Narrowest Victory?

[CanadianPires]

I was just recalling the results of the Van Open 09 and how Ibrahim won by such a narrow margin. Just wondering if anyone remembers (or can link to) another competition with a very close podium. Anything closer than .02 seconds?

At TOW I was .02 seconds from making the 2nd round.

Just some examples.

Remember in case of equal average, the best single counts. Here's a tough case:

Or this (apparently we didn't have that rule back then):

Oh and here's the SQL code in case someone wants to try more:

Spoiler

select winner.competitionId, winner.eventId, winner.average winner, loser.average loser, winner.best, loser.best, loser.best-winner.best
from (select competitionId, eventId, average, best from Results where pos=1 and roundId in ('c','f') and average>0) winner,
     (select competitionId, eventId, average, best from Results where pos=2 and roundId in ('c','f') and average>0) loser
where winner.competitionId = loser.competitionId
  and winner.eventId = loser.eventId
order by loser.average-winner.average, loser.best-winner.best

select    competitionId, eventId, count(*) x
from      Results where pos=1 and roundId in ('c','f') and average>0
group by  competitionId, eventId
order by  x

Just 3x3? I remember there was some talk of either World's or a Berkeley/Stanford comp where an event was decided by .01.

Wow, that's unlucky. Perhaps here's a case where the stackmat timing inaccuracy is actually worth something. I wonder if the results would've been different if a QJ timer had been used.

Nope I just think the rule got added later.
I was just happy that I tied Ooms who taught me how to solve a magic 6 months earlier. The bad part was that we both missed the WR by 0.01.

This one? (Not at Berkeley or Stanford, but run by the same people)

 

[~Phoenix Death~]

It's not .02, but Erik once almost got WR on Megaminx by .45.

this was just 0.01 in the single to decide who came first in the first round.
