[brandbest1]

Times: 9.74, (10.31), (7.92), 8.76, 9.90

Thanks so much to Daniel Karnaukh (Derpy Cuber) for footage of solves 2-5!

Pretty good scrambles; hopefully this average will be harder to beat

The 8.76 could've been easily WR single, but I messed up

Done at Fantastic Manhattan Competition 2016.

Deciding on what?

Deciding on what?

Apparently the scrambles were on the table when he was solving.

All results from that round were disqualified.

E: Not the case, see below

All results from that round were disqualified.

Did this happen to any of the other events? It's not a problem that could be unique to just square-1.

Really sorry for Brandon, but you just can't have uncovered scrambles this close to the competitors.

It was unique to just the final round of SQ-1.

Actually this isn't the case yet, they are simply being held back from publishing for further investigation.
