Whoever thought of this deserves a basket of muffins; the number of new competitors who don't even glance at the regulations before competing drives me nuts. One obviously shouldn't expect them to know every regulation right out of the gate, but it saves a lot of time when someone new already knows the rules.

the thing that pisses me off is that new cubers tend not to wait in the competitor area, and it pisses me off. i scream their name and then i later walk down the competior area to look for that person. turns out they're in the spectator area.... is there any penalty for not being in competitor area? i usually ask the delegate when i need to run off to the toilet when i place my cube down on the scorecard to say that i won't be at the area until i've done my neccesity. great vid btw, the stopping timer reg really needs to be explained, people keep stopping the timer wrong.

If anyone is wondering about pops: Article 5: Puzzle Defects 5a) Examples of puzzle defects include: popped parts, pieces twisted in place, and detached screws/caps/stickers. 5b) If a puzzle defect occurs during an attempt, the competitor may choose to either repair the defect and continue the attempt, or to stop the attempt. 5b1) If a competitor chooses to repair the puzzle, they must repair only the defective parts. Tools and/or parts of other puzzles must not be used to repair the original puzzle. Penalty: disqualification of the attempt (DNF). 5b2) Any repair to a puzzle must not give the competitor any advantage in solving the puzzle. Penalty: disqualification of the attempt (DNF). 5b3) Permitted repairs: 5b3a) If any parts have fallen out or moved out of place, the competitor may place them back. 5b3b) If, after repairing the puzzle but before the end of the attempt, the competitor finds that the puzzle is unsolvable, they may disassemble and reassemble a maximum of 4 pieces to make the puzzle solvable. 5b3c) If the puzzle is unsolvable, and can be made solvable by rotating a single corner piece, the competitor may correct the corner piece by twisting it in place without disassembling the puzzle. 5b4) During a blindfolded phase (see Regulation B4), all repairs must be performed blindfolded. Penalty: disqualification of the attempt (DNF). 5b5) If at the end of the attempt some parts of the puzzle are physically detached or not fully placed, the following regulations apply: 5b5a) If one or more parts without colored faces is affected, the puzzle is considered solved. 5b5b) If one part with one colored face is affected, the puzzle is considered solved. 5b5c) If more than one part with one colored face is affected, the puzzle is considered unsolved (DNF). 5b5d) If one or more parts with more than one colored face is affected, the puzzle is considered unsolved (DNF). 5b5e) Regulations 5b5c and 5b5d supersede 5b5a and 5b5b.

@nabranestwistypuzzler7019
6 жыл бұрын
There are cutoffs & time limits though. If you don’t make the time limit, you get a DNF & you have to stop the solve. Because of that, you should also use a stopwatch for your own purpose so that you can stop it & then continue the solve after, or just look at the time on the timer. For the cutoff, you have to make it to continue your average. If you don’t make the cutoff in the second solve of the average, you get cutoff from finishing the average. You can still obviously do that event, but you’ll just DNF. It says the cutoffs & time limits in the events section for each competition.

You don't have to be good to go to a comp. I went to my first comp when I averaged 27 on 3x3 and had a blast. You can record your solves with a camera next to the stackmat, I do it all the time and no-one has ever told me to stop. Just don't have the screen facing you, that's not allowed, it's considered an extra advantage because you can see your cube from another angle
