This is for Week 3. I'm trying to improve my F2B because I'm sub 12 at it. But in easy scrams I get Sub 20 singles. Btw I live in the Philippines that's why my time is different.

Okay, i am too excited not to post this! i've been cubing since 9am this morning non stop. Solving Sq 1, pyraminx, 2x2 and 3x3. Thought id smash out my week 3 scrambles because i was getting good times! little did i know, i'd pull off a new PB!!! To be fair, i did get a PLL skip, but oh my god, i was spinning in circles!!!

1. 18.41
2. 11.54 (PLL skip)
3. 18.57
4. 18.25
5. 21.26

Ao5: 18.41

Absolutely blown away with the results!!! I'd like to apologise to anyone who feels i am too quick for this group. I can promise each and every one of you, i was a sub 25 when this competition began. I have worked my ass off to get here and finally after 10 years of cubing i am getting roughly consistent sub 20's.

Thanks for pointing it out. I was just waiting on one more result but it seems like I will have to go ahead without it unfortunately. Should be up by tomorrow morning (in the UK). It is pretty close.

CRITIC VS MO

Huge congrats to LiamSquirrell for winning his second week in a row, collecting a max score of 36 points. SpeedCuberSUB30 has set the League Record Single of 15.52 and LiamSquirrell has set a new League Record Average of 18.86 (although these will soon change)

Good luck to everyone competing in Week 3, which we have until Sunday to compete in.

It seems most of us are posting times considerably faster than the original 25-30s range.

It seems most of us are posting times considerably faster than the original 25-30s range.

I agree, although this may come down to extensive practise and progression. Even though the target audience was set at 20 - 30 seconds, I certainly did not expect times to hit the levels that they have, with many of us producing singles in the 16s and 17s.

I would also recommend competing in The Leagues, which will separate cubers based on their qualifying times, that way cubers will be paired up with those of similar speeds, link can be found here:

The Cubing Z-League

Best of luck with future weeks, we have seen a lot of progression in many cubers, and despite not having a lower average this week, you have produced some very strong singles throughout the competition. It is still early days, and I will not be surprised if cubers in the 25 to 30 range produce sub 20 singles by the end.

 

[LiamSquirrell]

It seems most of us are posting times considerably faster than the original 25-30s range.

In the introduction, it begins by saying 25-30 then proceeds to say 23-30. Granted, i am somewhat sub 20, its because i have trained and practiced hard over the past few weeks. Same goes for others under the 23-25 second mark. We joined to show progress, and here we are progressing. If times aren't coming down, it shows we've made no progression

And since the averages are only of 5 each week, there will be some cubers that will have some very strong weeks, followed by some weaker averages. Every cuber will have their highs and lows, and hopefully this competition will encourage everyone to continue to practise and make marginal gains regardless of a leaderboard placement or a particularly strong result in one week.

Guys after practicing for 4-5 hours of cubing....I tried the week 3 scrambles.
I was getting consistently get 20 or below times when I started the scrambles.
I started..but I did not know that I would pull off a PB.
Ao5: 18.272
1. 20.757
2. 19.629
3. 10.368( 8.368+2) {P.B.} {I had a PLL skip but AUF which I did wrong}{Also the OLL was super easy.}
4. 16.556
5. 18.631

Congrats on the 10.368 solve. I've noticed you do seem to mess up on the faster times, but a potential 8 second solve for a somewhat sub-20 cuber is incredible. I would love to know more about how you managed to execute it, how you did the cross, order of F2L pairs etc. since it must be fresh in your memory at this point. Bearing in mind you were sub-30 just under a few months ago, that is a dramatic level of improvement.

Once again, congratulations on your new PB. I think we could all learn from the techniques you used in the solve, with an F2L of around 5 seconds.

Thanks. If you could give us a little more information before the end of the week that would be great. Didn't realise you had a YouTube channel, some more great content for me to watch.

 

[SpeedCuberSUB30]

I will be posting some interesting content in the near future.
Till now everything is just about beginner's method.
But I will post some good quality content in the near future.

Guys This is off-topic but today when I was going for a pb.
I got another 10 second solve.
The time was 10.957(Not my PB but close)
I practiced around 4 hours before getting this time.
The scramble was easy.(Pll skip and easy Oll)
And not even a +2.
