Change in WCA official times

[Mike Hughey]

No big deal, but I just noticed that it looks like they've changed their times to round anything over 10 minutes (and therefore timed by a stopwatch) to the nearest second. Makes sense - I just never saw anything posted anywhere about it, so I thought I'd be the first to point it out. So Chris Hardwick is now the only person in the world with a big cubes BLD time that is recorded in hundredths of a second.

Let's change that, Mike .

Sounds good - but I have a feeling you're going to do it long before I do. As in, when's your next competition?

German Open, April, 19th. But i'll probably focus more on multi bld .

I assume Dennis will be there too - that should be quite a showdown! Good luck to both of you! (I can't wait to see the bidding war between you two - who will go for more?)

Just so you know, I am planning to get my Revenge against Tim at Berkeley. And I will have no choice but to have tested a few memo methods by then...

Also, see 9f2. (How did I remember this was in the Regs?)

Dan: Who were the really close people?

Revenge capitalized that way for a reason?

I think he was referring to himself and Rowe.

I thought I remembered something like that, but I didn't bother to look. All I know is that at some point in the past, I'm sure they had hundredths shown - at least, they did for my 4x4x4 solve, because I copied it into my text file where I keep track of all my big cube BLD solves, and I wouldn't have been able to get the number any other way.

I also thought I remembered something in the regulations about a cube with corners that you could twist in place being illegal, but I looked recently for that and couldn't find it. Is there such a regulation? How about the regulation some people have talked about with Magics being required to be double-strung?

I was referring to Rowe and you, lucas...
