I figured as much but is this actually allowed?
theoretically he could memo a scramble and pass on the info to other finalists...

The only way you can absolutely prevent that from happening is either having everyone solve at the same time, or have none of the finalists talk to each other after they've done solves.
IIRC, regulations don't say that's not allowed, as long as everyone has competed in the previous round

In several comps I've been to the 3x3x3 finalist are in a seperate room and come out one-by-one and then solve 5 cubes in a row.
Just to avoid this.

Another update in 3x3 finals results on cubecomps. Has it started now?

And if Chris left right after he did those solves (which he probably did) then it would produce the same effect

No, it is the opposite effect:
leaving allows using cube explorer and texting of scramble.

Just thinking worst case here

 

[KongShou]

having them in separate rooms also allows using cube explorer and texting of scramble.

Yes, but allowing a finalist to solve far ahead of the others makes it easier.

Kids are all on smartphone or laptop all the time at their tables.

In a "finalist room" you could keep this under control.

8.07 Mo3 averages, hehe
also his last 12 solves were a 7.74 ao12

or you could trust people

plus it would be kind of stupid anyway because your solves would be really slow

i've done 3x3 finals early before and no one cared

can we not? people like this represent <1% of the cubing community as a whole...
And I think the assumption is that if you've made the 3x3x3 final you don't want to cheat and get an invalid result... :/

yeah but this is uk were torcking about

 

[amostay2004]
