Tell me what YOUR weirdest moment was at competition! :D
Once my megaminx exploded during my first solve and that actually happened to another person in the same heat. It was very weird. Rip megaminx.
@@tobiashermans5595 nice
At Sydney Open 2019, my friend signed up for 3BLD even tho he didn't know how to do it (he knew corners and edges separately but not together, and he was going to learn but never got there) so for the comp he decided to make a joke and this is what happened:
1. My friend uses a really bad Shenghou 3x3 on VERY loose tensions
2. The judge lifts the cover without him starting the timer
3. He starts "inspecting/memorising and then 2 seconds into the solve remembers to start the timer
4. He memos only corners and then but the blindfold on
5. After 30 seconds of executing, the loose cube POPS everywhere
6. He DNFs and the delegate starts laughing
7. I guess it breaks the regulation at 9:33 but it was just for fun, everyone unintentionally does so once in a while
He had planned a few of these jokes but some were completely unplanned ;)
PS If you want to see the footage check out czcams.com/video/zsrgdNxzFJY/video.html at 2:32 in the video
Thomas Parker RIP megaminx 😢
Tobiastjagames NL 🙈🙈
one time I got a 1:00 4x4 solve, but the organizers entered it as 1 second, so for a couple of minutes I had the 4x4 world record
Lmao
Lol
Nice
I can solve a 4x4 but in 1:00:00
Mans is bussin
Once my Delegate moved my judging station so he could make it rhyme when he called the next competitors' name.
well that's random 😅
I have made judges do this 😳
Lmao
Nice
Lol
At a comp years ago I was judging someone who, unbeknown to me, had Tourette’s. I asked him if he was ready and he “nodded” so I lifted the cube cover. I didn’t realise that his nod was actually one of his tics and he was in fact not ready! He didn’t ask for an extra and I felt so bad. I can look back and somewhat laugh at myself but I still feel kind of bad to this day...
ooh man that's so sad and funny at the same time haha, you couldn't know right 😅
@The Junior Cuber heyy
Why are you watching cube head tnl?
Pat Ryan cos why not?
Sorry but I’m laughing way too hard at this
I went up to solve, i said ready, then my judge said, "well im not so you're gonna have to wait."
looooool
F

What the lol
I got a plus 4 because the judge didn’t see the plus 2 so I picked it up and held it in front of his face
Damian Cuber's 2nd Channel haha next time try to get +16
@@CubeHead I might haha
That's bad...
@@Stabruder sure is
im pretty sure at my recent comp one of competitor purposely make a +10
The 2 move rule is basically to speed up the scrambling program for bigger cubes. If the program has to check for like 100 moves to be solved on 7x7 that would take way longer than checking for 2. And 2 is so incredibly unlikely that it doesn’t really matter.
so now I know! :D
Yeah but why not 10 or 15 cause when there’s 2 moves needed to solve it then it would been an easy wr cause it was legal scramble
@@sleepingboiz8155 the probability of that happening is unbelievably low
@@sakshamsinghal5418 but still possible and with so many scrambles happening around the world its bound to happen
@@bruce4139 its not bound to happen at all, there's less than 100 2 move solutions i think and 19 500 551 183 731 307 835 329 126 754 019 748 794 904 992 692 043 434 567 152 132 912 323 232 706 135 469 180 065 278 712 755 853 360 682 328 551 719 137 311 299 993 600 000 000 000 000 000 000 000 000 000 000 000 combinations, it will never happen, especially in comp, the most comps in a week ever is 42 assuming all have 2 rounds thats 84 rounds times 5 = 420 solves a week, combinations/420=4.642988e+155, assuming a massive 1000 scrambles with 2 moves (way too much) is 4.642988e+152 weeks to get a 2 move scramble or 1.272052e+150 years which is good cause the heat death will occur in about 10e+100 years. so we dont need to worry about it
There is a reg about being fully clothed specifying you have to wear a shirt or you get disqualified from the comp.
thetx789 yeah I read that one as well :D
2h right? Only one I know the name of.
Lol! Next time I come naked 🤣
if i wear a jacket and nothing underneath (but the jacket is closed so you don't see underneath) will I get disqualified
@@dpage446 I am sure it is a delegate discretion thing.
Once my judge went away during my solve, but never came back.
Also in the same competition, someone got disqualified for throwing his cube at the window, just because he got a PB.
