That's the thig, Brandon's 69 *doesnt* waste time. He ALWAYS finishes at least 30 min before everyone else and then proceeds to help in any way needed. It's just because of a few butt hurt delegates who can't stand the number 69. Guarantee they wouldn't care if the number was 68.

Are you serious? I don't think they mind what he's doing at all, and I wouldn't assume they do until they actually say it.

And checking his 69 move solution (which is always a success btw) is way faster than checking a DNF'd 50 mover. He actually saves us time!

So...
Let's say I decide to switch to roux and I have an upcoming competition, should I not be allowed to use roux at the comp because I am competing 'with expectation of a poor result', because roux doesn't give me the best result yet?

Of course not.

Why do people keep deliberately misinterpreting this regulation? Delegates aren't robots with no discretion. Any occurrence of this regulation being put into action will go through the Board, and do you really have such little faith in them?

This can also be clarified by reading the guidelines:

A1c+) CLARIFICATION WCA delegates should only use their discretion to prevent competitors from being a severe detriment to the competition (e.g. wasting time and/or competition resources). Competitors should not be disqualified for a "poor" result when they are competing to the best of their abilities.

I'm really curious, how many of you already tried using stickerless cubes in competitions? What was the delegate reaction when they've seen you trying to use stikerless puzzle?

I usually had to turn away 1-2 stickerless cubes at each of my competitions. I told them that they were not yet allowed under regulations and asked if they had another available.

Separate 3x3 Stickerless Competition?

Guys, instead of stickerless going against stickered 3x3 cubes why don't you just have a separate stickerless 3x3 competition until you can see the advantages and disadvantages of the stickerless cubes? If there are any advantages just keep stickerless a separate 3x3 competition.

Good idea! Why don't we also have white cubes in a different competition than black cubes or even Zhanchis in a different competing to Aolongs? A brilliant solution!

How dare you place Aolong v1s in the same competition as Aolong v2s! You clearly haven't thought through the possible advantages and disadvantages!

what about the stickerless transparent cubes, are they allowed in the transparent category or the stickerless category? Let's make another category! We should also have a seperate category for all of with a logo on a different side. But then, of course we can't forget the ridges on megaminxes. What about a competition for Hualongs with Weilong v2 springs and Aolong v1 center caps! We seriously need to get this idea to the board!
