What exactly happened with the timer failure?

Video review can easily confirm his time.
I agree. Video review can easily confirm his time. He should be world champion. All respect to Max however.
It can confirm that it would've been the best solve of the average, but the time itself cannot be confirmed with the WCA's required precision and accuracy, as the display lags a bit. Besides, this is the way timer resets have always been handled in the past. I don't necessarily agree that it's the right way, but consistency is key. Maybe this drastic example of a timer reset will be the push the WCA needs to come up with a better way of handling them in the future, but any changes made couldn't be retroactive.

6. Rami Sbahi DNFs his 2x2 average and did not proceed to semi finals.Biggest shockers:
1. Lucas Etter fails to make the final for 2x2 after winning the first two rounds
2. Seung loses the 3x3 championship title by timer failure
3. Feliks strikes out in 3x3
4. Juliette Sebastien (one handed master) strikes out big time and fails to make finals after finishing 9th in the 1st round
5. Kian Mansour, after winning the 1st 3x3 round with 6.86, caves in the 2nd round of 3x3 and doesn't advance
Actually you can calculate the EXACT time. You ignore the timer entirely. You simply use the frames of the video. The frame counting is ultra-accurate to within 1/30 of a second (0.03 seconds).
7.5. Seung got a resolve but Sebastian didn't?
I think that was Uwe Mefferts.The ceremony was - to say the least - a bit weird.
I would say there's not a single photo of the winners without the "man in black" on the podium.

That's a paddlin'Actually you can calculate the EXACT time. You ignore the timer entirely. You simply use the frames of the video. The frame counting is ultra-accurate to within 1/30 of a second (0.03 seconds).
Do we know that he actually hit reset? These timers are ****, there have been times when o rings have been used and the timers have still reset. It happens, these timers just aren't fit for purpose.What happened to Seung Hyuk Namh is very unfortunate and I feel for him. However, there is no other way to handle competitors literally hitting the reset button given the current timer.
At this point, you just simply have to not hit the reset button. This is competitor error. They DNF people for false starts and violations they can control in other kinds of events, too.
Sorry to see this happen to him at such an important point, of course.
Time for goals I guess:
2x2: sub 2.5 average yeah 2.14, placed me 9th that round lmao
3x3: sub 8 single, sub 9 average lol nope
4x4: pb average, may not happen though lol nope
5x5: sub 1:20 average pls yeah, surprise 1:12 avg
6x6: borrow firstian's cube and lookahead properly used my aoshi, counting 3:09 because pops
7x7: sub 4 mean yup
Mega: decent average, make finals? though very unlikely failed again, would've made finals with a decent avg
Pyra: don't fail, but at this point I know it's gonna happen I actually turned decently. missed finals and NR avg by a +2 though
Sq1: sub 12 average, make finals? but again unlikely finals but no sub 12
Skewb: sub 5.5 lol no
3BLD: sub 30!! make finals yes for both! NR mean too. the sub 30 should've been faster but oh well
Big BLD: don't do terribly, a 4BLD PB would be great but highly unlikely. placing top 5 would be nice DNFs
MBLD: hoping for a random PB out of the blue nah but 8th is cool
Don't fail others failed quite a lot
Meet, talk, race and take photos with lots of people should've spoken to more people ugh
Been looking forward to this for a while My cubing skills are quite rusty so I probably won't achieve many of my goals, but I know it's gonna be a great comp. See everyone there!
