Potential misinterpretation of the regulations for competitor tutorial #363

I was in the process of translating the competitor tutorial when one of my friends who I asked for feedback on my work have pointed out that there may be a wrong interpretation of the rules.

The regulations state:

A3b1) When the judge believes the competitor is ready, the judge asks "READY?". The competitor must be ready to start the attempt within one minute from the moment they are asked, or else the competitor forfeits the attempt (DNS), at the discretion of the judge.

The text currently present in the tutorial states (dubious section bolded):

Starting the solve:

Before each attempt, the judge needs to ensure that the timer is on and has been reset.

When the competitor sits down at the station, the judge/runner puts the covered puzzle on the mat and then waits until the competitor is ready to start the attempt.

The judge makes sure that the competitor is ready for the attempt, by asking “Ready?”

The judge needs to make sure that the competitor is ready! Lifting the cover to early can lead to an extra attempt.

Remember that you have 1 minute to start your attempt once you sit at the station with the puzzle placed on the mat!

If deemed that this requires fixing such fix would have to propagate to all translations.
