Let me see:
Recently I got a 2x2 average at LA summer throwdown where I get 3 2's, a 2.37 +2 and a DNF. not only would it be a huge PB without the +2 but would have podiumed. (2x2 is one of the events I haven't yet podiumed.)
Cubing USA southern FMC champs I dnf solve 2 and 3 and I miss Round 2 (a 38 single would have been good enough. I had a 39) I mess up in the stupidest ways by running out of time.
At LA unorhtodox twistgiving I brought my OH cube instead of my 3x3 main and I used other peoples 3x3's. but because I'm not used to said cubes I do bad.
At Fleur-de-Lis Fall LA I DNF my first 5BLD attempt with two twisted corners. I did something along the lines of executing/missmemoing P instead of K or V at the last alg.
Baton Rouge Winter 2022: I miss Megaminx Soft cutoff by 0.43 seconds.
Lafayette Fall 2019: With a DNF entering into solve 5 I saw the cube somewhat as the runner came but only told the delegate after the round. while It was counted at the comp (I only made out green cross somewhat) It was later DNF'ed. I feel a bit guilty because someone else should have gone to finals instead of me.
South East Texas Open 2018 I'm on pace for a 2:40 ish 6x6 solve which would have been a huge overall PB but I mess up OLL parity and get a 3:33. I also miss 7x7 cutoff by 3.65 seconds and Megaminx cutoff by 2.21 seconds.
Also plenty of bad averages. Not all of them can be winners.
