Silly Judges!

[Owen]

Let talk about silly mistakes you've seen judges at competitions make! (You know, the ones who've never read the regulations)

I'll start:

Once a judge tried to give me a +2 on a slice move! Silly judge!

(Please end all posts with "Silly judge!")

Me a silly judge i think. I gave Dan Cohen a +2 when he accidentally stopped the timer and he was holding the puzzle. The side was misaligned, so you could call that a +2 if he wasn't holding the puzzle.

Wasn't lucky enough.

A judge once told me that using the table as I do in OH is illegal, and he wanted to give me a DNF.

Silly judge!

I was scrambling once, and gave someone the same scramble twice. Also, someone asked me if I could scramble clock, and I replied "Yeah, I can scramble ****" on accident :fp, extremely embarrassing, came out of nowhere. I also let someone start solving (me being judge) and noticed halfway that the time was still registered from the previous time, because someone forgot to clear (my fault?). I had to tell him, "Dude, sorry man, DNF".

Silly Judge!

2 years ago a judge passed someones first comp solve as a normal time but it was a dnf from 1 flipped corner completly opposite of the judge. silly judge~

A judge once put the paper in front of me immediately after I started memo'ing. Them silly judges. ):

A while ago I was doing Pyraminx, and after I inspected and put the puzzle down the judge moved it like a foot farther away from me ;_;

Silly judge.

I was doing multiBLD, and had finished most of the cubes, when I decided I might have made a mistake, so I went to grab the cube I thought I had messed up on, and found that it wasn't there! The judge had moved the cubes, sorting them by which ones were solved and which ones were unsolved, moving them to another edge of the table.

Silly judge!

I was in the middle of a 4x4 solve and the judge decided that she would have a long conversation with me.

Silly judge!

At my first competition, I was judging blind. I took the cover off for him
Silly judge.

I have had more then one time a judge not count a +2 for me. Silly judge!

In my second competition I had to correct a judge on my pyraminx time. He read it as 2.37, I actually got a 8.37. Silly judge!

I had a pop and the judge picked up the piece for me. Silly judge!

In my second most recent competition I had a pop and stopped so I could take a DNF but instead the judge took it back and got me the same scramble. I didn't learn you could do this until I asked Mike during the Indiana Winter Open if I could get a rescramble. Silly judge.

That would make me rage! But I think that also due to the fact that I have never had a success.

I got a +2 on one solve in WC and the judge wrote is as a DNF. Silly judge!

 

[TheMachanga]

I was solving 7x7, when a piece popped across the table and to the floor. The judge was going to get it for me, but Bryan Logan gave him a death stare and said "Don't. Pick. It up."

0.o

That memory stuck with me.

 

[Nureaux]

I was super nervous and I was judging 3x3. I gave someone a solved cube, which even wasn't his!
Silly judge!

I did a 4:37.xx 6x6x6 solve at Nationals this year, the cut-off to finish the average was sub-4:30. My judge wrote my time down as a DNF, and we had a mini squabble about the fact that it wasn't a DNF, I just didn't get to do the full average. Sirry Judge!

 

[AustinReed]

I once was a U2 away. The judge looked very carefully at the cube, picking it up delicately and looking hard at it. He wrote DNF on my card.

Silly Judge!

I was about to begin my very first BLD solve in competition. I was concentrating very hard to clear my mind, and the judge thought it would be a good idea to have a conversation with me.
