This thread should be moved to the official DNF subforum.

I didn't really laugh at the concept of this (It was funny though) What made my funny bone ache was Chris's reaction xD

Because he might disturb others. And because a WCA competition is no kindergarden and should be taken more serious.
Trust me, I have a very healthy sense of humor. Your existence and your posts on this forum regularily amuse me for example.
Excuse me that I'm not able to laugh about a grown up man finding himself extremely hilarious for faking a super fast BLD attempt (as if that was innovative in any way...), while I have seen at least a dozen of moronic children doing the same at competitions I have attended, most of the time disturbing others that prefer to take their solves serious.

I'm sorry if you didn't find it funny. He didn't hurt anything, so if you don't like it then just go watch something else.
Noahaha

I think it's worth noting that (as mentioned at the top of this thread) Walker was the last person doing blindfolded solves.

No. WCA competitions are supposed to be FUN. Pretty sure you missed that memo. Next.. I regularly amuse you? How wonderful, I try. I'll just I turn what I know you meant to be a diss into a compliment. Next: what do you mean you've seen this done before? And by dozens of kids? I suspect exaggeration. Last, just read the thread. Seriously. Just read it. He waited until everyone was done solving. He isn't an idiot, you realize.
I was judging it, and I certainly found it funny although my face didn't seem to say so. I'll shut up now.

I said "a dozen", not "dozens". I attended 102 competitions, you realize.

Fair enough. Even so, I've never heard of it happening.

If someone is indeed intentionally distracting other competitors by trolling or w/e, competitors who were distracted should report this to the delegate and then the delegate can disqualify them, according to 2k and 2k4 in the regulations. However, that was not the case here, so I don't see why this should be a problem.
2k) The WCA Delegate may disqualify a competitor from the competition (i.e. from all events of the competition) if the competitor:
(...)
2k4) Interferes with, or distracts others during, the competition.

I'll also mention that the delegate/organizer (Ilkyoo) found it funny also..

Maybe it's because I'm in a different age range, but I didn't honestly find this that funny, specially being done in an official attempt, but I can see how people may find it amusing. Proper regulations were attended and since Ilkyoo didn't see reasons to disqualify the competitor under 2k4) it's ok.
Goofy things like these should be reserved for the spectators area or a solving station but at a time when no competition is taking place, under risk of bothering people or misleading/belitteling/mocking the event.
Also, I think the title of the thread should be changed to be fair to others, or moved to off-topic.
PS: You have only 4 successes in 30 tries... What's wrong?

I know, read my "However, ..."
My post was meant for Sebastien, who said other competitors have done this, NOT at the end of a round.

It's a shame that this thread has gotten more attention than most genuine sub-30s in comp.

I guess A1c) would be applicable here as well.
"...A competitor competing with expectation of a DNF result may be disqualified from the event, at the discretion of the WCA Delegate."
Seeing as the delegate had no problem though, I guess its fine.
