I intend to make your responses into a Youtube Video, using the robotic Text to speech, It doesn't even have to be about a solve it could be a funny moment that happened to you, My channel is called Kendrick Cuber.
Nice job - you're a perfect example of a truly awesome judge. I'm sure the competitor was quite thankful for how you handled it.This kid... This kid then proceeds to reach for the cube in the competitor's hand. He managed to gets his hand on it before I had to physically push his hand away. I didn't want to touch the kid, but I mean... he was going for it. Both his hands were poised for the cube. and he wasn't slowing down.
Lol thanks, but I think the competitor handled it a lot better. I was fuming inside tbh lolNice job - you're a perfect example of a truly awesome judge. I'm sure the competitor was quite thankful for how you handled it.
Why was it a DNF?I was judging 4x4 once, the competitor had a camera propped up against another cube to film his solve. The guy at the other end of the table finished his solve and slapped the timer hard, and the camera fell down. The guy I was judging, without thinking about it or missing a beat, grabbed his camera, propped it back up, and finished solving. I really hated giving him a DNF, I think it would have been the best counting solve of the average, around 1:30 or so.
2i2b) The competitor must not interact with (e.g. operate, hold, wear) any active camera. Exception: the competitor may wear a camera mounted on their head, as long as it is out of their sight and it is clear that they are not interacting with it (apart from wearing it).Why was it a DNF?
I feel so sorry for u famAt Euros 2018, I was solving during pyra semi finals and got a 2 on my first solve, which was pretty good for me at the time. The judge didn't sign the paper and we just looked at each other for a few seconds, and she said that my palms were not in the correct position when I stopped the timer. She gave me a plus two and since it was pretty busy and I was not very experienced in these situations (this was my 6th comp and I hadn't encountered things like this before), I just went along. I messed up most other solves because I got nervous (except for a super easy scramble), and I found out later that if I had not gotten the plus two, I would have made it to pyra finals at Euros. I have learned from this situation since that I should always ask for a delegate immediately and not sign if a problem occurs.
tbh your timer stop was probably bad. Most judges just don't call them, because it's hard to tell for sure unless it's super blatant. Not sure what a delegate could've done for you unless you could show video evidence.At Euros 2018, I was solving during pyra semi finals and got a 2 on my first solve, which was pretty good for me at the time.

It wasn't because it was super blatant. The judge said my palms were slightly curved. I stopped the timer the same as every other solve. With my palms down. There is not video evidence, so you may not believe me. I was, however, my fault for not knowing about not signing disputed solves. Now I know better.tbh your timer stop was probably bad.

Realize that you still have 7 seconds after the judge calls 8; start starting your solve at 12 if you still feel unprepared at 8. Also that you can dispute that if you know that you started inspection 2 seconds earlier.One solve (3x3)2 seconds in to inspection the judge 8 seconds so naturally I put the cube down. And I got 10 seconds over my average.
Well this one kid told me to get a sub 10 in the middle of my inspection.
