That's a +2Is it illegal for the cube to fall on the timer/timer then lap after releasing it?

if it's touching the timer after it stops that's a plus 2, but if it hits the timer on the way down it's too hard to tell if it hit it or not, so that's fine.Thank you guys! So if it touches the timer its okay, it just cant touch me.
It doesn't have to be argued. It's written clearly in the guidelines:Looks like the lap could possibly be argued to be a +2. I thought I had seen something in the rules before about puzzles on timers but I am either mistaken or just missed it.
- A6e) After releasing the puzzle, the competitor must not touch or move the puzzle until the judge has inspected the puzzle. Penalty: disqualification of the attempt (DNF). Exception: If no moves have been applied, a time penalty (+2 seconds) may be assigned instead, at the discretion of the judge
(Disclaimer: I am not a delegate)
The penalty for the cube touching the timer isn't in the regulations any more, anyway if I recall correctly, that was only for starting the solve, not stopping it.if it's touching the timer after it stops that's a plus 2, but if it hits the timer on the way down it's too hard to tell if it hit it or not, so that's fine.
hmmm. I know there was a penalty for it touching the timer after the solve, but I'll check for this year.It doesn't have to be argued. It's written clearly in the guidelines:
- A6e+) CLARIFICATION If the puzzle falls into the lap of the competitor after stopping the timer, this is considered touching the puzzle.

That has never been a penalty.hmmm. I know there was a penalty for it touching the timer after the solve, but I'll check for this year.
I swear I've been told that there would be a +2 if that happened. Guess not.That has never been a penalty.
WCA regulations says it is not cheating - excerpt from there:Is it cheating when you corner twist when unsolvable
Not only "should" you say them, you're REQUIRED to say them.If I am a judge, should I say the 8/12 seconds alert? Or is it considered rude because the competitor is trying to concentrate?
What the others have said is right, but keep in mind you call have to the times out until the solver has started, after that, you don't call them anymore. And if they have their hands on the stackmat, you still call itIf I am a judge, should I say the 8/12 seconds alert? Or is it considered rude because the competitor is trying to concentrate?

He's saying that since you have a WCA profile, you should know the regs.thanks everyone!
