missed U' R2 D' (U') for 21-optimal 10+3 :(
Well, there goes my chance to win the season

On the bright side, 12+10 from RZP in 7

19, 25, 22 this week, guess which solve used a sub12 DR xD

B R' F' D'
R' B L F2 L2 B' L' // 4b2(11)
(U2 L2 D2 B U2 L2 B')
(L2 D2 L2 D2 F2 D2) // Mslice(24)
+1 for 25

wtf literally couldn't get anything to work

(U L)
(B R2 U D) B2 R2 F2 U' F2 D // 4b2(12), double extension of 10+2
F (B' L2 F2 D2 R2 D2) // solved(19)

Ahahah another 12+7 I love this event

U (R' F' D)
(L2 U2 R2 L' B) // 1qt 4e(9)
R (F2 L' B2 R2 U2 F2 L' U2 D2 R2) // solved(19)

Miscounted that as a 20 for the whole attempt, and almost submited the 20 I got on the other variation instead lmao

R2 B
(B2 L') U F2 U' F2 R // 0qt 4e(9)
(B2 U' F2 B2 U')
(B2 D2 R' L' D2 R' L') // slice(20)
+1 for 21

I had the 20-optimal 10+1s, but idk, too many variations and I didn't expect to beat 21 on them

For some reason I thought trying 4q on the 9+0s was more relevant during the attempt

F' R2 U' B
D' R' B2 R L2 F2 U2 B2 U' // 1qt(13)
L
D2 B2 L2 D2 L2 U2 L2 // solved(21)

Also had:

F2 D R2 D' R2 L2 U
L2 U2 F2 B2 // slice(20), Thanksfully +1 so I can still submit 13+8

R F R2 B R' // 2c3 2e(11)
(U2 F) L2 U2 B L2 B'
D2 F2 U2 R2 F2 R2 // solved(24)

Had multiple 23 to slice on this set, but it's 24 optimal

I pushed DR finding quite far (40+min), and couldn't get anything to work in the remaining time

I saw the opportunity for 11+4s on (L) U F R L but I didn't be bother writing them down

U F B2 L' B'
U R' D L // 2c3 4e(9)
(F2 U) U2 R2 F2 D' L2 D
R2 F2 R2 L2 B2 // solved(22)

Found at 54min

Got all the 9+3s late because I checked FB normal 5-movers last, literally had nothing at 30min

F R' F R L
U D (U) // 4b5(8) with epic RLUD structure
(B R2 F U2 B' U2 B R2 B)
(R2 L2 B2 U2) // slice(20)
+0 for 20

I expected this DR to be horrible to work with because of variations and 4b5, but first thing I did gave optimal from F R' F

(U2 D R)
(D) D' L2 U' R2 U' R2 B2 U' // 1qt(12)

Why do 8+12 when you can just 12+7

(U') L2 B' U'
L' (F B2 L' U2 B2 L) // 2c3 4e(11)
B2 R2 F' D2 R2 B' D2 F2 B'
R L D2 R L // slice(22)
slice out R L for slice in 21
+1 for 22

Wrote EOs like (D B) B D' F, but missed L2 U (F U) :(
Or rather, wrote (F U) as if it was part of a 2+3, but ended up not checking it

(F) L B
L2 F2 U' R D' R // 4c3(9)

(L) D2 R2 D2 L U2 L'

Had this cool bad 9+2:
(U L F U D)
(F' B R' B) // 4b2 4e(9), 22 optimal

(L) B L' U2 R'
F D F2 U' F // 2c3 6e(10)
D F2 L2 D' B2 R2 U'
F B' L2 F B' // solved(22)

DR is actually 21 optimal:
F' U' F B' U2 F B' D' B2 U' L2 U2 L'

I wish I could have used:
B (L2 F L' F)
U L2 D' B2 D R L // 4b2(12)
B2 L2 U' B2 L2 U' F2 R2 U2 // slice(21), but +2

I spent too much time on the billion of 11+2s from (L) B' R' F2 L and (L) B' L' U2 R but it looks like there is nothing good here

B D F'
(B2 L U R2 L2 B2 U) // 4b2(10), +2 extension

(U2 D2 F U2 D' B) // 4b2(11)
B2 U B2 U
L2 F2 U2 F2 U2 // slice(20)

Had this backup 22:
(L) U' D F' R

(L) U2 L // 4b2 2e(8)
(F2 D B2 R2 L2 U)

First had this 21:
D' B' U L
(F) D' B2 D2 B2 D' F // 2c3(11)
R2 U' R2 B2 D' B2 U2 F2 U' B2 // solved(21)

