2009: Record Recognition

[BryanLogan]

I removed 9i2 from 2009 draft 1. It requires the organisation team of course to clearly register the order in the results file.

OK, so shouldn't this: http://www.worldcubeassociation.org/res ... ry=History

have a lot more entries? Feliks should be listed multiple times and Dan's WR in the final should be acknowledged here.

Just want to ask,

In 29 April 2012, Asia Konvittayayottin and Yu Nakajima broke the 5x5 average Asian Record at different competitions. (Thailand Championship and Tokai Open)
Asia (1:06.36) and Yu (1:05.05), my question, should both recognized?

According to the schedule:
Asia broke the AsR at 5x5 Final Round, so it is in 13:00 - 13:40 (UTC+7)
Yu broke the AsR (don't know which round - the results is still not yet updated), it is probably between 10:00-10:45 or 17:05 - 17:25 (UTC+9)

If Yu broke the record in First Round, The record was set at 10:00 - 10:45 Japan Time or 02:00 - 02:45 (UTC)
Asia's solve is set at 13:00 - 13:40 or (06:00 - 06:40 UTC), in this case Asia's solve should not recognized as AsR.

But if Yu broke the record at Final, both should be recognized.

--
Another question: is the schedule reliable to decide this? Sometimes we don't follow the schedule because many reasons.

EDIT:
Yu broke the record twice, in First Round and Final.

As far as I'm aware, records are acknowledged based on the results at the end of each round. For example, say there are two competitions in Japan, one from 10am to 12pm, and one from 4pm to 6pm, and both competitions just have 3 rounds of 5x5. Let's say 5x5 single AsR is beaten in the final round of the earlier competition. If then that same record is beaten in the first round of the later competition, but not by as much, it would still be recognised.

Doing it this way helps us account for competitions in different time zones, for example, the difference between New Zealand and the west coast of the US (which at this stage remains the greatest time zone gap in WCA competitions).

Someone correct me if I'm wrong ^_^

That was an old regulation that's been removed.
