These scrambles were pretty nice, and looking back I was surprised that I could turn decently well on them, since my pyra turning usually sucks lol.
Having this whole controversy in between the solves may have also taken my mind off the solves and calmed my nerves, which was another bonus.
Now to explain what happened.
On solve 3 on this final, there was a 10 move solution that could be executed really quickly. @JJCuber27, (The guy I was talking with at the end) got a 1.29 on this, which puts him 7th in Australia as of now. Another friend of mine, @CharlieHandley-w1n dnfed out of a 1.28 on this also. By this point I had only done 2 solves, which means I hadn’t seen the 3rd scramble, but I knew it was good. As the cube got handed to @maxoomacubes, (my judge) Charlie asks from the station next to me “Have you gotten the 3rd solve yet?” I replied “It’s coming now.” This is where the problem begins.
One of the delegates of the competition overheard this, and interpreted this as breaking regulation 2g3, which states competitors cannot talk about how good or bad scrambles of the round are. He then reports this to the head delegate, and arranged for me to have an E1 given, which you have/will see in the video.
After I completed my average without the crazy 3rd scramble, another delegate came over and questioned me and Charlie about what truly happened in the conversation, and whether or not Charlie had actually disclosed anything about the 3rd scramble. We repeated word for word what we both said, then all the delegates came together to make a final decision.
Thankfully, the delegates decided that what Charlie said did not break regulation 2g3, so they revoked their original decision. This meant Charlie got off the hook, and I was given the original 3rd scramble, to replace the E1 I had done before.
I messed up the good scramble horrendously, but despite the reaction I had, I wasn’t too mad about it since I had already gotten a great time the previous day, and the 3.24 I got on it is a pretty good time for me anyway, regardless of how good the scramble was.
I didn’t realise how crazy my average ended up being until I sat back down at my table and a kid showed me what I got, which I was unbelievably surprised by and extremely happy for.
