[Blindsighted]

Deadline- End of 2017
Globally Average Sub-40

 

[NewbieCuber]

I just hit my first sub 2 minute Average of 5. 1:54.32 This is using the beginner method. I'm still fumbling a lot and taking too long to build my first cross. But it's getting better.

Wow, Goal achieved in just 2 weeks after my first solve. My latest Average of 5 was 1:27.10 and that was with a cube which is significantly slower than my main cube.

New Goal. Start using F2L pair up and insertions (which will slow me down initially) and get my Ao5 time under 1:30 using that technique.

 

[applezfall]

Get an official sub 3 avg in 2x2
Get a sub 2 single in pyra and 2x2

Goals for Hillcrest Cubing 2017
Blue=Bonus goal

E: moar colour coding
Red=didn't complete goal
Orange=didn't complete goal but only kinda sadish
Light Green=didn't complete goal but still happyish
Blue=completed goal

Light Blue=happy event evaluation
Throw up green=meg event evaluation

3x3:
Sub-11 single - 10.45
Sub-13 average - 13.76 meh
No sup-15 - DNF and a 16
Round 2 - easy, 16th out of 30
Finals, sub-10 single - 15 out of 13 (sub-13 averages), aforementioned 10.45 (Did EOLine backwards, did Diag-L instead of No-swap-L, and got an N-perm instead of a U perm. Sub-10 single fail)
Okayish I guess

4x4:
lel - lol
lel - lol
sub-1 single - 1:01
sub-1:10 average - 1:06
don't forget parity, lel - 1/5 parities lol
Got there 50 minutes after 4x4 started, Slater still let me do my average. R/O Centers were amazing

5x5:
sub-1:55 single - 1:59
sub-2:00 average - 2:02
I didn't practice it anyway, still happy with my results

BLD:
Sub-3:30 single - 3:16
Sub-4:30 mean, if not then two successes - DNF(4:18), 3:16, DNF(4:38) = DNF(possible 4:04 mean)
Sub-4 mean - n/a
First solve=basically still scrambled, second solve 2 twisted corners + e3 cycle

OH:
Sub-15 single - 15.955
Sub-18 average - 18.97
No counting sup-20 - counting 20.2
Podium - 5th
2 good singles, 2 bad singles, 1 acceptable single

Megaminx:
Sub-1:00 single - 1:06.46 (lol beat dan cohen by .01)
Sub-1:05 average - 1:07
No sup-1:10 - 1:15
Top 5 - 3rd
practice a lot more hope enough people fail and podium??? - 3rd, because Blake didn't come so I only had to beat 1 person to get on the podium

Miscellaneous:
Re-learn my ZBLLs, use them confidently and accurately. Don't mess up recognition/alg association with similar cases - Re-learn't ZBLLs, used them confidently and (mostly) accurately. Got about 6-7 throughout 15 3x3 and OH solves. Messed up once. Did this case (F R U' R' U' R U2 R' U' R U' R' U' R U2 R' U' F') instead of this one (F R U' R' U R U R' U R U' R' F'). Resulting solution = U-> Tperm -> U
Arrive on time - looooool 80m later than planned. Missed a turn then had to wait through 6-car collision-traffic before being able to turn around
Hang out with friends - just judged all day, didn't know anyone who wasn't on staff
Be satisfied with my results - ehhh? *shrugs*
Win/podium enough events to cover my registration - idk if 3rd gets one of the cubicle gift cards. prob not
Sub-ray single without competing in 2x2 - if only

Wow, Goal achieved in just 2 weeks after my first solve. My latest Average of 5 was 1:27.10 and that was with a cube which is significantly slower than my main cube.

New Goal. Start using F2L pair up and insertions (which will slow me down initially) and get my Ao5 time under 1:30 using that technique.

5 weeks in:

Instead of focusing on F2L I've been working on 2 look OLL and 2 look PLL. Ao5 is now down to 1:25 with a new PB of 0:46 and several solves in the 1:05 to 1:10 range. I still have about 4 OLL and PLL algs to memorize. But when I get those I think I should be able to average under 1:05. Then the F2L work begins.

