The Craziest Square-1 Average of my Life… (7.70 PR Average, 5th in Australia)

Australian Nationals 2026, Round 1, Group 1 Pretty much everything about this average was wild. The amount of good U perms and EO skips (well rip solve 1 lol) I got, my turning on solves 1 and 4 (solve 4 was 4+ SPS!), the pop on solve 2, and of course going into the last solve counting a 6.23, 7.11, but still not having my WPA be sub-10. Oh yeah as unrealistic as it was had I actually gotten BPA, it would've been my stackmat overall PB average. Overall, as tragic as the last solve was, I'm glad that I at least held it together to still get a PR average. I'm also super happy with some of the solves before as they are some of the best I've ever done officially, and show that I've still got tons of potential to lower this average. This is now my highest ever NR ranking for Square-1 and it's also currently tied my 2x2 rank 🤯 As of 14/7/26 this ranks me: 5th in Australia 7th in Oceania 130th in the World Sponsored by Speedcube.co.nz!
