What is meant by the term sub-X global?

[T_adapledge]

Hi, this might be a silly question but only recently I came across the term sub-x global and I was wondering what it meant.
Does global mean all of your averages?
I am relatively new to the forum so this might be a stupid question but it would make a lot more sense when I come across people saying they average stuff like sub-10 global in their progression threads.

Global means what you usually get, so it is likely your ao1000. This would be the time you would say to people if they ask you what you average.

Thanks so much, that makes a lot more sense now.

(Sub is Latin for below/under)

can't it be avg100?

I don't even know what my avg1000 is

but I don't say global avg anyway, I just say "my avg100 is..."

avg100 is way too low and does not cover your global average.

Personally I don’t have enough energy to do an ao1000 in one sitting. I just say that I am sub 18

I don't mean in one sitting. I keep my times for an event in one single session, so I am easily able to get ao1000. Definitely not healthy to do ao1000 in one sitting.

I don't think that's the case, while you average of 100 can vary I think average of 1000 is just too high and you can get faster during a single average of 1000 meaning its not a true "global average".

I agree.
For me an avg100 is a good indicator of speed

I'm not saying your wrong, but point being for me and skewb my ao1000 is 3.3, while my ao100 is 3.1, which is still a big difference meaning I got kind of lucky scrambles on the ao100 while my ao1000 is my global, since I average 3.3.

Kinda disagree. I think my Ao100 (23~24s) reflects more of my current skill level than my Ao1000 (sub 26) does.
IMO your statement is only true when one hits his/her skill limit though, so Ao1000 represents the skill, Ao100 represents the session.
