[WR] 4.86 3x3 Average by Max Park

If anyone still cares, it looks like the first video had a bad angle of the 4.78. There's pretty clearly time where he's no longer touching the cube before he's stopped the timer in his video.

Any thoughts on the 4.78?

Max seems to still be touching the cube with his left index finger when he stops the timer.

  • A6c) The competitor must fully release the puzzle before stopping the timer. Penalty: disqualification of the attempt (DNF). Exception: If no moves have been applied after stopping the timer and before releasing the puzzle, a time penalty (+2 seconds) may be assigned instead, at the discretion of the judge.
No Look at this regulation's exception.

A6e2) Penalty for touching the puzzle after stopping the timer without applying any moves: time penalty (+2 seconds). Exception: if immediately after stopping the timer, the competitor briefly touches the puzzle without affecting its state, the time penalty may be lifted, at the discretion of the judge (see Regulation 11f).
 
if WCA use tiebreaker,
Max is the current WR 3x3 average.
i think from now WCA should use 3 decimals instead of 2 decimals

Really nice result but this is 4.86(3). Tymon got 4.85(6):cool:

you got that right
even before averaging, if you
add the three solve times
to 2 decimal places . . .
Tymon = 14.57
Max = 14.59
what am I missing here?
shouldn't WR still be Tymon?
(for now lol)

Tymon still has WR average.

Look at this competition: https://www.worldcubeassociation.org/competitions/TCAChampionship2011/results/podiums
Peerawich Hiranpaphakorn got an average of 10.39(6) but he lost the competition to Piti Pichedpan who got slower time (10.40). That's WCA in a nutshell

I believe the third decimal has been proven to be inaccurate, which is why the wca doesn't use them.
 
also i think the reason why is that some comps use g2 timers which don't have last digits and will make the rankings have inconsistent amount of digits
 
Well, s__t. Before I slept I was telling someone that Max was focusing on big cube WRs and he's deluded for thinking Max could get 3x3 WR. And then i wake up to this.

Certified bruh moment.
Oh so I will tell someone that zayn's focused on skewb wrs and they're deluded for thinking he can break his own 2x2 wr, and then wake up to a 0.99 ao5?

Will try.
