[NAR] Brandon Lin 13.05 Official Square-1 Average

[brandbest1]

I honestly think that there should be some solid regulation on this. This problem has pissed me off so many times at my last few competitions, and was given a DNF for all of those failed attempts.

 

[Kian]

Brandon asked me to clarify my decision to not award another solve. He asked me about this attempt during the competition and showed me video of his solve on his camera, which I was happy to do so as to perform my due diligence. From that view I could not be certain that the error rested in the timer and not in his stopping procedure. Because of that, he was not awarded another solve.

One may disagree, especially with the image slowed down/stopped and blown up, but that was the course of action I choose with the evidence I had. I cannot speak to the decisions of other delegates at Worlds or otherwise but I am sure they also did the best they could with the evidence afforded them. I believed I applied the rules for incidents (Article 11) correctly.

You did the safe thing, so people shouldn't be angry with you. I'm angry with the timers, it shouldn't be up to a delegate it just shouldn't be a problem. Did speedstacks refuse to refund? We only have gen2s in Australia so we haven't had this problem.

I really don't want to go back to gen2 timers, it always had a bit of inaccuracy and might lean towards times like .96 (popular magic single, before pros) and not other surrounding times as much. Pros obviously dont do this nearly as much (might be +-.002 or something small at most).

Oh god, I feel so sad about that high 8 I wish you better luck at next comp

 

[ilikecubing]

Brilliant tps and solves. the timer fails are sad

Btw how many of them had parity?

 

[rock1313]

I feel so bad for that DNF, average would have been insane.

Amazing effort :tu

I think only the first solve had parity lol

 

[arvind1999]

Awesome!
Would have been better if the timers hadn't failed so badly! :/

What a very productive afternoon.

 

[Mikel]

Awesome!
Would have been better if he stopped the timer correctly! :/

ftfy

 

[XTowncuber]

There is absolutely no way you can blame this on him. He placed both hands flat on the timer exactly as the regulations specify. An older timer would have stopped.

 

[pjk]

Congrats. Such a shame on the DNF. The timers are terrible, but unfortunately it is the best reasonably available atm.

 

[stoic]

Good job.
Lol at smack smack in the reconstructions

 

[brandbest1]

Thanks everyone!
