Good change. Negligible to no effect on your average unless you're world class or sliding.

weird fact: on 2 pad, i can downsolve a 4 mover to about 0.26. On 4 pad with a 1 mover, i cant even break the current WR

I believe that you can stop a g5 timer with just the normal 2 padswait this might suck for bld, and also for sprint events

No, stops are 4 pads as well

Thankfully I already switched to 4-Pad a quarter of a year ago. Nice to see an actually good WCA decision for once cough cough.

I mean I just disagree. Most Monkey League competitors are getting medians at the same speed or sometimes faster than their big competition averages. 4pad clearly isn't slowing down even the fastest 3x3ers, so any event slower than 3x3 will surely also be barely, if at all, effected.

Well then, I'm cooked. Bld is cooked. Anyone with a Non-G5 is cooked. This stinks. (I see why they made this rule, but... REALLY?!)
