Wow, I was waiting to see this video.
PD: It's not easy to stop the timer so quickly (?), lol
I think competitions in Finland there has been a rule that 0.02 or 0.03 is a timer malfunction and sup that is a competitors fault and therefore no additional attempt.
It would be nice if someone could tell me what is the time limit for that?
is it a coincidence that 3x3x3 WR's get recorded on my camera and published on Erik's youtube channel?
I hate to say it, but I really think tomasz accidentally stopped the timer with his forearms on the 2 "malfunctions" :/ .15 is not a timer error, its a user error. There needs to be a clear rule on what is a malfunction what is not.
I dunno about the timer malfunctions. Later on I wanted to test the timer and probably started and stopped it 100 times. Not a single error. I think hickups above 0.03 are not the timer but the starters fault. Either way, even if it was human error then I am 100% sure it was because Tomasz' hands were 'kinda' shaky.
11f) The main judge and WCA delegate must not support their decisions with video or photograph analysis.
Based on the regulations, what's done is done... right?

Hmm... makes me wonder again: Do we know for certain how the stacktimer actually works? Pressure? Temperature? Electric flow? Electromagnetic field? Something else? Has speedstacks published what they're using? I just checked out their site and couldn't find any information regarding this...some of the timers have strange ability to stop without touching them
yes it's soo true. In Wrocław Open In 1 timer We Can Start it without touching it just putting hands near timerthey stop when u just move yours hands close enough.

This rule ought to be reworded. So many people still don't understand that the the WCA board is not the main judge or the WCA delegate and thus can use videos/photos. Seems like every incidence someone pulls out this rule, misunderstanding/misrepresenting it.
