No they don’t come into next round. Got a 12.32 avg in the second round (missed out on sub 12 because of a timer fail.) then 13.08 in the finals ( four timer fails wat). Also got a 11.29 single. I did bad in oh and 2x2. Sub 1:10 4x4 average.

6th in semis, 7th in finals  
I have cubed for at least 3 years less than anyone else in the top 6  
Getting a stackmat now. 5 timer fails and three plus twos in three rounds is pretty awful.

why haven’t you had one. I have one in the mail and I have never gone to a comp. I am not able to go to Berkley winter- My skewb has not came yet so I won’t have enough time to practice. But I am going to a contest late in March!!! Is there a good way to practice?

Become used to inspection, turn slower and smoother than normal for your first solves. If your not shaking turn fast.  
O also another highlight was a 7.77 tps 2x2 solve. Sune j perm because I don’t know sune clls. 3.6 was the time.

okay, good

Have you ever tried tracing to solve a cube blind? I’ve never tried it but I think I’ll try it today.

oh, i see.

Solving blind the tracing method is soooo aggravating. I’ve checked several pieces like 5 times and I’m still not 100% sure I have it right.  
edit: I tried the solve and had two edges flipped. At least I know it’s not ridiculous to trace blind solve. I’ll bet you could do it.

congrats! How many years have you been cubing? Isn’t the sub-6 mark kind of an indication that you’ve jumped up a level?

I just did a cfop blind solve. It felt great even though the time was pretty lousy (36.32 not including memo).
