This is why I don't believe in leaving your other hand on the timer, there is a high chance of it stopping early.

That's what EB told me after my 1st solve so I decided to not do it for the rest

EB as in Elijah Brown

I am amazed that 3rd solve actually counted.

Why? What happened?

 

[ender9994]

Why? What happened?

• A6d) The competitor must stop the Stackmat timer using both hands, placed flat on the sensors with palms down. Penalty: time penalty (+2 seconds).

Oh, I just put it in slo-mo and saw.

I'll talk to a delegate about it!

I used to do it earlier, and that's why i stopped doing it later

Maybe hand warmers can help control nerves?

Is there a reason why people hold the second hand on the timer? I never understood this but quite a lot of cubers do that.

I usually have the hand somewhere else, on or under the table but nowhere, where I could accidentally stop the timer.

I would guess it's to stop the timer faster/easier as you only have to move your solving hand to the timer, but it probably doesn't make much of a difference (and as we've seen here can cause accidental stops).

Eh. That is just what it looks like to me. I would get other people's opinions as well because they might interpret it differently than me.

im not great at OH, only average like 40 seconds, but I do it cuz I think it saves time. It also helps to fight the urge to use the other hand. idk if it helps but I like it quite a bit. Plus, it helps me cuz it's a consistent place so Im not searching every time

He said he'll talk to a couple other delegates for their opinions. Looks like a +2 to me.

That's what I do.

I used them later in the competition when Nate Minkevich let me borrow his lol

Hello! I made a video asking you guys if you think this is a +2! Please watch it and give your thoughts! I'll make a seperate thread to discuss this also.
