Congratulations to everyone!

Question. When we don't get sub 20 times would anyone prefer that I don't show the [0/3] as it's not really relevant? Just wondering what the general consensus is.

Also, as soon as I can get faster at OH (high 30 rn), can I do it twice, for 2H and OH, or can I only do one event?
I know this would mean that I can view the scramble twice, so maybe I could supply my own scrambles?

If you're anything like me, you could do the average once 2H and by the time you finish and start a second round 1H you will have forgotten the scrambles and it won't matter if you use the same scrambles. If you have super memory then go ahead and provide you own scrambles. Or like @PurpleBanana said you could go to the Race to sub 30 thread for OH until you're ready for this thread.

I seem to always get sub 15 here but I never get 2 sub 15 Averages in a row on the sub 15 thread.
 
@earth2dan I think it's okay that you don't put the [0/3] in that case. I would like to know if people like to have the list ordered by time, as I'm now running the RTS15 and I just put a table ordered by nickname :)

Also, I will remove my alumni addressing this week, as I have decided to try and re-graduate with CFOP Full CN. When I graduated I was just dual white/yellow and I have been doing color neutral averages in the race to sub-25, getting to about 20.xx in the last two weeks, so I think it's about time :) There I was doing all crosses on non-white/yellow. Here I guess I should do, at most 2 white and 2 yellow crosses and the rest on other colors. Would that be fair as FCN average? Waiting for your scrambles for this week to start with the new challenge! ;)

Thanks! When I graduate the sub-30/25 thread for OH, then I will do that, but I probably wont be able to do that for at least six or seven months.

But for now, I will compete in the sub-30 thread like purple suggested.

Also, should I do 2H in sub-25 just to make sure I am sub-25 before I join this thread?
 
@mafergut Cool. I'll remove the alumni tag starting this round and you can work on your sub 20 CN. If you're going full colour neutral I'd say don't restrict your solves to a certain number of any one cross colour. Just take whatever colour has the best cross, since that's the whole purpose of CN right? If you've got a super easy white cross and everything else stinks, take it. Also, round 495 is already up ;)

@GenTheThief and @PurpleBanana I was around 27s when I joined this race (a long time ago...) so you're more than welcome to participate. The more the merrier.
 
Round 495 with Roux(Alumini)
Cube: Guoguan Yuexiao

Ao12: 17.81
Best Ao5: 16.71(solves 1-5)
Best Single: 14.58

16.72, 16.78, (14.58), 16.60, 17.01, 19.47, 20.49, (21.80), 17.08, 15.44, 17.78, 20.72

I guess I'll do one more average on this race then move on to the Race to sub-15 thread as it's obvious that I've broken sub-18.
 
@Jason Green, @earth2dan, yeah, I saw the scrambles later on my phone, I didn't realize that there was an additional page when I replied and just thought I had caught you between the results and scrambles post. This new forum style is still a bit confusing for me :(

What I was meaning is that I should at least try to not do half or more the solves on white / yellow because then it would not be a really color neutral average. Of course the idea is just to find the best cross but when trying to prove something some rules are needed. I will try to find the best cross on each scramble and, if in the end there are 3 white crosses I'll take it.

I guess I'll stay then. Thanks, @earth2dan.
I just realized that when my OH gets good enough to join this thread, I probably will have graduated from this thread with 2H.
I'm joining here with CFOP also, I am a few seconds faster with that than ZZ, though I like ZZ much much much much more.
I will include both solve times with my time post, in separate sections.
 
Round 495
Method: ZZ/CFOP
Cube: QiYi Thunderclap
Ao10/12: 23.76 (ZZ), 24.74 (CFOP)

0. ZZ,CFOP
1. (19.27), 22.31
2. 27.29, 20.64
3. 21.42, 29.56
4. (40.63) (idk wtf happened here), (19.36)
5. 24.27+, (DNF)
6. 20.00, 26.75
7. 22.64, 20.31
8. 20.96, 26.94

10. 21.01, 25.31
11. 24.14, 28.56
12. 25.57, 23.14

Overall, I am quite pleased with this average. Much better than last round.
Kinda strange that my ZZ was faster than my CFOP because it's usually the other way around.

Race to sub-20 - Round 495
Cube: Moyu Tanglong
Method: CFOP Full CN

Generated By csTimer on 2016-4-12
avg of 12: 19.66

Time List:
(14.07[white]), 17.86[blue], 21.33[orange], 19.89[green], 22.47[orange], 21.19[red], 20.66[green], (24.52[red]), 18.58[yellow], 20.81[green], 17.57[yellow], 16.15[white]

Not happy because it was the white & yellow solves what saved the sub-20 average and only 2 of the 8 solves in other colors where actually sub-20. I have been getting many 16.xx and 17.xx solves with other colors but under pressure I still have too many panic moments where I completely loose track / lookahead and have to think "what colors are in the F2L pair I'm missing?"
 
@mafergut I wouldn't be too upset. You've made incredible progress since you started in this thread. You pulled off a sub 20 on your first full CN round. 1/6 of your solves where white and 1/6 of your solves were yellow, which is exactly the right ratio for a full CN average ;). I'm still a hopeless white cross solver with no plans to even try and change that until I can get my white cross solves consistently sub 20.
