if you are talking about Lawrence spring (which the events sound like you are) there is no tooth fairy! Well I meant to say 4x4 but... Tooth fairy it is!

Nope, talking about the Tuks Open on the opposite side of the planet

Might as well set some goals for the Atlantic Open 2015 comp that's only about 1 and a half weeks away:

2x2x2: Sub-4.5 average, sub-3 single. No (5.02)/No (4.34)
3x3x3: Sub-14 Average, sub-12 single. Yes (13.09) No (12.05)
4x4x4: Sub-1:10 average, sub-1:05 single. Yes (1:01.55) Yes (48.52 (wat?!?!?))
Pyraminx: Sub-7.5 average, Sub-6 single. Yes (7.46) No (7.00)
3BLD: Just get a success... preferably Sub-5. Nope... all DNF got nervous.
3x3x3 OH: Sub-30 average, Sub-27 single. Yes (26.43), Yes (24.97)
Skewb: Sub-15 average, sub-12 single (I still only use beginners) No (18.69 (What was that?)) No (12.86)


Placing goals:
2x2x2: Podium, Top 1000 in the world maybe? Yes (3rd place), No (Idk yet)
3x3x3: Top-5 Yes (2nd place!)
4x4x4: Podium. Yes (I won, wat?!)
Pyraminx: Podium, Top 1000 in the world No(Was 2nd in first round but dropped to 5th), Yes! (Idk the exact placing
3BLD: Podium (I probably just need a success) Yes (Only 3 competitors tried XD XD)
3x3x3 OH: Podium. Yes (1st Place )
Skewb: Top 2/3rds XD Yes (8th/12th, Lol

That 4x4 single tho... 10 seconds better than my at home PB. Average is PB too. Which is crazy because I practice 4x4 quite a bit.

You can do it! Keep practicing!

 

[NewCuber000]

I'm going to Atlantic Special 2015 on July 4th, so here are my goals (The events are weird and events I don't often practice so this is weird .

3x3x3: Sub-12 average, Sub-11 single.
3x3x3 Blindfolded: Actually get a success... preferably Sub-3 minutes by then?
Fewest Moves: Sub-35 single, and if more attempts Sub-40 average
Clock: Actually get one, and maybe Sub-15 or something by then?
MultiBlind: This is a hard one because I've never tried it before but maybe a successful 2/2 or something.


Placing goals:
3x3x3: Podium
3x3x3 Blindfolded: Podium
3x3x3 Fewest moves: 1st place, maybe?
Clock: Podium (It's hard to gauge this one because clock competitions in Canada are raaarree.)
3x3x3 MultiBlind: I'll probably podium no matter how bad I do since hardly anyone around here knows MultiBlind, including me atm

Heise is REALLY easy too. if you're having trouble, you can memorize a few simplified speed heise algs or tripod supplement algs. it's not hard to sub-20 without these, but they can really help if you find it hard.

and you should be able to get Snyder without a problem. no need to learn full fish and chips. you can do half of fish during LPELL if you orient edges during F2L. Then just 2-step the L4C.

Thanks. It might take some time to learn all those cases though; if I do Heise, I'll probably end up doing normal Heise and getting lucky.
