Quite simple: their energy drinks are age restricted to 16+ in some countries and because these qualifier promote Red Bull, they also need to have the same age restrictions.

Quite frustrating results for me last weekend at Cubelonia 2016:
1 R' U' F L2 D2 R2 B2 U' B2 U2 R2 U B2 D L' U' B U' F2 U2 F' D2 L B' R' U' F
2 R' U' F L' F2 L2 B2 F2 L' D2 L D2 R2 B2 F L2 U B' R' F' L2 U' B R' U' F
3 R' U' F R2 D2 F' U2 L2 B2 D2 U2 L2 B' R2 D' R D' F' D2 B2 D2 L' D R' U' F...
Actually the ranking is quite similar, but the amount of competitions in this streak is totally different (I attached the rankings with only finals). For an example take Maria Oey: She attended 120 competitions without ever being on the podium. By only looking at (combined) final rounds for her...
This could be more interesting:
I was finally able to write a pb-streak script! :)
EDIT: I definitely believe this is much more accurate than the table before, please tell me if you can find any errors.
Here is your answer (kind of):
I enjoyed it more to look at longest streaks without podium. Look at the last row to see if it begins with the competitors' first competition.
Small note: I managed to also count competitions without finals by adding the first rounds of events. So there is a small...
This is totally true what you are saying, Reto :) And quite tricky to realize a method to avoid this. Actually there are 2 more competitions where this happened:
Euro2016
FMCEurope2015
MoratallaOpenRubik2014
This is only for means, for singles there are ~100 competitions with > 3 people in the...
Here is the answer for a request of Rob:
I listed the best top12 of the best fourth place for every event (except multi). By 'Current ranking' I actually mean the ranking of this results in the world rankings, not the current ranking of the competitor.
Also worth mentioning: This is not only...
This is totally correct, indeed it is the best results not on the podium:
A lot of German competitions in this ranking :p

I was quite interested in looking at sum of top3 in 3x3, because at PSKubing last weekend the averages of the second round were again better than the best results here:

This is why I made a ranking for the best sums. As you...
Yes this kind of destroys the ranking in my opinion, at least for 3bld. I did not see any other disqualified results, but in 3bld more like Dan Selzer is the "winner" because of Marcins' story.
