Round 283
Event : 2H ZZ
Average:22.86
Results :
21.75, 21.85, 21.63, (28.33), (19.23), 27.20, 23.14, 24.55, 28.31, 19.65, 19.71, 20.78

Looks like I claimed last place last round :p . Results are better this round but still not better than my CFOP average butI've been with ZZ for 1&1/2 month. anyway got some high 20s there cause I wasn't/can't look ahead while solving.Got some sub-20s :D but too bad they were just 19s and whenever I get a sub-20 solve with ZZ I always go like "how the hell did I do that" lol.
 
Round 283
Avreage: 19.38

21.43+, 20.22, (22.05), 20.76, 21.59, 16.69, (14.07), 19.76, 19.27, 15.18, 19.43+, 19.57

Solve 1-5: Everything is slower than 20 sec.
Solve 6-12: Everything is faster than 20 sec.

I thought it would be a bad average after the first five solves. I were wrong.
 
Round 283
21.39
22.77, 25.17, (25.40), 20.28, 25.20, (17.69), 20.39, 22.48, 18.76, 18.66, 18.36, 21.86

Wow, much better. During that streak of 18's, I felt like I could do no wrong. Best AO5: 19.27. If only it weren't for those three 25's at the beginning...

Edit: Looks like it must just be the scrambles - PianoCube got very similar results (but better overall).
 
Round 283
Event: 2H
Average: 22.34
St. Dev: 2.73
22.07, 23.78, 22.62, 23.12, 20.21, 19.81, 22.45, 23.47, 23.26, (18.70), 22.57, (30.21)

A really good average for me, considering I've been happy with 23.xx Ao12's lately. It would've been all sub-25 singles if it weren't for that last, terrible solve. Overall, I'm really happy with this average as my first entry into the race.

Round 284
22.96
21.59, 20.98, 24.26, 22.28, 22.52, 23.88, 23.12, (54.74), 21.96, 25.93, 23.05, (20.65)

No, the 54.74 wasn't a pop - I just forgot an OLL and couldn't bring myself to two-look it - I kept trying again and again. I eventually gave up when I messed the F2L up completely, but that took about 30 seconds. :(
 
Round 284

21.30, 18.47, 25.38 :fp:, 19.83, 19.15, 17.22, 22.39, 20.74, 31.33 :fp:, 23.75, 20.87, 21.12 = 21.30

In this average, i had an a-perm, that took 5 seconds and the choppiest T-perm ever. Bad average for me
