Somehow the only 22 from this dr uses 4q, and with all the other drs i didn't get to checking that. Mallard only finds really obscure 20s

Other:
R' B' 
L'
D2 U' F2 B2 L2 D R // 2c3 2e in 10, 22 opt from variations but skull path

R' B' 
(U L')

U' F2 D' // HTR(3/12)
L2 U2 L2 D2 B2 R2 B2 // finish(7/19)

Lol, wasn't expecting this when i saw 10 bad axis

U L' F' L' D // EO(5/5)
F2 R2 F L' // DR, 2c4(4/9)
(U2 B' R2 B' U2 L2 B' L2 F) // HTR(9/18)
(D2 R L' F2 B2 R' L') // finish(7-2/23)

I had at least 6 23s and slices in 23, but somehow this dr has only 4 sub23, none of which have more than 3 half turns in a row, and i was overwhelmed with htrs as it was

My only other workable dr:
(F2 R' D B)
D' B2 D' R' D2 R' // 2c4 in 10

Turns out i actually had an htr for 22:
(D B2 U F2 U' L2 U'), which leads to 2e+M slice in 22 but insertion is pretty hard

However i only tried R' D2 R' -> qt -> switch , if i tried L' F2 L' -> qt -> switch i would've got a very easy 22, such a scam scramble

(D') F2 B2 U // EO(4/4)
R' B // JZP(2/6)
(L2 B L2 R2 F) // DR, 4b2 2e(5/11)
(R U2 R) // HTR(3/14)
(B2 U2 B2 D2 R2 F2) // finish(6/20)

I was sitting with this backup from around minute 35, would've submitted it if it was official, but i decided to check this niss eo at like 52 minutes and managed to scribble down the 20 at around 58-59

B' D' F2 U
L
U2 B' D2 L' B L
(L2 F D2 F')
(R2 D2 R2 D2 R2 F2 L2) // slice in 21 + 1

Also had a bunch of drs in 10 but nothing stood out, mallard only finds 19 from jzp off B U' R2 D so I'm very happy i managed a 20 in the last minutes

R' F D' R' // EO(4/4)
B' // DR-4E4C(1/5)
F2 U D2 F2 U R2 F' // DR, 4b2 2e(7/12)

(F' B L2 F' B') // LS(5-2/21)

[] = U' D' B2 D' L2 D(+1/22)

Pure luck

I had
D (D' R2 D)
R2 F
R' L B2 D2 B // 2c3 in 11 with variations on both sides but bad

But if you do R2 F' you can do D2 F2 L' R F' to dr, which leads to a free 21, but well

(L' R' F D) // EO(4/4)
(R' D2 L D2 R' F) // DR, 2c3 2e(6/10)
F2 U2 R D2 [R F2 R // HTR(7/17)
D2 B2 R2] D2 L2 // S slice(5/22)

[] = R' L2 B2 R U2 {F2 L2(+1/23) // adjust
{} = F B D2 R2 D2 F B'(+1/24)

This dr is 22 opt from switching D2 L, and my double slice is 23 opt but i was messing around with pairs tracing too much this attempt and had little time to find it

(R) B U B R // EO(5/5)
F // DR-4C2E, AR-3C1E, 2 pairs(1/6)
(D' F' D2 F) // DR, 2c4(4/10)
(D) U' F2 U F2 L2 D' // HTR(7/17)
R2 B2 U2 L2 D2 // finish(5-1/21)

Other funny drs:
(B) F D L B
R D' R U2 L // 2c4 in 10, this is literally the first eo i checked

(B) D2 F L B
U2 L F2 U' R // 4a2 2e in 10

This is probably the most fun i've had on a scramble this bad, lmao

D F L B' // EO(4/4)
R F2 R' D // DR, 4c4(4/8)
L' F2 L (L B2 R2 D2 R) // HTR(8/16)
(L2 B2 D2 L2 D2) // S slice(5/21)

([L B2 R2 D2 R L2 B2 D2 L2 D2 L'] F2 L...)

