Looks like the judge only checked three sides.

Because he kinda flipped over the cube when he was done to check it himself?

You're not supposed to touch the cube until the judge has fully inspected it, plus if you watch the video back she didn't look at him as he picked the cube up. In theory, you could spot an unsolved +-center and pocket the unsolved cube as the judge is signing the scoresheet and no-one would be any the wiser.

I guess you're right.. That being said, you can see on the video when he flips it over that this is not the case, so all is well

It's still annoying to see these judge mistakes at good solves (same with 41/41 Maskow). I don't find it very hard to judge BLD events correctly if you have read the regulations, still too many people seem to have problems with it imo ...
Great solve, congratulations!
