Guess I'll make goals for Atlantic Special 2015.
Clock: Sub-15 average, first place XD or at least 2nd place.
(Almost everyone around here is just getting into clock for the first time for this comp... including me)
3x3: at least 1 Sub-13 average and podium
3BLD: Sub-5 success, or at least a success.
3x3 Fewest Moves: Sub-35 single, Sub-42 average (Single might not happen but average is pretty achievable.) and win?
Multiblind: I really have no hope at all in this event. MAYBE I'll be able to pull off a 2/2 by this comp.

Goals for this school term (10 weeks, but busiest term of the year so yeah):
3x3: global sub-15, 14.5x ao100
2x2: global sub-3.5
4x4: sub-1
Megaminx: sub-2
Pyraminx: sub-4
Skewb: ~4.3 average
Others: learn full OLL and some CLL (2x2). Also win an event in the forum comp at least once.
Most just require practice so they should be manageable... I hope
3x3: global sub-15, 14.5x ao100
2x2: global sub-3.5
4x4: sub-1

A little off-topic, but I created a formula to determine approximately what place you will be in a competition. It works surprisingly well, but its accuracy goes down the farther from the overall average competitor you get (faster OR slower). Plugging in 47 competitors (because the compared competition had 94 in 3x3) and a 12.50 second average (which I sort of hope to get better than by my next competition, but I don't want to be too optimistic) you get:
c2/c1 * p
Where c2 is the number of competitors in the competition (47, note that I'm just guessing), c1 is the number in another competition (94), and p is the place you would have gotten at c1 with an average of 12.50 (6 in R1 + 5-6 in R2 + 8 in R3 / 3 = 6.5).
47/94 * 6 = 0.5 * 6.5 = 3.25
So, should I make it a goal to be top 3, if there are fewer than 50 competitors at my next competition?
Let's go with it. Goal added.
Edit: No, I'm not going to Atlanta Open. Don't ask. I am hopefully going to this if it is all figured out.

This is going to be very hard, but I have decided to learn full EG-2 for Skewb.
I will be using this: http://docs.google.com/document/u/1/d/1EzEkhAqpvXkPOYQOxrUhlSC6IsxyJ7Bmixa-lhwFxio/mobilebasic
I hope to finish by the end of the summer holidays (until September). I don't think anyone else has attempted this before and I hope to be the only person to know full EG-2.
Wish me luck!

Wow, good luck with that. Might be hard to practise before you finish learning all the cases...

Good luck! I might try if I had the time. Also, who made that doc?
EDIT: I wonder if TCLL for skewb might br useful...
Hssandwich

@TDM Thanks, I may have to exclusively practice Skewb for the next month or two but I am sure it will be worth it.
Thanks, it will take a long time since Skewb algs are so painful to learn. Idk who made the doc, but it is handy and provides info on recognition too. TCLL would be useful for Skewb as there are only 3 corner orientation cases so that means less cases.

Yes, but what if you get a case you don't know? Do you have a quick alg for swapping two corners on the D layer? It's not like Sarah's advanced where you could just go back to intermediate if there was a case you didn't know.
Hssandwich
Veteran
I would do 'intermediate'. So orient the top layer with Sarah's and solve the rest with an alg since I know all but one of those cases.
Hssandwich
Veteran
Wow! I didn't realise you made it, how much do you know?
Also, DiagCLL+U would be more efficient. I was thinking of learning an alg for every case beforehand, but for now I will have to stick with 'intermediate'.