[] = R D2 R2 F2 R' {U2 B2} R2 F2 R'(-1/20)
{} = U D L2 U D'(+3/23)

This is somehow optimal from dr with 4q, bruh

Only other dr:
L U F2 D' R
(F D' B2 U B) // 4a3 in 10, also 23 opt

Mallard only finds 21 from switching this eo and doing jzp to 4c3 in 11 with a somewhat easy finish, i didn't switch cause 22 arm but should've

D' L R' B // EO(4/4)
(U' R2 D' U2 L) // DR, 2c4(5/9)
[U' B2 U' R2 D L2 D'] // HTR(7/16)
L2 B2 U2 B2 R2 B2 L2 // LS(7-1/22)

[] = D' R2 U' F2 D B2 U'(+0/22)

Early backup:
D' L R' B
R
(R2 U2 F2 L' B2 L')
(D2 R2 B2 U F2 D')
(L2 F2 U2 F2 R2 F2) // 23

Kinda stupid for missing the R U L htr when it was available and gives easy finish for once, but i don't thing you can get sub22 from my drs without that. There's also an easy 20 from doing (D) rzp on inverse which i missed

(B' D2 R F) // EO(4/4)
R2 U' F2 U // DR, 4b3(4/8)
(L) D2 B2 L D2 L // HTR(6/14)
U2 L2 U2 F2 & R2 L2 // S slice(6-1/19)

& = F2 U2 B2 L2 F2 D2 B2 R2(+2/21)

Missed 20 from reducing to 4a2 on normal and switching, and there's an 18 from switching 3mover and doing F B rzp, but could've been worse

(F L' B D) // EO(4/4)
(B') // DR-4E4C(1/5)
L F2 U2 R F2 R F // DR, 2c3(7/12)
(U2 B2 [L' F2 L F2 L) // HTR(7/19)
(R2] D2 F' B' R2 F B) // LS(7-2/24)

[] = L R2 B2 R D2 R'(+0/24)

Bad solve. Mostly worked on these 2 drs, but they didn't cooperate:
D F R2 B'
(R U)
D' L D' L' D // 4b2 4e in 11, unique 23 opt with hard 4q

D' F R2 B
(R U)
R2 L' U R2 U // 4b2 4e in 11, unique 23 with hard 4q

Missed 2 good drs on this scramble, first is dr in 9 from (L F' B' R B), it has a 21 which is kind of findable but you have to try 2 half turns before 2c3 2e reduction on inverse, and the second one from (F L' B D), when i saw the triangle shape on it i knew this had to have a setup to a 5mover but didn't find it, sad. This leads to a relatively easy 22 from 4b2 4e in 10

Overall a much better week than previous 2, only one bad solve

R' (B' R' L) // EO(4/4)
(F') // DR-4E4C(1/5)
D' R2 D' [R2 F'] // DR, 4a2 4e(5/10)
(L2 D) // fake HTR(2/12)

Now remove [] for a different 4a2 4e:

R' (B' R' L)
(F' L2 D)
D' R2 D' // 4a2 4e in 10
(L2 F U2 F2 R2 F) // HTR(6/16)
(U2 F2) // E slice(2/18)

(...[U2 F2 D R2 D] R)

[] = U D R2 D B2 U(+1/19)

Solves like this is why i'm doing this event

also had this backup very early on:
R (B R' L)
(U)
(R2 B U F U')
(L2 D2 F')
(L2 D2 L2 U2 F2 R2 U2 F2 U2) // 22

R (F L') // EO(3/3)
(B) // DR-4E4C(1/4)
U2 L2 D B2 D B' // DR, 4b2 4e(6/10)
(L2 U) U2 B2 R2 U // HTR(6/16)
U' D F B R2 F B' U D // finish via double slice but lazy to type(9-4/21)

First kinda nice solve in league, only missed 20 from D' F' D2 B which i didn't check cause D' B' L2 F variation was bad, but well

U D2 F // EO(3/3)
(B2 L') // JZP(2/5)
(U' L2 U B2 U) // DR, 2c3 4e(5/10)
(B2 [L' U2 R D2 R') // HTR(6/16)
(D2 F2 B2 L2] F2 D2 F2) // LS(7-1/22)

[] = R' F2 L U2 R' U2 F2 B2 R2(+0/22)

The only kind of decent solve this week, though there is a 21 if you switch after (B2 L' U') jzp, which i found before this dr but didn't switch for some reason

B (U2 L' F) // EO(4/4)
L' B2 L2 U2 L' U // DR, 4b2 4e(6/10)
(L' F2 B2 L' D2 L D2 L') // HTR(8/18)
(U D' R2 U' D) // LS(5-1/22)

+1

I am just so bad this season, it hurts.

