[ER] Tomasz Zolnowski 3x3x3 9.87 avg

Good job, great average!

More people should be commenting on this great achievement. This makes him 2nd in the world! The sad reason why not too many people notice this is probably because Tomasz is not some famous Youtube cuber that likes to put his abilities out there that much (or at all). He's just good without having to draw attention to himself I guess.
 
Nice job, Zaba! As always, it was nice competing with you! :) I'm happy, that you used the Dayan for competing too. :P

Also, it's his pattern to set ER/WR averages before Euro/Worlds?! (11.43 ER before Euro2008, 10.07 WR before WC2009 and now 9.87 ER before Euro2010.)

This very much! However he doesn't need attention much, the cubers who matter know him. ;)

He is also the most modest cuber I've ever met. He is just pure talent, and that's it. He uses cross on left so smart, he saves moves and time at the same time. He also knows many OLLs, PLLs from a lot of angles.
 
Cross on left: :tu

Just to clarify though: His final solve was off by a quarter turn plus a small misalignment of a perpendicular layer. The WCA regulations (see article 10e) seem to be ambiguous here--was it correct to call that solve a penalty and not a DNF? It seems like article 10e3 was probably applied correctly here, but unfortunately this situation isn't listed in the "examples" under 10f. Can someone confirm or deny this?

(Of course, I am in no way suggesting that the solve should be called a DNF, especially because video evidence isn't allowed. In any case, the average isn't affected, since the solve in question was his slowest.)

Pretty sure, yeah. I think a 'turn' starts at 45 degrees, and he had his +2 turn along with a 15 degree misalignment, which doesn't count as a full turn. Correct me if I'm wrong, anyone?