(F') B L U F
D' L' U' D2 R // 4b2(10)
F2 U' B2 L2 U'
L2 B2 U2 L2 B2 // solved(20)

I assumed this had to be DR optimal :(

20.5 mo6, for only 1 point out of 4 🥶

(D2 B)
L' U R' U' R2 B2 D' // 2c3 2e(9)
B2 R' F2 L U2 F2 R2 L
F' B' R2 F' B' // slice(20)
+1 for 21

had this cool double slice in 18 from setting up to 4e3c 5-mover:

(D2 B')
(F2 R' B2 U L B2 L2 U) // 4b2(10)
F2 U2 B2 L D2 R U2 R2 // double slice(18), garbage despite nice structure

R L F U' B // EO+2squares(5)
(L' U2) // 2x2x2(7)
(B2 R D B2 R) // blocky 4b2(12)
(B2 D B2 D R2 B2 R2 B2) // slice(19)
heartbreaking +3 for 22

On the same EO:
R L F U' B
R' D' R' // massive blocks(8), short DRs are possible from here but bad, there are 2 +13 for 21 from here but idk:

U R L' U' L' U B2 L2 D L2 D' R' B2
U2 F2 U' R' U' R U D R' D' F2 U L2

And 21 is optimal from EO

(F2 L' B U' D')
F2 R2 B2 R' B' L // 4b2 4e(11)
(B L2 D2 B')
(F2 D2 L2 B2) // solved(19)

10+9 and 11+8 in the same mean to start the season xD

The initial 9+2 looked awful but is also 19 optimal

(D B2 L' D')

19.67 to finish the season !

B (F2 U2 L2 D2 B)
(R2 F2 R2 U2) // slice(21)
+1 for 22

21 possible from this variation of the DR, had the HTRs but the finishes are hard to spot:
L' F' D2 F2 R2 F R L U2 F2 L2 D2 F2 D'
L' F' D2 L2 B2 L2 F' R' L U2 F2 L2 F2 D' 

(R' L) F' B L
(B' U' F') // 4a2 4e(8)

scramble optimal :)

(L2 F2 B2 U')
(F' U2 F' L2 F') // 4c3(9)
R (D2 B2 L' D2 B2 L')
(F2 L2 B2 D2) // slice(20)
+1 for 21

Very messy attempt because of the many variation hell JZPs available, but at least I got away with a decent result

(U)
R D B
D (L' B2 R U' F2 U') // 2c3 2e(11)
(B2 R B2 L D2 B2 L)
(F2 U2 D2) // slice(20)
+1 for 21

Found very late, when I was trying random premoves

I had this linear backup 22 early:
(R' U' B')
(D' R U R2 F2 U B2 R) // 4b2(11)
(B2 L2 U' B2 U)
(B2 U2 F2 R2 F2) // slice(21)
+1 for 22

missed the 8+3, missed the 20-optimal extension on D2 B2 U' B

(U)
F' L2 D R'
F' U2 F2 D2 B' U' // 1qt(11)
B2 R2 D2 L2 F
U2 L2 F2 D2 R2 L2 B2 // solved(23)

basically a DNF on such a scramble

(F D' L')
U F B2 D' F U B // 2c3 2e(10)
(U L2 U' F2 R2 U' D2)
(R2 F B R2 U2 F' B) // slice(21)
+2 for 23

not even DR optimal which is 22, and I missed everyone of the many possible 21s

I feel like I die way too often on good-EO scrambles

R' (U D' L)
U' B U2 D F2 R2 B' // 2c3 2e(11)
F2 U L2 B2 R2 F2 R2 U2 D L2 D' // solved(22)

found the finish thanks to:
F2 U B2 U' B2 U' // 2e2e+slice

and at 53 I got this 9+4, and had barely any time to look at it since I still hadn't explicitely written down the 22 I submitted, but it's 22 optimal so all good:
(L D) R L' U
(U2 F' D2 L) // 2c4(9)

(L2 B D2 L')

+3 for 20

"Oh this RZP is bad, but let's solve DR anyway"

(R' U2 B D' L')

B (L2 B' D2 B')

5 moves for each step until leave slice

Couldn't find the 21 on the original 9+3

R B L2 F' R' // 4b2(10)
L2 F2 U2 B (U' D' F2 U' D' L2 B2 L2 F U2 F2 D2 B2) // hot garbage(24)

DR is 23 optimal, but wtf are those:

Also looked at:

U R U2 L' D // 2c3(10), 23 possible from the set

Somehow missed the 22-optimal 11+3

nice setup to almost a 5-move 4e3c trigger, which turned out to be a 6-move one
