What's your solving orientation for BLD?

[Tim Major]

YR.
Reason? When I was new to cubing, I would always put my solved cubes in this orientation, lined up

Don't know if this counts, I haven't had a success yet :confused:

Yes, it certainly does count.

WG, why reorient after scrambling?

WG, why reorient after scrambling?

Why scramble in WG?

Why scramble in WG?

Because they scramble in WG at competitions. I don't have to reorient as much as you do at competitions, because a lot of the times the cube is already in WG.

When I competed the cube came back in a random orientation.

 

[Zane_C]

A lot of times it's not in WG though, I've memorised that to get from WG to BR I must do x' y. But this isn't always the case in competition. But regulations do state it should be presented as WG.

 

[trying-to-speedcube...]

No, it should be scrambled as WG, not necessarily presented as WG. But if a cube gets scrambled in WG, it will also be put in the box in WG, and therefore presented as WG. Why would a scrambler randomly reorient the cube?

Heh...this made me realise my colour scheme says WR

I wish I started out with WG too cos it makes more sense, but then again it's just a y rotation away so whatever. And yea most competitions I go to I get a random starting orientation

I started a discussion about randomizing orientation on the WCA forum, and Ron's opinion on this is that it's too hard to enforce anything. So the cube could easily end up in any position, it's just slightly more likely to go under the cover and come back out the same way (depending on the procedure).
