    Should they change the design of the timer?

  • @LevelUpCewb

    agreed this is absolutely a problem, need to fix it by making it first not a dnf as well as getting a better timer design for cubing use

      I get ur point, they're blaming your equipment for being bad, kinda dumb that they just make it a dnf.
      No one wants an equipment fucking up, just give the person a retry

      Or they look at the recorded footage. Right before it glitched.

    • @LevelUpCewb
      @LevelUpCewb 2 года назад +40

      not all solves are filmed as people usually have to choose to get their solves filmed and have someone film them, also fun fact not only can timers glitch, but the displays can also sometimes be broken so the display time isn't always accurate. In addition, displays aren't officially required in competition, but they are usually there. Another issue is with people who film themselves using a table tripod, which won't guarantee the time to be visible due to angles and stuff.

    Review the footage, look at the timer one frame before the timer got hit. Then since it usually records at 60 fps you add 1/60th of a second to get the most accurate time.

  • @afraid2letgo
    @afraid2letgo 2 года назад +2679

    my suggestions:
    1) give an extra
    2) if there's a video of the solve:
    2.1) if the timer can be seen, use the last recorded time, provided that the video is at least 30fps
    2.2) if the timer can't be seen, request a frame count

      Replays and frame counting are not reasonable to do at competitions they have to work through a lot contestants and rounds within a set amount of time. Having things grind to a halt everytime this happens is not practical. They could easily though allow a redo. They would have to keep spare scrambled cubes around to enable retries, but that should be feasible.

    For something like world championships, where there is also the larger timer next to the competitor, they should be able to video record the timer and do a slo-mo replay to get the time before going to zero.
    For other competitions, allow for self recording over the shoulder to catch the timer maybe.

    So couple things, this could be easily fixed by either having a charger, a rechargeable battery that can be replaced or adding replaceable padding inside so the batteries are firmly held in place.
    This problem has an easy fix but it's the negligence and stupidity of the designers plus the stupidity of the competitions in regards to how they handle this situation where you get such things happening.
    Honestly in a competition you need good equipment not garbage that can easily malfunction and fail at it's most important job.

      A better fit for the batteries is hard because the size of the batteries vary and if you get too tight, it's hard to change batteries.

    This is so easy to fix. All you have to do is make the entire top a start/stop and make the buttons on the side and the timer on the other side. This way, you can’t accidentally reset the time. Although this is a good idea, malfunctioning is an entirely different issue

    They could either make the battery compartment slightly tighter ot make it external with only a wire to connect it which would completely stop it from having these problems.
    Or they could just completely remove the batteries and give it a plug, but it would get in the way and cause to many problems
