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
3x3x3: Sub-14 Average, sub-12 single
4x4x4: Sub-1:10 average, sub-1:05 single
Pyraminx: Sub-7.5 average, Sub-6 single
3BLD: Just get a success... preferably Sub-5.
3x3x3 OH: Sub-30 average, Sub-27 single
Skewb: Sub-15 average, sub-12 single (I still only use beginners)


Placing goals:
2x2x2: Podium, Top 1000 in the world maybe?
3x3x3: Top-5
4x4x4: Podium
Pyraminx: Podium, Top 1000 in the world
3BLD: Podium (I probably just need a success)
3x3x3 OH: Podium
Skewb: Top 2/3rds XD

I have a competition this weekend, so I may as well set some goals.

2x2: Finish the average without messing up 2 solves. Sub-8 average, sub-6 single.
3x3: sub-23 single, sub-27 average. Sub-25 average would be awesome, but I don't think it will happen.
4x4: Sub-2:00 single
6x6: Get a mean without popping. Sub-7:00 single.
OH: Sub-45 single, sub-50 average.
Pyraminx: Sub-15 average
Skewb: Podium finish, sub-9 average. I haven't practised skewb, so we'll see.
 
My goals have changed yet again:

Most important: 3BLD & 4BLD & 5BLD - be sub-1 for 3BLD; sub-5 for 4BLD; sub-9 for 5BLD - use full commutators

3x3: pretty boring, but just continue practising and get sub-18; learn full OLL; sub-10 cross & F2L Ao100

2x2: CLLs!! Get a 2x2 cube that I can actually go fast on without being afraid of it popping.

Big Cubes: meh...not interested.

Deadline: 5 months; see how I go.
 
Goals::
-Sub-30
-Sub-3 PLL Execution+Recognition
-Finish learning G perms
-Have a sub 40 average at US Nationals (Lowballing due to nerves at competition, and Nats being my first comp.)
-Learn Full OLL

Deadline:
July 23, 2016
 
Goals::
-Sub-30
-Have a sub 40 average at US Nationals (Lowballing due to nerves at competition, and Nats being my first comp.)

I think you should adjust your goal for NATs: don't lowball!
Before my first comp I was averaging 40, but ended up with a 38 avg. Yes, nerves add time, but when you're at a comp you're so in the zone that it compensates.

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!
