Incident at OktoberBrest 2014
WDC (2014-12-31 11:11:06 +0000)
Dear Community,
At OktoberBrest 2014, a competitor (under 18 years) was found to have cheated during both rounds of the Fewest Moves event by using their phone to look up algorithms.
With the support of the Board, the WDC has decided that the competitor will be banned from all WCA competitions for 6 months until end of June 2015, and all their Fewest Moves solves from the competition will be changed to DNF.
The competitor confessed to the incident after the competition.
Thank you to all who helped this investigation, notably Ilya Tereshko
Regards,
WCA Disciplinary Committee
