[閒聊] WCA Announcement

Fellow members of our community,

WCA board has come to the conclusion that there is proof beyond any doubt
that the 2007 world record holder for blindfolded solving has cheated in the
blindfolded events of several WCA competitions. The conclusion of WCA board
has come after extensive investigations and a number of conversations with
the competitor. The competitor has not confessed.

Proof
Proof shows that the competitor cheated by peeking underneath the blindfold.
The proof consists of the analysis of videos of several blindfolded solves in
WCA competitions. Many videos gave a strong indication of cheating, because
of the applied complex method combined with a flawless accuracy (77 correct
solves out of 77 solves). The method had the effect that many edge and corner
pieces changed positions and/or orientation while solving the corners of the
cube.
One video of the multiple blindfolded event in World Championship 2007
brought proof beyond any doubt. The video shows that the competitor made an
error (incorrect undo of set-up moves) during the execution of a step, and
that instead of correcting the error, the competitor started solving the cube
again. This is only possible if the competitor would have seen that he had
made a mistake. Otherwise he would either have undone his incorrect moves, or
he would not have been able to solve the cube anymore.

Verdict
WCA has come to the following verdict.

      - WCA has banned the competitor for three years for all WCA
competitions, starting today. The competitor may appeal for reinstatement
after two years, if he fully cooperates with WCA.
      - WCA has changed all blindfolded solves of the competitor to the
result DNF (did not finish).
      - WCA has requested the competitor to return his prize money in
blindfolded events to the competition organisers. The organisers can then
redistribute the prize money.


Other measurements
WCA has come to the following measurement to prevent future cheating in the
blindfolded event:

      A temporary regulation must be applied for all competitions under WCA
Regulations 2007. For WCA Regulations 2008 (expected March 2008) the
additional regulation will be fully integrated, including some other
preventive measurements.
      The regulation consists of placing a sheet of paper (or a similar
object) between the face of a competitor and the cube during the solving
phase. WCA is looking for a widely available multi-purpose (solving while
sitting and while standing) device that would not require the judge to
constantly hold the paper.


WCA wants to honour:

      - the new world record holders: Danyang Chen, Chris Hardwick (twice)
and Dennis Strehlau.
      - the new world champions of World Championship 2007: Rafal Guzewicz
(twice) and Chris Hardwick.
      - the new silver medal winners of World Championship 2007: Shotaro
Makisumi, Dror Vomberg, Bernett Orlando
      - the new bronze medal winners of World Championship 2007: Tyson Mao,
Yumu Tabuchi, Sinpei Araki
      - all others who were damaged by the cheating of the competitor.


Communication
WCA will not use the competitor's name in communication because the
competitor is still under 18 years of age. For the same reason WCA
distributed a detailed report on this matter only to a small number of
involved parties. We kindly request our community to support the privacy of
the competitor.

WCA encourages members of our community who have suspicions of cheating by
other members to contact the WCA board, instead of making public
announcements and/or feeding unfriendly public discussions.
The verdict is a very difficult decision by the WCA, but an organised sport
is meaningless if its rules are not enforced. WCA would like to extend
gratitude to everyone who assisted in this investigation.

All members of our community are welcome to respond to this announcement on
the WCA forum. All messages with personal references or hostile expressions
will be moderated.

Mission of WCA
The mission of WCA is: more competitions in more countries with more people
and more fun, under fair conditions.

Kind regards,

WCA Board

      Gilles Roux (France)
      Masayuki Akimoto (Japan)
      Ron van Bruchem (Netherlands)
      Tyson Mao (USA)


大意如下:

某人的作弊行為已經被 WCA 認為是罪證確鑿.因該名賽員為滿18所以並未提及姓名

懲罰為三年內不得參加 WCA 比賽.兩年後如果該名賽員全面配合 WCA 會撤銷處罰

至於配合包括認罪,以及歸還所有盲解比賽獎金.而他的盲解成績會全數改成 DNF

新的世界紀錄保持人跟各大賽贏家也都會修改.而將來的盲解比賽也會有新的規則

暫時的替代方案是拿紙或相似物品在整個 solve 檔在臉跟方塊之間.
