Crappy scramble, there is a 20 from eo i didn't have cause i misscrambled the first time writing normal eos so my niss tracing on L was wrong when i did it and i didn't redo it after rescrambling

Nice free 22, the dr was very blocky so i tried extending htr in 17 and this instantly spawned

Mallard finds a 20 and a 21 here but 20 is switching rzp in 6 with 1 pair and 21 is a 5mover extension on a eo i didn't have, so happy with a 22

There is a unique 23 from this dr but it's really hard, you need to switch 5move reduction to 4a1

Kinda sad to submit a backup 22 from 17 minutes on such a scramble. I somehow managed to forget about (L F2 U L') eo which has a free 21. I also had a bunch of 2c4s in 10 this attempt, and 2 of them were 21 optimal but come on

72 eos checked. Missed a couple of 22s here from the 4move eo, one uses jzp on inverse that i missed, and the other is straight up dr in 11 on normal, and i just didn't switch that eo. There are also reasonable 22s from (U2 F L' D2 B) jzp, but it's all drs in 12 so i didn't even write them down, but apparently just doing a random dr on normal, 4a1 4e reduction on inverse and whacking variations would've given a free 22

Quite proud of finding this dr. There is a unique 20 after switching a 2move reduction to 4b2 2e on the variation heavy side, but i didn't check that after finding 2 21s on inverse, skill issue i guess

For some reason after finding this backup 22 to slice i didn't check (D R2 D...) variations and when i returned to this dr i forgot to check them again, and one of those has a slice in 22 that's actually +0, but whatever.
Kinda bad mean, could've easily been 21 21 22

So much work for a 23 lmao. At around 35 minutes i ran out of eos and decided to switch eos ending in F' U2 B, hoping that even a 12move dr with a decent subset can lead to some double slice stuff, and then this randomly spawned. Looks like 23 is optimal from variations which is a bit disappointing considering double slice potential and blockiness.

Pretty much only worthwhile dr, the only sub11 one with good subset. Missed a 21 from trigger setup cause of course i did. I even double checked if i missed a short setup on inverse at the end of attempt but somehow forgot that F2 cancels so didn't consider F2 U2/D2 before parity fix, bruh.
Lost the match because of not checking variation on a2, optimal from my drs or their variations were 21 19 21, but overall not the worst week
