....Wasted 30 minutes of my day.

4x4 BLD: 31:xx.xx(18:xx.xx) - DNF
Most of the centers were done, off by 5 centers. Edges, something wrong somewhere, corners, same as edges. Sigh. And it felt so encouraging, kinda easy centers.

Any practice is good practice, especially when it comes to big cube BLD. Now worries, there's always the possibility of getting your next solve! :)

    [*] DNF KwS Pall
2 questions:
1) Why I am not listed on 2x2? (I have done it as the first event)
2) Why I have a DNF on 3x3 Match The Scramble? (I have only 1 DNF)

Sorry for that, I will fix that when I come home again. But that will not be until Tuesday evening. Just so you know, all results are compiled and calculated by a program, it would be to tedious to do it by "hand". Different people write their result posts in very different styles. The program tries to cope with many formats, but fails when you don't follow the guidelines. There are guidelines in the sticky threads, but it is not really necessary to read them if you follow the styles may people use.

I repeat the two most important ones:
  • Start each result line with a normal event name.
  • Write all the times on the same line, preferably with decimal point and separated with at least a space between times.
You may comment your efforts at the end of lines or how many comments you like between lines. Even within lines if surrounded by [ ].
Which reminds me, someone else found it feasible to surround his worst times with just [ ]. That just forces me to remove them :(

As I am not at home so I cannot debug the program. But I can still answer question 2):
Because the program reads the first five results after the event name, if the first is not an average of the following five. Now you have written your text so there are two DNF in the first five valid results (on several lines). One of those you intended as a comment but the program does not get that. As to question 1) I am not sure, but if you had written the post on one line I think it would have been ok.

All in all, I am sorry it happened and I will fix it in a couple of days. Normally I fix it immediately, but now it is a "real" competition over the weekend.
 
4x4x4 BLD: DNF (36:xx:xx (18:xx.xx))
Lol that was the most ridiculous BLD attempt ever. I filmed it so I could watch to see if I made any mistakes, and on review it turned out at one point centres were correct. During Edge execution I performed algorithms wrong over 5 times, and each time tried to work out what I just did, then do it backwards. I was 99% sure I'd made a mistake but I kept going just in case. I did 3 moves by accident at one point (something like U' B' R') and spent literally almost 5 minutes trying to work out what 3 moves I had just done, before trying to undo them. Anyway, 12 centres, 4 corners and 5 edges were correct. At least I know where I went wrong!

No worries Jude, remember that for BLD any practice is good practice! That's great that you had the video so that you know where you went wrong. Often I have no idea what I did wrong on a solve, only in which piece type I messed up.

Also I know what you mean about sitting there for a long period to figure out which turn. The worst for me is times when you turn the D layer with your ring finger, and you're not quite sure if you also pulled the inner d layer as well. So you have to sit there and try to remember the feeling on your ring finger, and other fingers, and decode if you think the inner layer was also turned on accident. I know exactly what you mean!

Keep up the good practice! Big cube BLD is very similar to muscle training. You have to train yourself to failure multiple times before your limits begin to improve and suddenly everything you're doing feels a lot easier than it did before.

Good luck on your future attempts!

Chris

Haha thanks Chris, words of wisdom from the master :cool:

I'll keep trying 1 a week hopefully, I just can't forgive myself for being 2 corners off in competition :mad:
 
fmc: 48 U' R' D2 F U' R L' F L U' z2 U' L' U L R' U R D L' U' L U F U' F' D' y L U L' U2 L U2 L' y' L' U L y' R U R' U' R U R' U' R U' R' U
First attempt for weekly comp I think. Second attempt overall.
X- cross: U' R' D2 F U' R L' F L U' (10/10)
First Pair: z2 U' L' U L R' U R (7/17)
Second pair: D L' U' L U F U' F' D' (9/26)
Thrid Pair: y L U L' U2 L U2 L' y' L' U L y' R U R' U' R U R' U' R U' R' U (22/48)
Very bad, only had about 15 minutes to do it. Like my forced LL skip? :D
I can't test it right now, but I think there's a mistake. I'll edit it when I get back from dinner.
 
3x3 BLD
1. DNF. Off by 2 misoriented corners.
2. DNF. Fastest DNF. I tried to rush it, hoping to get some time. I'm really tired.
Will be participating from now on.
 
Results week 48

Ok then, these are the final results. Home again and back in business of compiling results (and sorry for the delay).

With all of KwS Pall:s results counted we have a new winner, congratulations:
