Huge congrats to Rami, well deserved double WRs. I really like the WCA Board way of deciding lately, kudos for them as well.

wat.. I didn't really expect this to happen Congrats! And it shows that honesty always pays off at some time

So, what if I was the scrambler for Feliks' WR and intentionally scrambled it wrong?
If he gets a WR it should be DNF'd because of it being scrambled wrong, right?
Seems like an easy way to sabotage people if we go with your "follow the regs". You can't prove that I intetionally scrambled it wrong.

This is why I think there should be a place on the scorecard for the scrambler to acknowledge that the scramble is, indeed, correct. That way if something came up and the scramble was found to be incorrect, the scrambler would immediately be held liable for the entire thing.

I do think Craig raises some good points about this whole WR thing. I'm not sure how many people have really thought about those questions.

Everything that was a world record in 2011 has now been replaced.

Where do you know from?

Nice one Rami

WCA members and delegates have obviously discussed this to some length and I agree with this, mostly. However, I do feel uncomfortable knowing that a world record exists where potentially an exception was made for a fast solver and where it is known for sure that the competitor got a look of the cube before arriving at the station. There's no telling whether not having that quick glimpse beforehand would have lead to the same outcome.

What about the child who told Rami? The notice said no info about his ban.

GJ very happy for you, honesty pays off

What about the child who told Rami? The notice said no info about his ban.

The board and WDC operate independently - I'd imagine that a WDC announcement will be coming at some point.

Kudos to Rami for the honesty and congratulations on the double WRs. I'm not sure I could have been that honest. With widespread cube stealing coming into the light, its glad to see someone (relatively famous) trustworthy.

 

[That70sShowDude]

I'm really glad this counts. Congrats Rami!

 

[RicardoRix]

Congrats Rami, well deserved. A very tough and a good decision by the WCA.

Congratulations, Rami!

I hope that something small happens to the kid that caused this.


I think there should be some regulation changes on cheating prevention and scrambling groups.

SAY WHAT?

I don't believe it...

 

[theROUXbiksCube]

Congratz Rami! lol i forgot to say it in previous post

 

[Ordway Persyn]

GJ you deserve this after being honest about getting a glimpse at the cube from another competitor, on top of being good at 2x2.

And what are you going to do? Ban them for scrambling wrong?
