Hi Per, But it is legal to pop, and still finish with a valid time.
If popping is not the fault of the cuber, then why do some people pop frequently, and others do not? What causes the popping that is not controlled by the cuber? Accuracy in physical execution is mandated by our sport... just like everything else. Cup stacking, playing music, etc. Tyson Mao MSC #631 California Institute of Technology On Dec 25, 2005, at 4:18 PM, Per Kristen Fredlund wrote: > Hi :-) > > Sorry, that analogy does not hold water ;-) It is actually LEGAL to > tip over all the hurdles and get a valid time, as long as u follow > the lane from start to finish :D (And if not creeping under all of > them ...)
