[15] On September 27, 2024, the WCA Regulations Committee (WRC), responsible for deciding on such "unresolved and uncovered incidents",[16] released a joint statement with the WCA Board of Directors on the matter; while the WRC announced that it would now use frame-by-frame analysis in certain cases such as world records, the Board concluded that Wang's solves "could not be conclusively determined to be in violation of the WCA Regulations, policies, and procedures which are in place at the time of the attempt, and cannot be retroactively applied to previous attempts".
