Certainly. I typed bob burton in google and the site that looked like it said something like “this site may be hacked.” Are there any other sites that might work.

Honestly not a bad solve, pretty good in fact.  
Try bob Burton’s cubewiz, it works for me. If not I can give you some oh algs instead.  
As for the solve, you had a lot of pauses, which I would attribute to not knowing the method as well as normal solving, so practice will solve that issue pretty quickly. Your turning is decent, but you should flick R’ with your pinky like you do for U. That’s about it. I’ll link a guide thing once I’m off mobile for turning OH.

I have very limited knowledge on this, but for things like 2x2 and 3x3 you get 5 solves and the person with the lowest average wins. Right? Wrong?

essentially yes. For bld it’s either single or mean of 3 and 7x7 (maybe 6x6) it’s mean of three.  
Also, am I the only one with competition experience who regularity uses the forums?

Is there a system of 2 look last layer that does orientation and permutation of corners and then separately doing edge o and p?

Using coll no matter the edge orientation to solve corners then doing ELL to solve edge permution and orientation. Not very efficient but It could work okay I guess.

On another note I now have UWR for 3x3 with socks on hands for single ao5 and ao12 as well as YTUWR for single and ao5.

What in the world?  
I just did a blind solve one-handed on my first try. My next blind goal is to be able to solve two cubes at the same time. Unfortunately, an aolong and a rubik’s brand cube are not at all the same speed. And right handed y and r perm are a little different from left handed. And I wouldn’t really know the criterion for what makes it “official”; like whether they have to finish at the same time, or you can’t turn one without turning the other. Is there a category like that at competitions?