Wth
I have a few that when I think about it are all to do with cube covers.
1. At Lincoln open 2019 judging my friend he says "what if I licked your hand" and then went to do it and shocked me enough that I accidentally threw the box off the cube and we both laughed for half his 7x7 solve
2. At Leeds open 2019 for some reason I decided to lift the box for my solve and got dnf'd, my friend clapped as a joke but the whole room thought a record had happened so there was a massive round of applause
3. At Weston super mare open 2019 I brought bertie longden his cube and said "bertie long dong" and he jokingly says "yeah I've got a big penis", for some reason I thought that was him saying he was ready and took the cover off
Long story short don't let me near the cube covers I'm an idiot
"my friend clapped as a joke but the whole room thought a record had happened so there was a massive round of applause" LMAO that's hilarious... can't stop laughing
Hahaha man those are hilarious 😂
Number 3 WAHAHAHAHAHA
Love it!
WCA REGULATIONS:
8r3) When they don't have any dedicated Judges ( like the NFL, NBA, etc.. ) but volunteer Judges, then comedy is bound to happen.🤣
2:44 YO! A delegate lied to me, (and a few others) A guy asked him "If i was in the middle of a solve and just felt, that i'm extremely hungry, so hungry that i can't focus on the cube enough, would i be allowed to just take a break to eat a banana"
His answer to that was "Well, no, you're not allowed to use anything to help you"
Ah yes, banana
😏
Would love to see a part 2 to this! The "F*** yeah PB" joke had me dying lol

3:00 judging multiple people simultaneously is doable and really time-saving for for big cubes or big blind :) Of course you don't start inspection simultaneously
7:18 you could place the cube in front of the timer, closer to you, making it potentially easier to pick it up
7:33 you could still flip the cube over with your fingers to inspect what pieces are on the D layer
7:57 OMGGG! 😍😍
My best experience: I once judged a newcomer who thought they had to start the inspection phase by starting the stackmat timer ...
Will you be vlogging at Annuntia Open? :)
NOOO these questions were meant to be unanswerable (if that's a real word) 😅
and yeah only if my friend Bruno doesn't make it awkward :D
Technically, the table the mat is on is also considered as the mat, so if you get that +2, you either dropped the cube off or put the cube literally on the timer
iirc you have to start the timer for inspection in blindfolded
lol i saw chris mills get that +6 live, they were originally saying dnf
haha that's so funny 😅
Yeah lmao UK champs 2019 finals, that was funny
Cumulative penalties: think about multi blind, you can +2 every cube..
+16 every cube
@@hibuddy2768 I don't think so... You don't start and stop the timer every solve
@@Frost-rx4ch I know but could you imagine if you could +16 every cube

Cubehead: "I have never seen anybody get a +4, or a +6."
Also Cubehead: "A friend of mine sent me a video the other day of somebody who got a +6."
Weirdest/Most Random moment in a competition for me:
Most of the delegates and staff were going to go to a cup stacking competition the day after the cubing competition, so they had all of their cups. They made a super tall cup tower that was like 5 feet high. A staff guy's last name was Mullen and he had a melon plushie. They called all the competitors to come to the front to watch the spectacle as Mullen threw his melon at the tower, knocking it down. There were people cheering and everything. This happened during lunch break, so it didn't disturb anybody, but the first-timers must have been so confused.
Him: We all remember our first cubing comp.
Me: I haven't went to one
Me either. I thought for like two months that I was really bad at f2l. But it turns out I never learned it. My best time is luck only 27 seconds. I haven’t learned full oll or pll and I cannot do look ahead. So yeah this is my cubing story lol.
@@michaelwalker8956 in my country the only cubing comps are 1000km and 800km away from my city
Thx for the info
@@NoOne-pr8oh no, South Africa
Same
when your delegate hates you.
me: can I go to the toilet?
delegate: toilet? disqualified
me:visibly confused
The weirdest thing that happened to me was I solved a 2x2 and released it on the mat, but before I stopped the timer I realized the cube was one move away from solved, so I picked it up, solved it, and then stopped the timer. The judge wasn't sure if that was allowed and in my head I was like "Really? Of course that was allowed!" She called the delegate who informed her it was allowed and my solve counted with no penalty :)
Ye thats legal.
