DNF was me messing up a G perm and not realizing it - I had a U perm left at the end.

Round 263
Average: 20.04

20.17, 19.31, (16.90), 21.14, 21.00, 19.95, 16.96, 18.76, (23.61), 17.06, 23.17, 22.83

This is my best result so far in this race. So close sub 20!
The bad thing is that it could easily have been sub 20, but I got two "+2". Those two 23 sec solves were actually at 21.

BTW, what is the proper way to write a solve time with penalty? Is it fine to just add 2 seconds to the time I got, like "23.61", or should I write something like "21.61+2" or "23.61+" instead?

It would normally be written as 23.61+.

Wow, those times were all over the place. Oh well, not a bad average, anyway.

Participation has really been low lately - I'm sorry if part of the reason for that is that I've been late posting lately; I'll try to do a bit better in the future.

Hi guys I'm new here for this thread (I think). Haven't cubed properly in a while, so I thought I could enter here anyway since I'm comfortably sub 30 (despite the fact there were sups in this avg, kinda embarassing, but I'm ironing out the bumps here ). I'm back with a vengeance though, and plan on actually practicing and learning full PLL and some useful OLLs now. So I thought I would have my first entry be a cold first start to see how fast I can get sub 20 from basically point 0.
