But until judges let me do it, i think it's ok.Their work is to say what is right to do and what is wrong to do.

I don't understand. Admittedly, I always use the ends of my fingers, but from the video it looks pretty clear to me that his (Massimiliano Iovane's) fingers (only the parts of the fingers closest to the palm, but it's still the fingers) are in fact touching the sensors. So why isn't this legal?

I suppose it's possible that the angle is making it look like his fingers are touching the timer when in fact they are not, but I certainly wouldn't consider this video clear evidence of a +2. Am I misinterpreting the rules?

OF course it's legal, i used that way to put hands on stackmat at European chamopionship and world championship and it was ok.

Actually, Kanneti's solve isn't illegal because you're not required to have fingers touching the sensors when stopping the solve - only when starting the solve.

ok my fault this time
