I guess I will take it, my goal was to get 3 sub 20 singles and of course my luck, I get 2 and a 20.00
it is whatever though, excited for next week though
The purpose of this thread is to motivate cubers!
This is going to be a race to sub-20 (there is also a sub-15 race here).
Here are the rules:
1. No spamming - No reserves.
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. I will be using WCA scrambles on CubeExplorer 5.00.
4. We will be using the AO12 (average of 12) system, not AO5 or AO100.
5. The scrambles/results will be out on Monday/Thursday and they'll be due the following Thursday/Monday.
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 this thread. (duh)
9. If you hit sub-20, then you can go to the sub-15 thread.
10. Anyone who does not already average sub-20 is welcome - ANYONE MAY JOIN AT ANY TIME!
11. You may join with a special condition if you like, such as one-handed or using a specific alternate method. If you do not specify a special condition, your results will be assumed to be normal two-handed speedsolving.
12. You graduate from the thread when you have successfully completed sub-20 rounds three times with no over 20 second rounds in between.
13. Once you've graduated, you're welcome to compete again with a special condition; if you do this, you will not be treated as an alumnus and will be included in the regular results.
14. NO VIDEOS ARE NEEDED, if you really want to, you can post the video (please embed) and also write the times down below.
15. WCA RULES ARE MY RULES!
16. Finally, LETS HAVE SOME FUN!
*Please note: If you have not participated in 10 rounds, and are NOT an alumni (green), your stats will be deleted next round. If you ARE an alumni, your stats will be hidden, but not deleted.

Im thinking about switching to a yuexiao but not to sure.. i think i will still do this average with the valk, but i might switch to the yuexiao for my comp on the 29th.. what do you guys thin?
looks like I am staying with the valk lol! I am soooo happy with that, 2nd ever sub 20 Ao12 for me, and first on this forum! very excited, I just had a lot better look ahead, I started focusing on the F2L pairs that I was not putting in as opposed to watching the one I was even though I did not need to

Started badly, then picked up. First 5 solves were 20.91 A05, 3-7 were 17.35 - GOT to work on consistency. But only 5/12 sup-20 after a week back cubing isn't bad.
Thanks @earth2dan, what do the bonus points get me?! :-D I've been pipkiksass on every forum since IRC in the mid 90s!
And thanks to @mafergut and @Jason Green for the csTimer help - much easier this time.
Ooh sub 19 even! My global average is still 20.3 though. I can't comfortably say I'm sub 20 until I break that wall down.
@CornerCutter I'll add your time to round 520 in my spreadsheet. I'm closing round 521 right away, if you've done your average you should post it asap.
Edit: I see you posted it while I was composing this message
Solid round for everyone. @muchacho and @kbrune, just one more! You can do it! (but don't feel bad if you miss, I choked on round 3 a few times before I finally got it)
