Racing to sub-20

Apparently, my method is the Aolong V2. Interesting.
Round 501
Cube: Aolong V2
Method: CFOP

1. 16.50
2. 20.35
3. 21.72
4. 17.76
5. 17.31
6. 21.21
7. 20.03
8. (22.96)
9. (15.01)
10. 19.64
11. 19.49
12. 19.36

Ao12: 19.34
 
Round 501
Cube: YueXiao
Method: CFOP
AO12: 21.09

(23.32), 21.13, (16.09), 22.74, 22.20, 20.98, 23.26, 20.01, 20.76, 17.89, 19.94, 21.92

Well that was incredibly frustrating. I had a sub 19 average with about 20 warm up solves so I was feeling good and thought I was ready... That whole average was plagued with mistakes and bad cases. Stuck corners in F2L, ugly OLL's, and all my worst PLL's. Yuck.

Race to sub-20 - Round 502
Cube: Guoguan Yuexiao
Method: CFOP Full CN

Generated By csTimer on 2016-5-29

Time List:
17.35[green], 18.43[orange], (16.33[yellow]), 18.32[red], 22.45[white], (23.77[orange]), 17.50[white], 20.63[blue], 23.64[blue], 20.68[yellow], 20.71[red], 19.54[orange]

Great start to a bad average, saved by the seat of the pants. At least this time I got some decent times with non-white / yellow crosses. Started quite relaxed and with good lookahead, got ambitious and my Yuexiao started to lock up on me... or, to be honest, I started to lock up on it :p

Only one sub 20... I haven't been practicing 3x3 that much lately. Better get back on it.
 
Round: 502
Cube: QiYi Thunderclap
Method(s): ZZ, DCN CFOP
Average: 22.34 (ZZ), 21.15 (DCN CFOP)

0. ZZ, DCN CFOP
1. 20.91, 18.50 w
2. 21.50, 22.33 w
3. 23.42, 21.92 y
4. 22.70, (16.30+) w
5. (18.72), 20.50 w
6. 21.77, 23.05+ w
7. 21.06, 22.55+ y
8. 26.26, 22.20 y
9. 19.10, 18.11 y
10. (26.94), 24.79 y
11. 21.33, (DNF)** y
12. 25.25*, 17.64 w

*Messed up EO and it turned into a CFOP solve
** totally messed up cross, and stopped timer instinctively.
So. ZZ sucked (that's just me, ZZ is awesome[so is Roux]), and CFOP was, well, CFOP. A brute force method that gets the job done without any compromise or fun. I really don't get why so many people use it as their main.
I really need to work on my look ahead.

So, I had two solves that were tied for the lowest times. Is there a rule that determines which one I don't count? (Not like it matters, but still...)

Just squeezed this average in at the office with my Gans 356. I use the Gans 356 at work because of all my 3x3's it is by far the quietest and least distracting to coworkers. It helps that it's also a damn good cube ;)
