I for one would like to see improved hygiene standards for feet. I honestly don't care how clean feet ACTUALLY are if the truth is that people's feet smell. If someone's hands smelled as bad as typical stinky feet, I'd definitely have them wash their hands before competing. So I think if we keep feetsolving we should force the organizers to have some kind of setup for making feetsolving less potentially disgusting. One solution might be to clean people's feet: for example have a bowl of water and a towel so that people can wash their feet off before competing. Another would be to require people to wear socks during the event, or even provide socks if competitors don't come wearing them. Finally you could amend the rules so feetsolvers cannot use the mat, or so that they must start/stop the timer with hands. I don't know what the best solution is, but I do know that in its current state I would never hold feetsolving simply because I wouldn't want to touch the timers and cubes again, so a solution would be helpful.

I splitted your message from the old topic (nothing to do there). Some organisers wrap the timer with cling-film or something similar. That makes it less disgusting for next competitors Have fun!
