Magic solving between official solves?

[Erik]

Hi,
In magic you are always allowed to do a few warm-up solves on the stage timer after the judge called you, it's commonly known I think.
I noticed a lot of cubers, (especially the hungarian guys) don't only solve it before the competition solves but sometimes do like: solve, then 5 non-official solves, then say ok and do the 2nd official solve of the avg, then do another 10 non-official solves (not using the timer though, only pressing it very short so it doesn't start).
I wonder if this is allowed, it seems quite strange to me. I know it's ok to flatten your magic or like: make a ring out of it and stretch the strings back in good position again, but this is kinda weird and very time consuming (if everybody would do this of course ).
Just wondering

i've done one/two unofficial solves between my official ones. i think the judge just asked if i wanted to... so i said why not. just as well as one was a DNF and the other was a very bad time! as long as there is so confusion between whether it is an official solve or not, i can't really see the harm in it tbh.
