[WCA Regulations 2012] Remove +2 penalty for misaligned sides

[anders]

I suggest that we remove the +2 penalty for misaligned sides and replace it by dnf.

This has been discussed earlier: http://www.worldcubeassociation.org/....php?f=4&t=922

I disagree.

I(and many others) would DNF way too often.

I think that this would become quite harsh, but wouldn't mind too much if it was changed.

[ben1996123]

no.

Too many of these threads. Also, if it has been discussed before, and never removed, it's not going to be removed.

Roux user = Moar slices = Moar DNF for misaligns. Probably wouldn't affect you all that much.

NO

Replace DNF (2 moves away) with +4 ???? (just kidding) (maybe just for BLD)

penalties are fine the way they are. Although my only BLD DNF in comp was 2 moves away (sob sob).

[Kirjava]

I lol'd;

<+aronpm> Removing +2 means that 1 move scrambles are allowed :<

[masterofthebass]

clock already doesn't have +2. if it works there, albeit frustrating when you DNF, why couldn't it work for all puzzles?

will it also change the past records?

[Cheese11]

Mmm, no thank you. I would get really mad.

What if they made one M slice turn a +2?

will it also change the past records?

Good point. Would someone have to go through all the past solves that had +2's and change them?
