Hi Stefan, Yeah, that's basically the idea. I mean... we have to have some type of standard right? We don't have enough time to give every single cube-solve out there a chance at this record. We especially don't have time to let people "try it" just for fun, if they don't have a good shot at doing this. A record attempt like this is not a trivial work of organization for us and is very disruptive to our lives.
I agree, world records are meant to be broken. But nobody's life revolves around cubing, and we need to respect everyone's commitments to other aspects of their lives.