 

[AlphaSheep]

I have two consecutive comps coming up. I haven't had as much practice time as I would have liked, but I'm going to set some goals anyway.

• 3x3: Only sub 20 times. Sub 18 average would be nice. I was getting plenty at home a few months back but I think my times have slipped a little.
• 4x4: sub 1:20 single, sub 1:30 average. Not ambitious, but realistic. Get through the average without messing up.
• Mega: sub 2:30 single, sub 2:45 average. Realistic, I think. I've been practicing a lot and my time are dropping fast so I'm actually not sure what I average.
• 3BLD: PB would be great, but I'll settle for a success since I've barely practiced in over a year.
• Skewb: PB single and sub 7 average would be great, but again, I don't think I've put in enough practice.
• Pyraminx: sub 8 average. Haven't touched pyra since my last comp last year so I'll have to put in a few hundred solves next week to get back into it.

 

[Iggy]

Learn CSP
Deadline: worlds

yeah this didnt happen. oh well i'll just do my best at worlds

 

[Ghost Cuber]

Make Pyra finals at U.S. Nationals. It will be tough but possible if I do well in semis.

 

[michaelcmelton]

It's been a while since I've been at it. (~1 year) When I left, my PB was 24s. I want to get back down to that before the end of the year. I'm currently averaging sub-35.

 

[CrystallineCuber]

3x3: Sub 60 by Maryland 2017, Sub 70 by Severna Park Summer 2017 (If I go to either )
2x2: Competition ready by Maryland 2017

My 3x3 times have come down a lot lately, so I hope that's feasible. Getting a 2x2 speedcube would also be nice.

 

[Competition Cuber]

3x3: Sub 60 by Maryland 2017, Sub 70 by Severna Park Summer 2017 (If I go to either )
2x2: Competition ready by Maryland 2017

My 3x3 times have come down a lot lately, so I hope that's feasible. Getting a 2x2 speedcube would also be nice.

Ill see you there! (Maryland 2017, might go to Severna Park)

 

[CrystallineCuber]

Ill see you there! (Maryland 2017, might go to Severna Park)

Severna Park is a maybe for me too, trying to schedule the family vacation so... Maryland might be too far out to schedule properly but I'm trying XD

 

[virginia]

3x3: average sub 20 in exactally a month from today (Aug 7), also learn all plls by then, have a sub 15 pb

4x4: be able to get an average for my first comp( I just ordered my first 4x4 on lightake so I have to learn how to solve it too!)
Squan: sub 30 averages by first competition
Mega: average sub 2:00 by next month (aug 7th) (unrealistic but whatever, my pb is like 3:25 but I don't do it much at all)

Oh, also, here's a sneak peek at my current ability:

 

[AlphaSheep]

I have two consecutive comps coming up. I haven't had as much practice time as I would have liked, but I'm going to set some goals anyway.

Summary:

• 3x3: Only sub 20 times. Sub 18 average would be nice - Hahaha, no. Two horrible sup 20 averages
• 4x4: sub 1:20 single, sub 1:30 average. Not ambitious, but realistic. Get through the average without messing up - not just a sub 1:20 single but a pure sub 1:20 average with a 1:09
• Mega: sub 2:30 single, sub 2:45 average. Realistic, I think. I've been practicing a lot and my time are dropping fast so I'm actually not sure what I average - first solve, I beat my overall PB single. Two solves later, I beat it again. Average was 2:29
• 3BLD: PB would be great, but I'll settle for a success since I've barely practiced in over a year - first two solves were off by 3 edges, last solve was a success but I messed up memo and had to start again so it was far from a PB. People from work came to watch so I'm just glad I didn't embarrass myself.
• Skewb: PB single and sub 7 average would be great, but again, I don't think I've put in enough practice - locked up and missed PB single by 0.02. Averages were both bad.
• Pyraminx: sub 8 average. Haven't touched pyra since my last comp last year so I'll have to put in a few hundred solves next week to get back into it - not even sub 10. Embarrassing...

On the plus side, I finally managed to get my that sub 30 OH average that's eluded me for so long.
