Racing to sub-20

[miniGOINGS]

yes 2 or 3 avg of 12 or something like that good idea

Three strikes and...you win?

 

[koreancuber]

I'll make a new thread today evening stating the rules and stuff. The current rank will also be up there.

Hmm... 3 avg12's would work. would you only need 1 of the 3 to be sub 20, as long as it was the posted scrambles? or are we talking all 3 avg12's to be sub20? either way I have some work to do

 

[miniGOINGS]

I don't think that you need 3 in a row, if that's what you mean.

weekend saturday yes

?

That's when I'll (hopefully) do my video.

nah I didn't mean 3 in a row. I was more wondering if it'll only take one avg12 to win, or 2 or 3? I guess the question is, is it a race to first sub20 avg, or race to be a sub20 cuber?

ack, and on video too? that adds 10lbs and probably.. 2 more seconds to my avg xD

 

[robindeun]

Gotcha. I guess we could do both, first to sub-20 average, and then first to 3 sub-20's.

Haha, wow...

Weekly Race to sub-20 Rules

Here is the original thread. The purpose of these series of threads are to motivate cubers who are stuck in their sub-20s and above.
This is going to be a weekly race to sub-20 (there is also a sub-15 race here).
I will be the host, and iSpinz will be helping me (if I am not available). You can post your opinions on this thread.

You can join if:
1. You are above an average of 20 (on a 3x3)
2. If you are one handed cubing

Here are the rules:
1. No spamming - No reserves, or a mod will delete your post
2. Please be honest - it's not a win or die thing, just have some fun and competition
3. Use the scrambles I give you (or iSpinz if I'm absent). I will be using WCA scrambles on CubeExplorer 5.00.
4. We are using the AO12 (average of 12) system, not AO5 or AO50.
5. The times will be given out on Thursday nights and they are due by Sunday night (by 11:59 p.m.).
6. If you forget or miss the week's race, do not post them late. You can compete next time.
7. Please submit using a timer that gives you the times in x.yz format.
8. Submit your times on the thread that has the correct date on it, not older ones (I will make a new thread every week) and also, post your opinions on this thread, not any of the race threads.
9. If you hit sub-20 or below in two or more races, I will PM you, congratulating you, then I will lead you to this thread.
10. NO VIDEOS ARE NEEDED, if you really want to, you can post the video (please embed) and also write the times down below.
11. Finally, LETS HAVE SOME COMPETITION! (AND FUN!)

I will be posting the ranks every Monday (or iSpinz), according to the fastest and slowest times). The first week's scrambles will be posted tonight on this thread. If you find any flaws in the rules (please, it's my first time doing this sort of thing) please PM or comment on this thread. Thanks!

P.S. PRACTICE! PRACTICE! PRACTICE!

I saw it from your thread.

I saw it from your thread.

I think the point is, you should probably get a mod to actually agree to do this for you before you go promising it. David's thread applied to the competitions that were already established, and yours is something new. So it might be a good idea for you to go ask very politely if any mods would be willing to police your threads.

But I'll put in that request: David (or any other moderator), might you be willing to do this for us? It would be appreciated. Although I can see where it might not be worth your time, since few moderators are actually going to be competing in this competition, so they won't be regularly reading it.

I like this race - I'm already practicing more because of it. And I like the rules; I suggest you stick with them even if someone has other suggestions. If there's enough outcry, you can change the rules in a later week, but for now, stick with the ones you've got - they look pretty good to me.

I'm sorry but I don't understand the concept of a "weekly race"

hmm i need a video editor that works...

 

[dillonbladez]

i want to get sub 20 before ToSp that's two days!

So basically, any cuber, who wants to be in a race to sub-20 can be in it. Every Thursday, I will post 12 scrambles from CubeExplorer. Then I will rank the competitors on Monday and make a list (by fastest to slowest), if one person hits sub-20, they will be moved to the sub-15 thread.
