Okay, here are my 12 solves. I'm not sub-20 yet, but I'm too close to sub 20 to join the sub-20 club

Here are my 12 solves. They were horrible solves

I'll play this game. My PB average of 12 is 18.8X or something like that. I've only ever had one sub-15 though.

 

[Tim Major]

I'll join, I average 19ish.

Edit: can you post each week in the first post of this thread. Once a comp is over, keep the scrambles there, but delete the really old scrambles. So the current week and previous week should be in the first post.

Added everyone.

Since we are accepting a lot of people really close to sub15 i will change the criteria to consider sub15 if the avg12 has no time worse then 14.99sec.
What do you guys think?

I think you should only accept people 16 or above.
Im in the 16's and it seems like I'd never get an avg12 w/o any sup-15 solves.

bleh

EDIT: I definately should've warmed up more than I did. Before I did this I had only 3 sub 17 avg12's (16.64, 16.95, 16.97) .......... After I made this average, I did an average of 100. I got a 16.92, 16.73, and a 16.61 all in there. All of them are separate. My average of 100 also went from 18.39 to 17.75

That's extremely restrictive IMO.

I really think that's unnecessary. You can try all you want to make this a fair contest, but it isn't going to be if you have people averaging 16 and people averaging 19 competing against each other. If someone reaches sub-15 the contest doesn't have to stop. That person can just stop participating once his/her goal has been reached (or once you get bored of organizing this, whichever comes first).

And it might look like I'm really close to sub-15 right now, but considering my rate of improvement compared to the rate of improvement of all the new kids these days, I'd say it's more fair than you might think.
