Just wondering: why were there two rounds of master magic?

Regulation 9m3) Events with 7 or fewer competitors must have at most one round.
There were only 5 competitors, so it seems that the above regulation was broken.

Also, disregarding that regulation, another was broken:

9p1) For each round of an event, at least 25% of the competitors must not proceed to the next round.
Four of the five competitors advanced to the next round, and only 1 didn't (20%).

I'd just like to know if these regulations are not very strict, or if there was another reason they were allowed to be broken.
Unlike some other regulations, these use "must", and not "should".

Thanks, this was spotted by Ming Zheng and Ron and will be fixed soon. The second round will be removed.

Without Haiyan BLD times are way way slower in China.

Without Haiyan BLD times are way way slower in China.

Not really - you've got to be missing quite a few before BLD times are way way slower in China:

Rubik's Cube: Blindfolded China
1 Haiyan Zhuang 30.94 China Xi'an Spring 2010
2 Yuhui Xu 40.50 China Shantou Open 2010
3 Zhi Qiao 54.15 China ChangChun 2010
4 Tong Jiang 54.33 China Beijing Summer Open 2009
5 Xitian Luo 57.97 China Shantou Open 2010
