clock grind has begun 👿
 
Leersum algs was really fun, even tough i got to go one day.
so first i had megaminx, which i DNFed because i forgor the alg to permutate the edge with 2look PLL
2x2 was also ok and i didnt really care about it, because i main clock now.
in clock, i first got a 6 second pr (6.99 DNF comeback 👿 ) and then i got into finals. Someone i know from the dutch speedcubing discord server got japanese nr and then in finals I placed 7th and the person i knew got japanese nr avg. I am now 10th in the netherlands foravg and 11th for single. (or 10th for single and 11th for avg idk man)

and before the FMC attempt (i couldnt do it so i reported it to the delegate) the one and only guus razoux schultz (WC1982 runner up) actually came and told us some really interesting history. and if you have time i would definitely read this interview because its pretty interesting,

What the actual fk, i didnt expect this (defo sub nr/old wr)

Im doing great on clock, i hope to beat the flip nr, im probably nr2 with flip.

edit: forgot to mention a clock comp, Arnhem Open A in the same venue as Dutch open so i hope to ace the clock finals and maybe podium (I heard that some great clock dutchies will go to belgium for that comp bcuz 2-3 clock rounds idk)

What do you mean exactly by allrounder when you say allrounder before end-2025? Cuz you can be an allrounder by doing all or most events, you dont necessarily need to be as good as Jorian for example. (Ken je Olaf?) I consider Olaf to be an allrounder, but he is not top 100nr in every event or something.

My comp results of yesterday
Click to expand...
The fact that this had my first round of clock was crazy since i have imroved alot

So i had a comp 2 weeks ago, and it went really really well! Only clock went great, however, i sort of could have gotten podium, but the NR holder registered a week before the comp i believe, so if he didnt register, i would have gotten third place, i got 4th place :(

BUT thats not the big part, I have a comp this sunday and i learned 7s(f) and i am sub 15 with the method (sub 7 with flip tho) and on sunday i got 2 rounds of clock, and in one i want a 7sf success. wish me luck!
 
Bigger in Breda:

Started off with Megaminx, I got a double 2.44 which is both pr (no exact milliseconds)
4x4: I got double parity, on both of my solves, so 1.26 and 1.21 (cutoff was 1.15)
Sq1: So on the first solve, i bumped my elbow on the chair, on a spot that where you bump, your pinky and ring finger would get numb for like a half minute, and that happened to me, so my judge had to wait almost a minute. then on that solve i got a 40 because my hand hurt, then i got a VERY lucky scramble, it was right fist - left fist cubeshape, and I got a 26, other solves were trash.
For skewb i got a 6 (PR), the rest was trash.
I dnfed both my first 2 solves because timer stopped.

Sunday: never gotten that much nerves for ONE event

Starting off with 5x5, I got both success but no cutoff.
3x3 went whack, so i aint talking about that.

Then we had lunch, i went to the Aldi and Jumbo with Tim Cents (He broke clock NR avg!) and Teru Umene (Japanese NR holder for clock) (we lost tim)
Then when walking to the venue we saw @Enirolf and a few other people playing ultimate frisbee, and we lost :(

then 3x3 second round went alright, counted a 14 :)

Now the MAIN event of the comp (for me): CLOCK!!

This was also my 7 Simul debut!

I started off with a 7, then i got a 5.4 which would have been pr with 0.4 seconds! but i DNFed.

Then i had a 6.1 and a counting 6.2. I needed around mid 6 for pr avg, but i forgot ther last letter and i did safety flip and got a 10.

And Teru, he dnfed out of japanese NR avg :( Tim got a NR and first sub 4 from netherlands.

Watch my clock round over here:
 
How to improve with clock:

Just keep practicing and learn solving from diffrent rotations. For this i reccomend around 10-25 solves a day.

Just solve and learn solving from diffrent rotation and learn a few skips. Also setup your clock with this vid
do around 50 solves a day

This is the point where clock becomes serious, just keep practicing, learn skips and have a noce setup.
watch this video. Also use a pin order you will use for all your solves. I recommend this one:

DR pin: match c to u
UR pin: match u and c to l to make a L shaped block
UL pin: match the L to r
U pins: match everything to d

Corners: dl ur ul dr, solve horizontally for lookahead. Also use the dr or dl wheel for max. 2 times.


Just practice, find example solves on clockdb.net, you can also learn 7s at around sub 7. If you do this at a lower global, improvement gets hard. Good luck!
