nah, just because the judge was a bit lazy that shouldn't have an impact. WCA shouldn't be that strict. When you know you're judging all 5 solves it's not that bad to just sign all 5, though I personally would sign all 5 in a row after the whole thing, but wellIt doesn't matter who the competitior is. the judge can't put his/her initials in all the spots first off, because then any time could get written in and be made official.
really? I always though you'd only need to sign the score card if it is +2 or DNF. But well I haevn't been to a comp in nearly a year, so maybe it changed.people seem to not realise that the competitior should have sgnd the score card too after he finished the solve
Exactly!!!even more: try to do 5tps while improvising an optimal solution (which is usually not fingertrick-friendly) including an execution mistake (which usually leaves you staring at the cube for at least half a second) and saying "OHAI, I'MA SOLVE A DIFFERENT SIDE NOW" (it also takes time to decide if it's worth it, if he did that decision) - speedsolving ain't free jazz, to quote corny.
If as stated by one of the Mexican cubers that the judge seems totally legit it might've been a prepared solve. He saw his cube and score-card lying somewhere so he just took his cube scrambled it a certain way and then did his execution!