When I was new to competitions i judged a person who even after warnings didn't start in 15 s so I straight up took his cube put it in the box and said dnf 😂😂
They have 17 seconds but the 2 seconds after 15 seconds are +2
I've seen a +4 that was almost a +6, and I was +4ed before.
I’ve never seen it before! Bad luck haha
Lol

In one of my first comps, i signed when a judge wrote 1:40:55 or something, and little did I know i had done a 4x4 solve in less than 2 hours
2 hours😭 r u fr?
Should i get a 4x4 as well? I've never used anyhing other than a 3x3

@@mccree8851 mine is 25 seconds on average and 16.02 is my pb
@@Nunbody My pb is 16.16 seconds and I average 25 seconds as well 😳😳
7:30 putting a clock on the side of the stackmat nearest to you would give you an advantage
The advantage of seeing yourself n your screen is that it allows you to see the opposite side of the cube, which you wouldn't see normally. Its basically like using a mirror so that you can see the whole cube
During my first competition, a little kid started to judge, but it was clear that he didn't really know what he was doing. At the end of a 4x4 solve that he was judging, an outer layer was almost exactly at 45 degrees. The kid said it was a +2 while the solver disagreed and went to go get the delegate. When he was away, the kid picked up the puzzle, turned the outer layer to make it an obvious +2, showed it to everyone around, then turned it back to the fully solved position. He said to the delegate and solver, " I took care of it. The solve was a +2." I don't know what happened to the results or if he got another attempt.
that kid is a madlad or something
Damn I'd be pissed if that happened to me
Nice pfp
My weirdest experience in a competition is i got a world record, screamed, everyone was shoked, and my alarm turned on and i woke up and i realized, its just a dream. Weirdest competition evah.
Soon I'll be attending my first competition. I didn't even know I had to judge as well, even though it makes total sense of course. Thanks for the tips!
Valentin Grégoire good luck on your first comp!
Only 658 subs?! How?! Your content is so good!
Java Cuber thanks! Spread the message :D
500K in just two years, nice.
At my second comp , I was solving 2×2 and I got so excited at a 4s solve that I stopped the timer and realised that the cube had crossed the timer , the mat , the table and the stage for falling down
That +16 solve was awesome! Gave me a good laugh
I judged a well-known WCA member who will remain unnamed in clock. They solved their clock and did 2 extra moves to make it a DNF because they already had one and their counting solves evidently made for a terrible average. Had no idea it was against the rules to grief your solve/average
4:30
Have you heard of people being mute…
Not all delegates will be able to understand sign language.
Thats called deaf buddy
@@mommailim9616 u mean mute? mute means cant speak deaf means cant hear
The judge lifted the cover off the cube and the cube was solved...he didn't even see that the cube was solved until after he said eight seconds
(and I recorded my friend getting a +4)
Timothy Hubers upload it on your channel
Make sure to avoid copyright issues
@@zahirbiban9149 dont have video :( sorry
my friend has the recording of him getting a +4
his channel is Moz Cubing
A flood alert went off during 3BLD. I was judging, and all competing had noise-canceling headphones, but everyone jumped a little bit when it happened.
When I was at a competition, I finished a solve and the side was turned literally exactly 45 degree, so while literally everyone was checking to see is it was a +2 or not, I looked down and my corner split open a little (it was a sticker less valk 3) so I just squeezed the edge together to fix it… I got a DNF for that.
It was my first solve at my first comp…. Not a good start
my weirdest moment at a competition is when I think i got a +2 on a skewb solve and the judge called a delegate to look if it was. the judge said "did the solver touch the puzzle?" and he for some reason dropped the cube even though he was the judge.
Not exactly weird, but I went to a comp while very out of practice. Went up to do 4x4 which I hadn't practiced for months at this point, and out of no where, I got a 38 which beat my at home PB by like 7 seconds lol
Damn, seems J Perm was right about not practicing before a comp
Only been to one competition, and in the first round of Mega I made cutoff by 0.07 seconds on my first solve, then on my last solve I got an overall PB of 1:04.13 - 16 seconds faster than my previous PB! It was so unexpected as I don't practice mega much but it made my day and will always be the highlight of my first comp :D
Did you know you are the fastest OH solver with a 2020 WCA ID, so far.
That’s fast! Awesome to get pb at comp haha
I actually enjoy reading these. I read them by myself before watching the video when I had free time, and it was actually kinda fun.
