If a preview is allowed, how long do you get? Is there a standard for this that everyone is going by? For longer times this shouldn't matter too much, but for record keeping and fast times such as Jiri's 14 seconds, I can see how a few seconds in the begining can really make a difference. Is there a FAQ about this? Also, are you people timing yourselves or do you have someone to do it? I do it myself. It doesn't affect my time too much, but I can shave off a second or two if someone else does it. -Alex-
