I've just hit 50 4BLD attempts since my first solve. My success rate is a rather appalling 8%. I think I need to change how I practice. My memo has been getting worse recently though that could be illness.

Nice one! 1:46.45 (59.44) success for me. That would be PB.Fairly ridiculous 3bld scramble last night. It was generated by csTimer in WCA 3bld mode, it just didn't add any wide turns at the end of this one. As for me... flipped an edge

I expect that's true. Its school holidays next week so I won't get my lunchtime practice anyway. Maybe I could work on my letter pair list and do some sighted centre execution practice if I get a minute here and there.Maybe you need a rest, Mark?
Some really easy edge comms here but I made a bit of a hash of them. Got a 1:27 but should have been much quicker.Fairly ridiculous 3bld scramble last night. It was generated by csTimer in WCA 3bld mode, it just didn't add any wide turns at the end of this one. As for me... flipped an edge

Also got a 17.59 3x3 solve with a PLL skip at the coffee shop, that's my 3rd best single ever.
I turned 39 today. Despite it being just another day, these numbers are starting to make me feel old. I still cube
It's great that you are getting to compete. Good luck tomorrow.Finally got myself dragged to a comp, attending the Finnish Open this weekend.
Good news is that the first cube I ever solved in a competition was a successful blind solve. Bad news is that it was the first cube in my 1/3 mbld attempt, which was a dnf. Second mbld attempt also 1/3. In second attempt one cube was off by only one cycle and a +2. I haven't seen the results yet, but heard someone say that nobody got 3rd price, 2/3 would have been good enough for podium.
3bld was a disaster. 3 straight DNFs, all execution mistakes. First attempt was ok time, 2:04, both next solves over 4 minutes as I made mistakes during memo and had to redo parts. At home my success rate this year is barely over 25%, so couldn't hope for much more than 2 correct in a total of 9 attempted cubes.. I didn't see the time for my first mbld attempt, but the second was 18 minutes. Could have played it safer and taken a lot more time.
Also did 5x5 today. Cutoff was 2:45, I knew I wouldn't make it. PB at home is maybe 3:30. Don't remember, really never practice this event. Only relearned the parity alg earlier this week for the comp. Got one sub 3:40 in my two attempts and I was happy with that.
Tomorrow 2x2, 3x3 and 4x4. For 2x2 I just relearned Ortega. I'm happy if I get a sub-10. I also relearned 4x4 parity earlier this week. Cutoff is 1:50. I just did a 1:55 Ao25, best Ao12 was 1:51 and best single 1:33. With a good solve the cutoff is no problem, but I need some luck there.
3x3 I'll be very happy even with a sub-20 single. I noticed at the venue that my fingers and brain don't work like they do at home. I've actually never really solved a cube with many people present, nor in a noisy environment. It'll be interesting to see how that affects my 3x3.
Excellent 3BLD result. Well done.Hey all. Decent day at comp so far. Got a 16.08 ave in 3x3 and a 14.47 single which was unexpected.
3:28.xy success in bld.
Cheers!

Just finished my multi attempt. 5/8 in 57 min.
I'm happy and sad at the same time lol
Anything over ao12, you're supposed to chop off bottom 5% and top 5%.
