The Race to Sub-2

[Sa967St]

I'm getting several sub-2's each day, but they're not consecutive and I get an awful lot of DNF's >_<

I should have won! But i haven't yet because of your rules!!! ARGH!

 

[Faz]

I think his rules are quite fair, and to win you need to be consistently sub 2.

PS: I would like to join.

Fazrulz: 2:30, 20%

fazrulz - You're going to need a higher accuracy than 20% if you're going to win

Anyway, does anyone know why my memo seems to get slower each day? Two days ago I was sub-35, now I'm at sub-60 seconds. I even got a couple of sub-20s last week.

 

[byu]

My memo is still inconsistent, 35-60 seconds usually. On harder solves, I can get much higher. But, I ALMOST won this competition, I did an average of 5 today, and these are my results:

1:47.12
1:02.19
DNF
1:54.69
3:32.19

The DNF was off by two misoriented edges, I forgot to flip UF at the end. The 3:32 had terrible execution since I forgot the R2 algorithm to shoot to FUR and then after that the one to shoot to RBD and had to stall there thinking for a while, and that slowed me down considerably.

If only my memo were consistently sub-40, like they were two weeks ago before I started M2/R2, then I would win the race. But M2/R2 has slown down my memo.

 

[Faz]

My memo is 90 seconds lol.

I will post my attempts here later - I will do 25 solves.

 

[Sa967St]

I am going to lose :/
2:17.28, 2:10.93, 2:10.75, DNF, DNF

 

[mande]

Even though I have never gotten a sub-2 single....I'm in please.
Average 3:30, consistency 75%

 

[Faz]

I got a 1:47 and 1:51 DNFs today. Also, I got a non rolling average of 5 - with only 1 DNF!!!!

It was 2:28.

 

[Micael]

PB average. This competition is cool, even though I am rather racing for sub-3.

Single:
2:56 (1:36)
3:41 (2:08)
3:47 (2:28)
3:11 (1:57)
3:07 (1:54)

Average:
3:20 (2:00)

 

[Chuberchuckee]

I would like to join even though I have absolutely no experience with BLD (yet), though I hope to start as soon as today. It seems that I only have a very, very miniscule chance of winning, but, because I am motivated by competition, I would still like to join.

(Besides, I must just win somehow.)

 

[Faz]

2:28 average of 5 with only one DNF! - I am working on my consistency.

I have also had several sub 2 DNF's

 

[happa95]

At long last, I have gotten a "legitimate" sub-2 average. Sub-1:40, actually. Unfortunately, I do not have the details because I was using cubetimer at my mom's school but the average was 1:37.xx and I had 1 DNF.

 

[Sa967St]

Leaf wins >_<, shall we still race for second place?

LEAVES FTW!

 

[byu]

Yes, let's race for second

Congratulations! You were obviously very close, so I'm not all that surprised. You deserved the win.

Race for second place!

 

[Gparker]

we should continue this till like 10th, its a really good motivation. well it was for me

 

[Sa967St]

I think I'm getting worse >_<
DNF, 2:37.66, 2:06.57, 2:06.98, 2:21.88

oh and i learned visual corners its fast

sarah, you still use old pochmann?
