He said it during my solve
He meant that my cube wasn’t in the area of getting captured by the camera, and then started talking about the guy next to me solving, saying things like: oh whoa you’re popping off. He’s crazy bro. And after the solve I told him he shouldn’t talk during the solve and he said my bad bro, I’m new this is my first comp. I thought about reporting it but just decided not too.
In this case, I can only hope he learned his lesson
This definitely warrants an extra. By no means should the judge be distracting you in that way, especially during inspection and the solve. This falls under regulation 11a1, and there have been thousands of instances of a competitor being distracted by someone else, and extras being given.
Yes, I didn’t ask for one bc I was worried that I would actually get dnfed since he was influencing my solve, I started bringing my squan closer to the table
There’s nothing that prevents you from doing the solve, then asking for an extra after. It makes your results “safer” and it allows the delegate more options in how to handle the incident.
It happened to me before, at 3x3 OH. there were two friends at a table (for two competitors ofcourse) and he said to that friend "wajow hij is snel" which means "wow hes fast" but i didnt had too much distraction, even tough i wanted to tell him to be silent
Honestly I think you should get suspended from the WCA for a bit if you are caught doing that. I understand it is a kid, but they must understand that judging is serious thing and you can ruin another competitor's day by doing that.
That’s way too extreme.
Ik, but still
