Dear Community, During this competition, Manuel Torres was judging and gave an easy fake 2x2 scramble to a fellow competitor. The solve was done in a very fast time and then found soon afterwards to be a mis-scramble. An extra solve was given to replace this. The judge did not admit that he was to blame and that it was an intentional mis-scramble until the day after the competition. Manuel has been co-operative and remorseful, and has been given a 3 month ban from WCA competitions to reflect the disruption he caused to the competitor and the competition generally. Thank you to those who have helped with this investigation. Regards, WCA Disciplinary Committee