I just watched your entire channel in one sitting
Haha that’s awesome! Any feedback? 😁
@@CubeHead i'll give you some :) YOU'RE EPIC!!!!!
@@iamvihaansharma yes
I found cube head two days ago and have watched atleast twenty of his vids.
1e1a usually applies only to bigbld (specifically 5bld) and mbld. But that'd be funny if it could be in 3x3 lol.
I’m 90% sure the reason you can’t film with the screen facing you is because the screen would show the backside of the cube, the cuber wouldn’t have to waste time flipping the cube around to check the colors on the back
Edit: he figured this out
I messed up pll like 4 times my first ever solve in comp and my judge was trying so hard not to laugh his face was almost purple
My favorite cubehead vid of all time, I might try to make some like this
7:52 My first official solve was a +4
Mine was +8 iirc lol
Hahah what a way to start your cubing career 😅
Potato Cuber oof
i quietly whispered that my solve would suck during my 28 second 3x3 solve and my judge said yah
“If you corner twisted your coob, cube” had me dying 😂😂😂😂5:03
On my first competision I started the timer almost instantly after the judge took off the cube hidder or whatever and I unintesionally gave my self like 2 secs of inspection time and I messed up really bad like I would have got like +6 but the judge was nice because he knew that I was a new comer and asked the delegate for an extra solve, and I got one.
1:32 put captions on
💀
My guess for the 2 moves rule would be there aren't optimal solvers for those puzzles, so to know the minimum moves you have to check all possible combinations of moves which takes exponentially longer with more moves - 2 is easy to check but 3 is hard to work out with a machine
6:09 why is this so funny 😂😂😂😅
One time I was judging a kid at my very first competition. The cutoff time was 30 seconds and neither of his solves were under 30 seconds. No one noticed that he did not make the cut off time so they let him do a third solve.but on his fourth solve I was judging him and I noticed that he did not make cut off. I stopped him in the middle of his solve and said I'm sorry you can't solve any more you didn't make the cutoff. He left looking very sad. :(
thats just sad man
You can make everything fun! Cool video 🎉
Thanks bae!
Theoretically you can get more time through penalties than through solves
The contact before the timer starts is to avoid people holding the cube and picking it up quicker
Intentionally doing a bad solve would raise suspicion of collusion with another party to fix the results by "throwing" the game. This has happened with other competitive events before so it makes sense for this rule to be in place.
The most annoying thing that happened to me was the delegate was calling for judges about the 3rd time so I got up to Judge, I did well in previous judging but I was judging the best solver at our event and afterword he started cursing at me and getting mad at me because I pu the wrong time down on his sheet it was really embarrassing so I left
Oh god
The weirdest thing that happened to me in a competition is that I didn’t go
Weird thing: my 5x5 popped while i was judging (in between solves obviously) and I had to borrow somebody’s. I swear it was worse than a Rubiks brand from 20 years ago. I had to use it though because it was my only option. So I used it, and after the first solve, the scrambler noticed that the sticker (not the logo, but a butterfly somebody put on) was not on the middle cap, therefore making it illegal. So A delegate gave me his cube (another stickered non magnetic piece of crap) which was at least better than the last one, and I wasn’t able to make the cutoff for the final solves.
Made me laugh so hard, excellent video, showed it to all of my friends.
Just discovered your channel and you have some amazing content. I would love to see what editing system and how you make your videos.
Thanks a lot! I might share with you soon how I make my videos! I use Final Cut Pro X
@@CubeHead i love ur vids nice content you are
the reason i got into cubing and used your tutorial to solve my first
cube.
The weirdest thing that happened to me at a comp was when the judge lifted my cube cover it was solved so naturally I picked it up "solved" it and put it now and i got a dnf because they forgot to scramble it
Man, I love your sunglasses!
During a solve, my phone alarm just rang because I forgot to turn it off. The problem is that the music was really loud and it was in the middle of a 7x7 solve, an event for which I was really slow. I asked to my judge if I could stop it, but she said me that the solve would be a DNF. I thought that the alarm would stop automatically after a certain time so I kept going, but after an entire minut the music was still playing, so I stopped the timer and my alarm, causing me a DNF.
Oh and the alarm music was a French song about weed legalization.
