Very chaotic round one, but super happy with the performance and the win in the final, very happy to share the first place with Louis-Marie and the podium with Rogo and Mauro

Thought this was a 24 backup until i wrote this down, oops

Missed the 9+2 on inverse of (D) R' F2 U which was very dumb. Also this is very findable, i had the jzp but didn't switch:
D' R F D F           // eofb      (5/5)
U'                   // arud-eofb (1/6)

Dumb miss of a 22 here, if you just do L D2 L' as htr trigger this is a direct 22 finish

Also this is probably the easiest 20 here, missed rzp:
R' L (F' R)                    // eolr       (4/4)
F                              // rzpud-eolr (1/5)

Also missed all the drs on inverse from (U L' F' L2 B) which give a 20, turns out i have a massive skill issue in setting up to L2 R U R"

Was really afraid there was a 20 here somewhere but apparently 21 is the best you can do on the scramble without swithcing rzp in 6 on a 4mover

20 eos checked

Very happy to have found this, when i saw 12 bad i immediately knew this was going to be a funny solve. Mallard finds another very reasonable 22 but no sub22s, so yay

Had this backup before switching 3c4e rzp:
D2 R (F2 R L)
(B’ U B’ F2 D2 B’ D’) // 12 2c3 2e with vibe rzp in 7
(B2 D2 F R2 B’ R2 B’)
(U2 L2 F2 D2) // slice in 23+1

Othe drs:
(R L) D2 R’
F2 B2 U B’ D’ F D // 11 0c3, of course it’s 0c3

(R’ D F L2 U)
(L U2 D2 R2 F’ R2 B) // 12 4a2 4e, somehow if you replace last 3 moves with (B2 F’ L) it’s also 4a2 4e but now on a different axis

Found this at like 20-25 minutes in the middle of eo checking, so the rest of the attempt was very chill, glad I avoided my customary panicky A3 when on a good pace. Somehow this is the best you can do on the scramble without switching rzp in 6 or doing rzp in 6 one one of a billion extensions of inverse R/L eo, so yay once again.
