Well put. I agree with the suggested rule change, but I would not agree with it for a 10 solve, average of all 10 competition. 12 solve, average of 10 is probably OK, but somewhere around there is where my personal limit is. I think it's clear both that pops are the fault of the cuber, and that they're unavoidable to some extent. I would not want a future where many competitors in a WC final end up with DNF results, since they had to choose between going full speed and being sure not to pop. And I wouldn't want the talk afterwards to be about how somebody was really fastest, but had an unlucky pop. Some sports, like slalom, do work this way. But there it is unavoidable. - - - - - - - - - - - - "The power of accurate observation is commonly called cynicism by those who have not got it." -- George Bernard Shaw Lars Petrus - [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://lar5.com ------------------------ Yahoo!
