TLDR: Yiheng Wang's 0.78 WR 2x2 average will not be DNFed and the WCA will now use frame-by-frame analysis in certain situations.

Finally a statement.

Not everyone is happy about it, 2x2 is over. Good luck to anyone breaking the WR.

Better slide now before 2025

 

[Jorian Meeuse]

They had so much time to come to a fair decision...

 

[Davian]

So you can basically slide on competitions, aslong that theres no one recording it? I think that that is weird, but alright ig..

I suggested that WR/CR/NR solves have to be on camera, but people here shut me down on the idea...
would you trust a WR without video??

Reinstate Kalindu's 19.67 next, WRC!

In the WCA forum when one of the board members said that the new rules don't apply to past incidents I was in shock. This is arguably a worse WCA committee decision than the Chinese Taipei incident. I know the WCA is not a democracy, but when the majority of the community thinks this is unfair you know how wrong the decision is.

Thanks for giving me more grievances with the WCA to edit into my post on the forums!

FMC be like:

actually I'd love to see Kalindu's FMC solves (does he fake searching for solutions?), but I meant for speed events obviously

Apparently the WRC voted unanimously to penalize the 0.78 average, and the board overruled them. Some WRC members resigned in protest.

so basically the wrc actually has a brain but the board glazes yiheng

One of my favorite delegates is stepping down (and is the one mentioned in the post) The WRC should make the decision. IDK why the board is involved, this WCA committee structure doesn't make sense to me
