Hey everyone!
Does anyone have the scrambles that were used in Skewb final round at Keep Portland Weird 2015?
I find it odd that I was the only person to get a sub 4 single in finals, but it's also odd how nobody else got really a decent time on the first solve.
I'm wondering if I got a mis-scramble or something because I'm definitely not superior compared to everyone else.
The 3.52 was on the first solve of finals.
Thank you guys!
-Riley

Yeah, that's definitely a misscramble.

Actual scramble: L R L U' B R' U' R' L R B
Your scramble: L R L U' B R' U' R' L R' B

This should serve as a warning to all scramblers to not check only a part of the puzzle, but actually check the whole thing. Due to the error being so close to the end, many of the pieces were still in their correct place.

Ah, that sucks. Should it be DNF'ed?
I think it should be a little more clear to the scramblers that they should check the entire cube. Also, I don't know if the judges were told about not touching the cube when checking out a +2, because I had a few occasions at the past competition, where the judge would pick it up and move it closer to him/her to see it, although I know it probably wouldn't hurt if I just reminded them, when it was close to a +2.

Judging by recent happenings, as long as the scramble you got was 'legal', it shouldn't.

Okay. It was 10 moves and I started/stopped the timer in the ways that I should have, so I think it should probably be legal, cause I can't control what scramble I get. However, if we found out it was a mis-scramble at the comp, I dunno if I would be given an extra attempt, with the 3.52 erased.

The amount of moves you solved it in doesn't matter. It needs to be 7 or more optimal. And obviously you wouldn't be given another attempt because the competition ended. If it ends up being 6 move optimal, it will be DNF'd, even though it's out of your control. (As you can see, I'm an expert on this :)

I think he meant that if the miscramble was discovered while the competition was still happening, would he get an extra attempt.

Yeah but this is 9 moves optimal
