First of all, I'm of course very happy with the third place, and huge congrats to Jan for triple woaj and a sub21, and to Niklas for a double nr. Overall a 22.00 mean with 1.33 missed is decent, especially considering my official solving was quite rusty with previous comp being Euros, but it still felt quite washed on my part. On a1 I missed an obvious 19 from an htr i had since 15 minutes, on a2 I made a mechanical error which cost me 2 moves and on a3 I missed a dr in 9 which just happened to be worse than an 11mover i stumbled into. The scramble set also contributed to this comp not feeling the greatest with each one having only 1-2 eos that had at least something good and a combined total of 15 sub5 eos for 3 scrambles is stupid.

(L' U2 L2 U2 L2 U2 L') // 7-2/21

But i have no idea how i missed this from the original htr, and how i never returned to it after having this 21 since 15 minutes:
...
(L B2 R')
(U D B2 D2 F2 U' D') // 7-2/19 by just straight forward solving the UD layers, you don't even need to find this as E slice

Very disappointed in myself for missing this, but ig it's at least not an 18

Also found this slice in 23 with 5 mins left but it was at least +1(which it in fact is and opt from both dr vars) so i decided to not risk rewriting my backup:
(R U' F2 R' D)
(R) L2 F R' F R
(B' L2 B') U2 L2 B
R2 D2 F2 L2 U2 D2 F2 // 23 S

My only other sub12 drs were:
B D2 F2 R' F
D2 L2 U B2 D' L // 11 0c0 6e, all of sub25's are 4q but could've found this realistically, just didn't try switch after 4a1 2e reduction on inverse:
L U R2 L2 D R2 D R2 F B D2 B' F D' (14)

L D' L B' R'
F B D R2 F' U // 11 4b4 with 5c

On my sheet i had 79 eos written down, and THE ONLY one that I wrote down wrong was this one(I wrote D' instead of D and didn't notice while spamming):
(R' D L' R2 U)                     // eoud       (5/5)
                                   // rzpfb-eoud (0/5)
(R2 D2 U2 B D2 L)                  // drfb-eoud  (6/11)
(D2 B' D2 R2 D2 U2 B R2 B2 L2 R2)  // fin        (11/22)

(R' D L' R2 U)                        // eoud      (5/5)
(F' B' L2 F D2 L')                    // drfb-eoud (6/11)
(D2 F' R2 F2 U2 R2 D2 B R2 D2 U2 F2)  // fin       (12/23)

There is this other 22 but kinda hard as well, didn't have jzp:
D (L2 B' U')                   // eoud      (4/4)
L B                            // arfb-eoud (2/6)
(F' L2 D2 L2 R2 F)             // drlr-eoud (6/12)
(U2 R' U2 L D2 R2 U2 F2 R D2)  // fin       (10/22)

For a while i only had the 2 variations starting with U2 on inverse and only realised you could start with auf at 45 mins, had this since 20 minutes:
(L') F2 U F' R
(U2 F B' D' F' U) // 11 4b2 4e
(B' R2 U2 F')
(L2 D2 R2 L2 F2) // 20 S, +2

Other:
U2 R (F2 L)
L2 U (B2 R2 U B2 U) // 11 4a1 0e, a rare subset third solve in a row lol

(B' L U D R)
(F' D F2 R2 U B) // 11 4b4

(B' L' U D R')
(B) U D R2 D F // 11 4b3

For some reason i didn't write down eos on normal starting with U' from which there was a 9 4c3 with 8c8e, luckily it is only 21 opt but still a skull moment:
U' D' R' F L                   // eolr      (5/5)
R2 U R2 F' B'                  // drud-eolr (5/10)
R2 U R2 U L2 F2 D2 F2 U L2 B2  // fin       (11/21)