My other dr has an easy 22 but i didn't commit to 4q on inverse for it:
D2 F' R' F
R2 U2 L U2 L' U' // 4b2 2e in 10 with htr in 14, had a backup 23 from this too

Missed/didn't commit to the extension of 9+5 that has a 21, skull

D' B' R F' L // EO(5/5)
B' // DR-4E4C(1/6)
(F2 D F2 U B) // DR, 4a4(5/11)
L2 U' L2 [U R2 U2 F2 D'] L2 D // HTR(10/21)
F B' D2 F' B' // LS(5-1/25)

[] = U' F2 D2 L2 D(+0/25)

What the actual fuck, this is 3 +14 optimal 2c4s in a row in league, i used an extension to 2c4 in 10 which has a unique 24, it's an extension to htr i had but still

(U2 B U R F) // EO(5/5)
D2 R' U' R // DR, 2c4(4/9)
F2 D B2 [U' R2 U] L2 B2 U // HTR(9/18)
R2 F2 U2 F2 D2 // LS(5/23)

[] = D' F2 D(+0/23)

I also had
(D' R F' L2 D)
(U2 F2 D2 F2 R) // 4b2 4e in 10 with 4 variations

But 23 seems to be the best possible from my drs

I hate scramble sets like this

(
L2 R2 B R // EO(4/4)
U' D B2 U F' // DR, 2c4(5/9)
U R2 B2 [U' L2 U R2 F2 U' // HTR(9/18)
F2 D2] F2 B2 L2 // LS(5/23)
)

[] = D' B2 U F2 L2 D' B2 U2(+0/23)

Fuuuuck, why is even a good scramble so cursed. Had a lot of sub11 drs which were all 4+ qt except for extension of this which is 4b2 4e. There are some 22s from my drs but they all use cursed paths, and for a 19 you have to check a niss 5mover that i had but didn't get to after going all in on 2c4 in 8 and it's variations

(F2 B L' F B) // EO(5/5)
U2 R F2 L U L' D' // DR, 4a3(7/12)
L'^ (R B2 U2 D2 L'^) // HTR(6/16)
(B2 R2 F2 D2 B2 U2 F2) // LS(7/25)

^ = w(+0/25)

Fuck this scramble

D (L D') // EO(3/3)
F' B2 R' B2 R // DR, 4b2 2e(5/8)
(R2 L2 D2 L2 B' R2 F') // HTR(7/15)
(D2 L2 F2 R2 F2 D2 R2) // finish(7-1/21)

Missed 20 from an extension i didn't know existed, but not too bad for the first attempt in almost 2 weeks

B F D' L' // EO+JZP(4/4)
(U2 F D2 F) // DR, 2c3 4e(4/8)
(B2 U R2 U'^ L2 U'^) // HTR(6/14)
U2^ F2 B2 L2 B2 L2 // LS(6/20)

^ = w(+0/20)

Imagine both htr in 13 and htr in 14 having 20s but i only find one of them after switching htr after finding
(D2 L2 D L2 D R2 D)
(R2 F2 D2 L2 F2 B2) // slice in 21+0

WTF was this scramble. I had only this and one other sub12 dr that was 4b4. Apparently one of like 4 eos i didn't switch gives easy 21, fuck. This is not a start of the match with wen i wanted

First i found:

(F) R2 F
R2 B2 U' F2 U L // 2c3 4e in 9
F2 U B2 U F2 U
R' L B2 U2 R L' // slice in 21, solve in 22

Then i found this dr:
B D2 L' U 
L F2 R B // 2c4 in 8

I spent like 15 minutes on it but it just didn't work in spite of tons of htrs on normal, turns out it was 22 optimal. Then i returned to the first dr and found

(F) R2 F
R2 B2 U' F2 U L'
F2 L2 U B2 U F2 U
F2 D2 L2 B2 L2 F2 // slice in 21, solve in 21

And then i returned to the 2c4 in 8 to try to extend it and literally the first thing i check is
B' D2 L' U // EO(4/4)
F2 R F2 L B' // DR, 0c0 4e(5/9)
[R2 U2 R F2 B2 L] // HTR(6/15)
U2 F2 // WTF(2/17)

