Congrats to Kevin, hope you get the 6x6 wr back soon!

Basically did this to alloy Feliks

Why is there nothing additional in the regs to settle tied averages one way or the other? I.e. fastest single, or fastest median time?

There are more tied averages than you'd expect, and the same is true for 6x6x6.

Edit: 66 people in the top 1000 people have a tied rank.

Edit2:

• 9f14) For "Mean of 3" and "Average of 5" rounds, if two or more competitors achieve identical average/mean results, rankings are assessed based on the best attempt per competitor, where "better" is defined as the shorter time.

This isn't applied on the WCA rankings for 7x7x7, seems like it's used to determine the winner of a single round in competition. Delegate plz clarify

Kevin just had to pick up his cube faster on any of the solves

Wouldn't the tied average go to the fastest single, so Feliks still holds it? (2:06.73 vs. 2:07.77).

They don't do that for actual rankings, only competition rankings.

The video of the 2:07.77

rip double parity and horrible gperm

 

[One Wheel]

He just needs a magnetic 7x7 to get the WR single.

No, this does not aply in the overall ranking. You can see that on former skewb wr averages.

Total of the three solves...

Feliks = 6:45.20
Kevin = 6:45.22

So technically tied once divided by 3, but the gods of rounding were kinder to Kevin
