Racing to sub-20

18.22, 18.63, 22.34, 18.59, 21.75, (25.40), 19.57, 19.23, 15.51, (14.72), 20.85, 22.42 = 19.71

15.51 was full step with 7-move Sune COLL into my fav EPLL case

14.72 was OCLL skip into F-Perm.

The reason I was able to get sub-20 in 2 months with ZZ is because I started cubing in September of 2008 and stopped in July of 2009. At the time I stopped I had already switched to ZZ and I was working on COLL. I just came back. So it's not like I am brand new to cubing =P
Although I did get a sub-20 AO5 with CFOP within 3 months of me starting. I can't do that now though. My cross sucks and I have forgotten a few OLLs.

I guess this is goodbye then.
Farewell....

Not bad, not bad. The 2 sup-30's weren't good, but I'm getting less and less of those recently.
 
bummer that i didnt make it into the last one. anyway, batch 16

26.30, 22.12, 24.11, 21.99, 24.18, 25.45, 28.03, 24.13, 21.88, 23.63, 23.45, 22.22 = 23.76

meh

Actually, the Race to Sub-15 thread seems to be dead. So I will just stick around here.


I have a suggestion.

If this race gets filled with people with sub 20 averages, it will be impossible for people to get into the top 10 and the whole race will lose it's meaning.

How about: People who "graduate" the race to sub 20 can still compete as usual but their results will not be listed amongst the top 10 contenders.

If a person who graduates falls below a sub 20 average in 2 consecutive weeks, they can re-join the race as a regular member.

What do you guys think?



EDIT Batch 16

20.21 21.08 22.15 23.41 (16.84) 20.72 (23.42) 22.41 18.62 18.03 21.79 22.46

Average of 12: 21.09 :)

Well done! I've been quite impressed at your rate of improvement. Guess we're both now racing to sub-15, but I won't be surprised if you over take me :o

... keep up the good work ;)
 
16th Batch:

25.50, 29.80, 22.97, (41.78), 29.78, 29.22, 30.28, 29.43, 23.86, 27.55, 23.66, (18.52) = 27.21 avg.

Worst average in this comp yet. Some of the bad solves can be attributed to forcing myself to do OLL's I'm not comfortable with yet. I messed up the alg for one of them and had to redo the last f2l, but the others were just slow recognition. I also had one solve where I dropped the cube after PLL and missed the AUF. I picked it up and AUF'ed the wrong way and dropped the cube again. I picked it up a secong time to AUF and locked up. Should've just taken the +2 :fp

Not sure, but the last single might be a NL PB :D
