myself. This is an in-depth progress report about my progress through this week, this week being the best week I had.

To begin with, I would like to mention how @Username: Username: pushed me to learn the rest of PLL in one day, the rest of PLL being 5 or 6 algorithms, these being the G Perms, which I learnt last due to their difficulty and how 'annoying' they're to some people, including myself. Along with this, I am going to learn the N permutations last, again.. due to their difficulty. However, I had learnt 4 of the 5 or 6 algorithms that I needed to learn in one day. Unfortunately, that did not happen in one day, however, I am still close to learning full PLL and moving onto (finally) the OLL algorithms, some of which I already know.

In addition to this, I came across someone named @Zubin Park who told me our (me and @Zain_A24) reviews were good, which gave me the 'moral boost' that I needed to do my times the next day.

Fast forward to the next day, and I pick up my Meilong 3x3, and begin to do some times. The times were decent, good even as they reached sub 20 sometimes and sometimes sub 23.

However, when I thought to begin the times for the week, no way did I expect my best average of 5, a Personal Best of 14.49 and a potential weeks 1st place! I was amazed at the improvement that I had achieved, however, I am not yet fully sub 20, which hopefully I will achieve by the end of July!

Fast forward to today and Week 4 scrambles are up here.
I wonder what I will get???

Also, a great congratulations to @LiamSquirrell and @SpeedCuberSUB30 who both got their personal bests in competition:
LiamSquirell achieving an 11.54 time and SpeedCuberSUB30 getting a 10.37+ (a potential 8 second solve!).

Again, a big well done to everyone who has improved throughout this competition!

Keep Cubing!

Been wondering if this has ended on week 4 as the page has gone dark? (dead)

Fortunately, the competition is still running well, however, it is the last week of season 1. Season 1 ends Wednesday unless of course other people haven't submitted there results. Other than that, the competition is still running. Good Luck!

 

[Mo_A2244]

Today is the last day of the competition. We will be making a Season 2 of this soon so keep on the look out for that as well.
Hope everyone improved and had a good time!
See you in Season 2!

 

[LiamSquirrell]

Any news on the results?

 

[Mo_A2244]

Any news on the results?

We may have to end the season on a low note as nobody seems to be competing and me and @Zain_A24 seem to be caught up in reviews and The Cubing Z-League. However, we are trying our best to continue this for one last week so we can show results for this week.
Thanks for the patience.

Such a shame no one is competing anymore... Thought people would be really up for it considering the time category
