Racing to sub-20

Friday it will be. The end time will be on Sunday. (please don't be mad if I don't post the scrambles. I will have a secondary person if I can't post it (does anyone want to do it?). The prizes are just a thought. If we can get some supporters, we could try it, but I'm not really sure. So.. the scrambles are post Friday and are due Sunday. I manage it (or my secondary) on monday and post it on that day. (on this thread) We got everything sorted out. Let's start this friday.

Sure, I'll be secondary for scrambles.

Thanks. That's what I thought. I will be making a new thread friday, if you and the mods don't mind. This thread will exist for new competors only. The new thread will be the thread were I post weekly scrambles and ranks of the cubers.

I average around 26-28s.
I don't have a working camera currently, but when I can, I'll make a video.

yay for sub 20 :D
 
Wow, I was gone for a few hours, and this turned into a great organized competition. Very nice!

One thing I really like about this: we can make it a rolling contest. So anyone can enter who isn't yet sub-20. Then we have the weekly competitions, and we can be motivated by where we are in the rankings. But if anyone ever goes sub-20 for one of the competitions, they "win", but then they're no longer eligible. Then other people can join in the next week, until we get more "winners". And since there's always someone shooting for sub-20, this can go on forever. Cool?

If this is being organized this well, maybe it belongs in the Weekly Forum Competitions subforum. I think it would make a great addition.

And I'm really happy about this - it might be just what it takes to finally put me under 20 seconds - I know I can do it - I just need to work a little harder...

That's a great idea! We could keep a list of people who've "graduated" from the sub20 competition, and everyone who hasn't can keep competing. So like a hall of fame for the competition. People can enter whenever they like (as long as they aren't sub20 yet) and you don't have to enter every week or whatever but it would be strongly encouraged. You could easily do this for sub15, sub30, etc. as well.

Would it be better if the winners hit sub-20 in all categories? Like if they hit a sub-20 a5 they'd still have to get a12-a50 etc.
