I'd say first of all "practise all the time", as often as you can, in the bus, etc. For the rest I let more experimented people help you xD3x3: 1:51.97, 2:07.09, 2:22.09, 2:00.86, 2:02.95 = 2:03.63 //I started to learn cubing on christmaswanted to give this a try. Any tips?
Also I'm pretty sure you can find topics for beginners on the forum^^

Just a warning - we are currently having some technical difficulties getting the first week of the new year posted. Bear with us and we'll try to get it posted as soon as we can.

There's a Wiki in this Forum with algorithms.
There's also lots of methods on the net with algs or videos on YouTube if you prefer that.
I think your biggest problem will be to choose

Preliminary result (this comp is still open until the next one is up, if perhaps someone from Georgia want to make a move up )
Congratulations to cuberkid, Isaac Lai and Jaysammey
EDIT: This list is removed because of the many changes. Final list on page 4.
Still this was the top of the preliminary list

Will there be one of those yearly roundups for the Weekly Comps of 2016?
(Also, I think this is my first time at #1 and I know Jacob or Ray are gonna swoop in for the win.
)
Also, is there a way to specify my gender on the site? (So that it doesn't say "His best time results"). Not a big deal to me, but am just curious.

Yes, in a day or two (after this is final).
I don't know. Where does it say "His best time results?". If I have written it I'll change it.
("neutralize" it).

Not a very important detail I guess, but would it be possible to remove all the "fake" results (e.g. 0 move FMC) from the results page? In the past it wasn't that bothersome, but this year almost all the records are "fake" timings.

I totally agree with you.
We're working on it now (those and other changes will come soon if not from this week)