The corner twisting kid is actually the definition of a nuisance also RIP
Alex Maas for dealing with this kid
Hahaha. Late to the party! Sorry about that. I've actually never been to a WCA event before, but some of these rules seem outright weird. I think the rules are maybe less odd and moreso the fact that some of these rules even need to exist is comical. Keep it up!
7:16 The +2s. And 9:03 for +16
I laughed so hard when he said "F*ck yeah!"
5:57 the thumbnail
this happened at my first comp
it was round 1 for 3x3 and i got called up i inspected and started normally then i did yellow cross cause it was 4 moves then the judge said "ah you shouldve done white x cross" so that distracted me then durring pll i got a g something perm and did the alg mid way thru the alg the judge says "that alg is bad wanna see mine" def the worst judge ive ever had
They have so many rules for the contestants. WCA should have rules for delegates to control their behaviors.
Top weirdest things at comps:
-I sit down and the judge immediately pulls the cover of the cube.
-The best cubers at the comp are fighting over a yoga ball, then throwing it at each other.
-got a DNF for not signing my score card, but when other people don't sign, they can get by.
-worst of all I hear people say cubehead is bad and TNLcubing is better.
At my third competition I was in the bathroom when Ryan pilat broke the square 1 world record! I came in to everyone screaming world record world record!
my first comp was last year and my Valk was illegal because a piece was broken. I did not know that, so I ended up having to use my friend's 354m which was very different from my Valk. I was also really nervous because it was a really small competition, the first one in Alaska, and Max Park was there and yea I ended up averaging like 5 seconds slower than I did at home, and I got a DNF and a 30 second solve where I messed up oll like three times
I DID IT! +16 IN COMP! LETS GOOO
Edit : But i didnt win so... Lets goo...
at my competition i was judging and the delegate said " if yall dont help we are allowed to disqualify you " and like 9 people went up quickly 😂
1:40 I have rewatched this part at least 15 times, it's hilarious!🤣🤣🤣
On my first comp, I was doing pyra, and when I finished my solve, my pyra slided of the mat. The judge said it was plus two, so maybe +18 is possible??
It was one move away and judge said DNF
I love the facial expression every time he got DQed lol
This was really funny nice vid
9:24 well, someone did it.
The weirdest thing that happened to me was when i got a 45 (+4 and messed up pll) they misread it and i got a 15 solve which was so odd since my average was like 30 so they must have just thought I was lucky. (They changed it later) At my most recent comp tho there was like 2 kids about 10 and one was judging the other for 2x2. Basically they had decided to sign on the time sheet for all their times even the ones yet to be done to save time. Long story short the delegate comes over and starts yelling at these kids and the kid solving got disqualified. It was kinda sad to be honest.
In my first comp, i got a 45.2 degree solve, and then 1 solve later i got a 44.9 degree solve. Very excellent. Thanks moyu.
THIS WAS HILARIOUS
In the “outside the mat one”, they mean that you cannot place it on the timer, but they described it a bad way, i know
Or under the table lol
This kid asked me how to organize a comp in the middle of a PB pace 4x4 solve.
You can have more then +16 if you do mbld, if you solve 65 cubes you can have +130 and your time will be 62:10 (more than limit)
the best moment was when delegate came and said did you just say the f word, disqualified i replayed it like 1000 times and still was laughing like crazy
You forgot the rule that says that you have to know how a puzzle is solved if you want to compete in a competition
Why would somebody go to a competition if they… don’t know how to solve a cube?
those dislikes are from salty delegates
I guess so 😅
1st round 3x3 on my 3rd solve, I completely crushed my middle finger between 2 stacked chairs when I was going to sit on my station, it was completely numb for 30 minutes.
2nd round 3x3 in the same comp I had a good average. I was about to go home when I checked WCA Live and noticed one of my times were wrong, one of my counting 11's was turned into a 17, I reasoned with the organizer so they checked my score card and we found out the judge actually wrote 17 and I singed it unknowingly. I showed them a video of what time I actually got, but just got lectured in the end.
this is my favourite video of your channel
Technically on Pyraminx you could get a *+22s* by getting a scramble that has all corners flipped and flipping none of them. I got a +4 for not flipping 2 corners at my first comp xD
Actually 2+ tips is a DNf
Then the judge did not know the rules
Here you go for the +16: czcams.com/video/-Zp6s5AgMEc/video.html
