Someone says that this is not counting, and I also can't find this single in CubingChina results.

Edit: Fourth solve in the second round(復賽)，it's DNF.

Another video, seems like Yiheng turned his cube right after the solve.

It feels dumb to DNF, since he touched the cube after like 10 seconds, that's plenty of time to see If it's solved

 

[Caleb Valenzuela]

seriously?! this is the stu- oh, I mean dumbest DNF of all time

I think the regulation is that you can't touch it until the judge has inspected it, and I think this should count. He only applied moves 10 seconds after the solve was finished.

 

[yes cubing]

This might not make sense, but because frame-by-frame analysis is now allowed, surely that means videos can prove things other than sliding, and the video proves that he did indeed solve the cube in that time, and we can see the judge looking at the cube, and writing the time, and probably was finished writing before he picked it up. I think this record should stand.

good explanation there, yes cubing

 

[bldcuber314]

Could they also look at the video where he was turning the cube and use that to prove that the back of the cube was solved?

Touching a cube before signing. +2. 4.2 solve, simple

The regulation is you can’t touch the cube until you sign, otherwise it’s a +2, but if you TURN the cube before you sign, it’s a DNF

Inspect it, not signing necessarily, is the correct wording

A6e) After stopping the timer, the competitor must not touch, apply a move, or make any change in alignment to the puzzle, until the judge has inspected the puzzle.

Regulations A6e and A6e1:

A6e) After stopping the timer, the competitor must not touch, apply a move, or make any change in alignment to the puzzle, until the judge has inspected the puzzle.

A6e1) Penalty for applying a move to the puzzle after stopping the timer: disqualification of the attempt (DNF)

I'm curious if he grabbed the wrong cube by mistake and meant to grab his warmup cube due to adrenaline. Still sucks to see it though.

I forgot 3.13 was the wr and almost got upset

 

[Sombi McJunior]

[1x1 wr holder!]

yikes. yeah i think he meant to grab a warmup cube. personally, i think it shouldn't be counted. it's frustrating but like the equivalent of not writing your name on a test you get 100% on.

 

[OtaMota]

At 11:30, Matty did the same thing as Yiheng, and the solve was not penalized on his profile

I forgot 3.13 was the wr and almost got upset

me too for one sec i though it was 3.3

This might stand on further review, in my second competition I picked up the cube and set it back on the mat (as seen in the video I posted) and when I sent the footage to Raymond Goslow (delegate in our area) to see if it could be penalized he said it was fine as the judge had time to inspect the cube:
