Feliks had a cube drop and would otherwise have won the round though.kian mansour just won the first round with a 6.86 average, so i have high hopes for him

What does Felik's carry his groceries in? A zembag.Only the Final round matters! GOOOOO FELIX ZEMBAGS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Congrats to Max Park (1st), Seung Hyuk Nahm (2nd), and Lucas Etter (3rd)!
(Seung actually got a 6.15, but there was a timer reset. If it had counted, he would've won )
RIP Feliks, no podium after 2 wins
LOL what was the song?Feliks won at best song choice though (most other songs were really bad).
The darth vader theme.LOL what was the song?
I think the WCA should add to their regulations, 'If a timer malfunction occurs, if a video was taken and/or there was 1 or more trustworthy witnesses, the video will be analyzed/the witnesses will say what the last time they saw was, and in the case of a video, they'll slow it down as much as possible, to find the most accurate time, and add 0.1 seconds. For when there are witnesses, they'll find the average of the witness' times, and add 0.1 seconds.' I realize there are some problems with that, like for example, it's unfair if no one trustworthy saw it, and maybe the people are wrong or lying, but I think it's better than the alternative.Indeed I felt terrible for Seung. That timer malfunction was not cool. I almost think they should just re-analyze the video and take the time from that.

Isn't a timer malfunction grounds for a replacement solve?

Hmm, true.The much better alternative is having O-rings. Your rule is way too vague and unfair. On top of the fact that your essentially giving people that film their solves an advantage, if even one person cheats the system due to the 'trustworthy eyewitness' rule, I'd rather have all timer resets count as DNFs. Even if we used timers that literally just randomly reset 1/20 solves for no reason, at least that's fair in a sort of way, where as your rule is to vague an subjective.
I guess so. No rules are perfect though.If this regulation were implemented, it would be way too hard to tell if the timer was reset on purpose just to get a resolve. The other issue with this is the display lag. Timer displays are always off by a notable amount, so you can't use video evidence or random people saying, "I think it was..." because even if they're correct with what it displayed, what it displayed is itself incorrect.
Nah, Feliks for the win (or Bill)!So it is time to discuss who will win worlds in 2019.
I think Seung will take his revenge.
