I don't believe there have been any successful attempts yet. If someone get a successful solve I will consider adding the rankings to this sheet

The sheet now has all 1 year+ on it that I could find online. If anyone knows of any other solves that have been successfully completed, please let me know!

I am currently working on a google sheet to track delayed blind solve rankings and world record history! I have linked the sheet in the original comment in this thread and here. If the sheet is missing any results, please contact me at [email protected] (I dont check the forums often so...

super fun challenge! I plan to make a more in-depth video on this later :)

nice :)

Today I completed the execution portion of my attempt, completing a 5 year delay blind solve :)

Registration is live! Hoping to make this the largest regional championship in the USA! Website can be found here

Just for some context: 1. At this point in the competition we were ahead of schedule 2. I had already gotten poor results and wasn't going to be getting any good results for this average. I was just hoping for a good scramble for attempt 5 to potentially get a PR single (this wasn't...

TLDR clock is the only speedsolving event where you cannot place the puzzle on the mat in any orientation :P

Split screen can be used to allow for multiple cubes to be scrambled at once :)

Tapping a NFC chip on a scanner is probably faster than signing, but even if it is slightly slower than those delays will be made up for at the competition stations since the need to write times and sign are completely eliminated.

Not every single speedstacks/qiyi display would need to be replaced. The regulations would ideally be updated to continue allowing competitions to be run with scorecards, while also allowing for TimeBase to be used.

As a delegate, I would be much more comfortable with this system than the current system as soon as it can be demonstrated to work without any serious flaws. There are far fewer places for errors to be made using a system like TimeBase

Timebase is a new timer display being developed by Calvin Nielson and Dan Pastushkov which will allow competitions to run faster and better! It allows competitions to run without scorecards which means no more DNFs due to missing signatures, no more badge judge handwriting, no more lost...

It looks like the change worked and the WCA was able to get back in favor with the Chinese Communist Party https://forum.worldcubeassociation.org/t/return-of-wca-competitions-to-china/39721/1
