Decent average. Don't mind the scrambles xD.
Oh yeh how do I become an alumni? I graduated from race- sub25

You become an alumni when you graduate from a thread. You would be an alumni in rts-25 because you graduated there, but not here, because you haven't graduated from this thread yet. As soon as you do, and still compete, then you are an alumni.
@earth2dan , feel free to prove me wrong, but that is my understanding on it.

Round: 503
Cube: MoYu AoLong (just because)
Method: ZZ, DCN CFOP
Average: 21.03 (ZZ), 21.53 (DCN CFOP)

0. ZZ, DCN CFOP
1. 23.41, (18.56)
2. (14.69) ZZ PB, 20.51
3. 21.72, (DNF 24.55****)
4. 18.69, 21.16
5. 18.19, 23.45
6. 20.74, 19.18
7. 25.83+*, 24.27
8. 25.51**, 20.45
9. 18.38, 22.42
10. (35.88+**), 21.32
11. 18.71, 20.27
12. 19.64, 22.16

So, neither has a good ao, but ZZ wins (SUCK ON THAT, CFOP)!
My ZZ was less consistent, but better, and my CFOP was much more consistent, but worse.
Oh, wait, I forgot to include the cross colour times again.
Not much else to say. Except:
*missed the U2 on a U perm. An already bad time made worse.
**just a bad LL
***got caught up on first block for like ten sec
****Messed up A-perm

I guess it is pretty easy to tell which ones I solved with my starting color and ones with a different color.
I'd say my 2x2x2 Block is pretty good, almost Sub-1.5 everytime, but my 2x2x3 extension just sucks in recognition (And EO for odd colors).

Round 503 - CFOP

I wasn't really going to do this tonight, but I got on a decent run so I went for it. I'm satisfied, I've only had a few sub 20 ao12s, but I feel like they'll start pouring in soon! BTW, had to redo like half F2L on that first one after botching PLL.

Hi,I am a new member and this is my first forum competition.

So first, Welcome. And second:
Wow. Just to let you know, there is a race-to-sub 15 race thread. If this was a typical average for you, I would suggest going there without graduating. Don't let us slow pokes keep you here two more weeks.

Superb start that came to a brutal halt with a completely spoiled solve on orange that I decided to DNF at 29sec mark and a PLL messup on yellow that I had to force myself to finish to avoid a DNF average... And in the end I came so close to succeeding that it's sad, as I was just a U2 away of a sub-20 result with he last solve (but I rushed to stop the timer and it was a +2).

I have started to not worry about the balance of colours in the average and just get the first nice cross I see, so 4 whites, no blues and no greens this time. I think I still have a bias towards white when I don't see a good cross on any color. Happy with the good solves and the fact that without the fails I would have made it (worst non-failed solve was 21.25).

@earth2dan, good luck to you for next week. I know you can do it!

What?!? Not a single white cross in the whole average! Anyway, that's not the cause of the failure. I was able to see nice crosses in any color today so that's improving, which is good. But I never felt really focused and made too many mistakes. Maybe my big cube (5x5) training is making me slow
