Attempt 1

Scramble

R' U' F R B' L D2 L2 F2 U2 R' B2 D2 F2 R D B2 U' R D2 F R2 B2 R' U' F

Results

R2 L U2 D' F' L2 D2 B' U2 D2 B2 D2 B2 R2 L D2 L D2 L' D2 R' F R2 L2 F2

L R2 D' // EO (3/3)
(R2 L2 F) // JZP (3/6)
U2 F' L2 D2 B' // DR, 2c4 2e (5/11)

extend for better HTR case

L R2 D' // EO (3/3)
(F2 R2 L2 F') // JZP (4/7)
U2 F' L2 D2 B' // DR, 2c4 2e (5/12)
(R D2 L D2 L' D2 L') // HTR (7/19)
(R2 B2 D2 B2 U2 D2) // finish (6/25)

Panic solution, I was surprised that it is "just" 25 and not more.
The idea of extending was good cause best optimal from the 11 movers was 24 and 23 from extensions.
I had no time to rewrite slice (could have been 24).
Had no DRs to work with, this was truly the best I could find.
Probably I should have written and checked more 5 move EOs...
Tried switching a lot of rzps with hope but nothing.
Seems like I wrote down only useless 5 movers...
I'm not sure where the others found their good results tbh.
Mallard finds a 20 from a thing that I should have had.
My focus was lower than the other solves and I misscrambled a lot this attempt.

(R D2 L D2 L' D2 L' R2) = (R D2 R F2 L' F2 R) // Rewrite (-1/24)

L' F2 B2 U' // EO (4/4)
R' // DR-44 (1/5)
B U2 B2 L2 F' R' // DR, 2c3 2e (6/11)
U2 F U2 R2 [F U2 B'] // HTR and 2e2e (7/18)

[] = B' R2 F2 R2 F // solved (+2/20)

Attempt 2

Scramble

R' U' F R U2 B' U2 R2 B2 L2 B' R2 D2 B2 U R2 B U' R D B2 F2 R' U' F

Results

D' B2 L' B U' R2 U' D R' U F2 U' R2 F2 D' L2 B2 R2 B2 D2

D' B2 L' B // EO (4/4)
U' R2 U' D R' // DR, 2c3 4e (5/9)
[D R2 U' B2 R2 U' // HTR (6/15)
R2 F2 L2 F2 U2] // Leave slice (5/20)

[] = U F2 U' R2 F2 D' L2 B2 R2 B2 D2 // Slice (+0/20)

Only really good DR of the day and still I didn't get optimal (as almost everyone).

D' B2 L' B // EO (4/4)
U' R2 U' D R // DR, 2c3 4e (5/9)
F2 L2 D' R2 D L2 D' // HTR (7/16)
F2 L2 D2 // finish (3/19)

Attempt 3

Scramble

R' U' F R U R' D' F' B L' U' F2 U2 D2 R2 B2 R2 B' L2 B U2 L2 U R' U' F

Results

R2 U' L2 B2 D' R2 U F2 U F' B' D2 F' B2 R2 L2 D L2 B R' D2 F' R2

(R2 F D2 R) // EO (4/4)
(B') // DR-44 (1/5)
(L2 D' R2 L2 B) // DR, 2c4 4e (5/10)
R2 U' L2 B2 D' R2 U F2 U // HTR (9/19)
F' B' D2 F' B' // finish (5-1/23)

Seems like I get optimal from DR just on last attempt.
This was the worst scramble of the day and I kinda delivered and managed to get podium.
There are some 22 from the other variations, as always (but extensions so nah).

(R2 F D2 R) // EO (4/4)
(B) // DR-44 (1/5)
(R2 U L2 B2 R2 B') // DR, 2c4 4e (6/11)
(U R2 U F2 D' B2 U) // HTR (7/18)
(R2 F2 U2 F2) // finish (4/22)
