I've managed a solve in under 21 seconds this week and managed to get some AO5 under 30!
My lookahead game is improving

Congrats :)
If you use CFOP, do you know full PLL? OLL?
I'm interested 'cause I do same times as you.-
Not full no. I know most of them but I gave up when I felt like I had enough to get good times.
I do know full PLL
Dot cases I don't know in OLL. I just do a fat Sexy on them and then I can go from there.
I guess I could do with sitting down and learning those when I have one of those mornings when my IBS gets me up at 6am and nobody else will be up until 10...

Slow solves have helped me drastically improve my look ahead though, and taking time to plan my cross. That was hard to start with, I'd plan 3 edges and wing the last one but that took time I didn't need to lose.
This week I've been planning my cross fully and even occasionally (on easy ones) planning my first pair. When I say that, I mean I'd have a pair in mind to start with, but not quite what the orientation of the pair will look like yet.
So next steps are planning first pair into my cross (and learning dot cases I guess).
Do you know full PLL/OLL?

Where can I find Sum Of Ranks (SoR) WCA world ranking?
Yestherday, Luke Garrett became #1 in the world for Sum Of Ranks average. In his youtube video, we can see a SoR ranking web page.
Do you know which site is it from please?
-
Not the same website, but you can calculate here: https://cubingapp.com/calculate-sum-of-ranks/

Based on the screenshot, it reminds me of this website that also gives you end of year review of your WCA results. That one was a Chinese website that I can't remember right now (I originally found it shared on Reddit)
-
"Chinese" was a good clue! I found it.
Ranking is here: cubing.com/results/statistics/sum-of-ranksThank you @thisisdee :)

"Cubing Competitions Near Me" tool
Until yesterday, we could find the closest WCA competitions to our home (or any location and sorted by distance) with a tool on CubingApp.com. All we had to do was fill in the latitude and longitude.
Today I contact Spencer Chubb (the owner of the website) about this, and few hours later he had improved it: now we just have to fill in the field with a city!
It works perfectly and easier to use!Find a WCA competitions near you: cubingapp.com/competitions/
Thanks to Spencer to listen to suggestions, and congratulations to him on his responsiveness.
He's a very nice guy.

My nephew joined his first comp over the weekend and did really well! Second fastest newcomer in 3x3. Excited for future comps and for him to (very quickly) become faster than me.
