Has this been asked before? Fastest 3x3 averages at first competition from fastest to slowest? (maybe top 10?) Thanks

edit: maybe whoever who's gonna work on this can do first round as well, thanks

Inspired by Joey and JFly being tied like this, I'd like to see a list of people with matching single and average in 3x3. And then for the other events too if the list isn't crazy long.

EDIT: Stefan answered this for 3x3 here: http://www.speedsolving.com/forum/s...s-my-soulmate.&p=719555&viewfull=1#post719555

Top 10
Fastest Average at First Comp
Can someone do that?

Yes I'd like that too please. Also, could someone do

4BLD:
Top 10 first success at first attempt ever? Not only first attempt, the first attempt has to be the first comp as well. Thanks in advance.

With 4BLD I'm assuming (it wouldn't make sense to not include it if the comp didn't even have 4BLD)

Nope. The first comp attended MUST have 4BLD.

 

[kinch2002]

Nope. The first comp attended MUST have 4BLD.

I'm not sure there will be 10 people who got a 4bld at their first comp...

Yay thank you! Could you add numbers to it down the side? Also make it autoupdate each comp

So, I did this mostly by hand in Excel. I didn't feel like figuring out a good query to generate this. Once I have a more automatic way of generating it, maybe I'll go back and make it better.

See http://www.worldcubeassociation.org/results/c.php?i=HefeiSpring2012&allResults=1#pyram
Second round results are way better than first round results.
So the question is:
for which 2 consecutive rounds of an event did the top 10 have the largest difference in average/best results in percentages?

If it's by percentages, I'd expect it to have occurred in Magic or Master Magic. I'm imagining a really crappy round 1 with a good round 2. I know I have seen the opposite happen pretty often.

Thanks for your work Tim!

I hadn't thought that I was so high ranked in there, especially #16 for Single! Cheers Rob!

 

[Sebastien]

Sorry for double posting, but I decided to make some analysis by comparing the single and average ranking of those being in both lists (which turned out to be 87 people) as I saw that my single ranking is better than my average ranking and that this wasn't the case for some examples I checked. Indeed I'm one of only 5 people. This is the result:

LIST HERE

Having a good single ranking compared to average seems to be people who compete a lot. Kind of makes sense I guess - your average isn't likely to improve much by increasing competitions, but you certainly will get more lucky singles.
People top of the second list will mostly be people without a good fmc and 3bld result, but without being so bad that they aren't top 100. That's my thought anyway, based on little evidence