[] = R L F2 R U2 D2 R(+1/18)

Crazy scramble

(B R' F B') // EO(4/4)
(D') // DR-4E4C(1/5)
U2 L D2 R F2 D' // DR, 2c4(6/11)
(L) R2 D2 L' U2 F2 [R D2 R' // HTR(9/20)
D2 R L] U2 D2 R L // finish(7-2/25)

[] = L B2 R' B2 R2(-1/24)

What a scramble, this was my only sub12 dr from switching all my 4movers and even some 5movers. Mallard finds 21 from (U D) F' U eo which i missed despite thinking during attempt that i should trace (U D) and never doing it, idiot

(U B2 L D') // EO(4/4)
(B) // DR-4E4C(1/5)
R' D2 L' F' // DR, 2c4(4/9)

L' B2 L D2 F2 R U2 R // HTR but also double hperm away from slice, so lets switch after 4a1

L' B2 L D2 F2 L (L') // HTR(7/16)
(B2 D2 F2 B2 D2) // finish(5/21)

Funny how i found this solution switching from normal instead of inverse, but i just checked normal first and this popped up. This was my only sub11 dr, forgot to check F R (B2 L) which had a 20 opt 4a2 with 4q, oops

Also after dr (L2 D2 F2) is a 3e3c in 11 which is funny

(U F2 D) // EO(3/3)
(F2 L B2 D2 L F B) // DR, 4b2 2e(7/10)
B2 R2 U2 D2 L' B2 R // HTR(7/17)
(F' B' R2 D2 F B) // finish, found through switching htr and spamming variations(6-4/19)

Nice, ended at 35 minutes, only had this other dr with a bunch of variations because i decided to ditch 5movers after finding these drs at like 12 minutes

(L2 U F2 D)
B2 L R' F' R' B // 4a3 in 10

F2 D F B' U // EO(5/5)
R' // DR-2E3C(1/6)
B' R' F R // DR, 4b2 2e(4/10)
(R2 D2 B2 D2 B' U2 B') // HTR(7/17)
(R2 U2 B2 D2 R' L' B2 R L) // finish(9-2/24)

Other:
F' R' L U2 F'

(D' F2 L2 F2 U) // 4b2 4e in 11 variation hell

B2 U' B' F D'

(D F B R)
(B)
B2 L2 B2 D' U2 B // 2c4 in 11

Missed a 23 from the 10+2 using a different 7move htr on inverse and a 6move double slice finish instead of 7, skull. The fact that mallard doesn't find a sub23 without rzp in 6 or dr in 12 is so cursed for a 4/6/8 with a decent number of 4movers. A 22 is possible from my 4b2 variation hell, but you have to niss 4a2 2e reduction(which i totally should've done), but then find a very specific htr with a 3move finish, so still kinda hard even if you switch

F (B' R B) // EO(4/4)
(U' <R2> F2 R' D' R) // DR, 2c4(6/10)
(F2 [U2 L2 D' B2 D']) // HTR(6/16)

[] = D2 R2 U' R2 U'(+0/22)

Other:

Imagine juggling 3 2c4s for 20 minutes and finding slice in 24 at best, then remembering extenisions exist and getting a 22 from the second htr you check. Very stressful scramble with lots of shitty short drs. 21 is possible with eo extension i didn't write down but i'm happy getting away with a 22, and 20.33 mean is nice

R2 U // EO(2/2)
(U2 F' L B) // DR, WTF, 4c4(4/6)

{} = R' D2 R2 F2 L(-1/20)

WTF was this scramble. I only found the blocky fish rewrite at 57 minutes when writing down solution, and 20 seems to be the best you can do on the scramble without extending dr by 4 moves, but for checking the dr+variations since 10 minutes getting a 20 this late feels shit

F' U' R2 F // EO(4/4)
R' U2 L U D // DR, 2c3 6e(5/9)

[] = R' L2 F2 D2 R' F2(-1/19)

This was literally the first eo i checked, and i had this solution at 18 minutes, finished the solve at 34 after checking all 4movers and not finding anything potentially better. This ties mallard, always nice to get an easy sub20 for a change after all the spam scrambles from last week
