It'd be less time consuming for a delegate/organiser to enter an FMC solution into a system and have it automatically checked.
I think you are wrong here. How long do you take to type over a solution into the computer? It'd be max the same speed I estimate.
Would the time/effort to create a system that analyses the solution, beyond simply checking whether it solves the puzzle, outweigh the combined time/effort of people manually checking solutions all over the world?
I don't think so and even if it would, how would you program it?
What is wrong with the current way? Is 10-15 minutes of checking really that much of a burden for you?
Why not? If you didn't have time at the competition, why not ask a few fast people to do it right after it? And regardless of this, why don't you try the approach mentioned before out in the future, but instead keep arguing in favor of your approach?Preferably not. I don't even see why this is under discussion as it isn't the point of this thread. If I was a delegate in Europe with lots of good FMCers I would ask some of them to assist with the judging process. The reason we didn't get help at this competition is because we were flat out, and concerned about various factors which we hadn't dealt with before.
You might call it name calling and rudeness. I might call it honestly and bluntness. I guess it depends on the sort of person you are how you see it. If you feel this makes me an unworthy delegate then perhaps you should talk to the Board. If they feel I should step aside then I'll respect their decision. Regardless, this is not the appropriate place to have such a discussion so it ends here now. If you wish to continue this topic I suggest you choose a different medium.
Are we talking in different languages? Or is calling someone a moron not namecalling? Defending your behavior is maybe even worse than the behavior itself. If you do continue this behavior I will contact the board, yes. Let's stop discussing this here now.
