Or it could be used to check whether you are on an odd or even target during M2, if you lose track. Or whether you forgot to fix parity. Etc.

Yeah true.

Is it possible since there are ZERO competitions from me in a 2 state radius, does that mean any scheduled comps cannot be added, that by some lucky chance could me near me, and is not listed now?

There definitely could be some in the works for your area, especially if there have been comps there before. If there haven't been though, you can talk to a delegate in your area about organizing your own competition (although it's always ideal if you've been to a couple before you start organizing so you understand how they work).

Yes, competitions have been in my area, but that was before I got back into cubing.

Kansas, near Kansas City

Is it wca legal to use a clock where the 12 markers on both sides arent at the same spot?

lets say one side has 12 on top then i do a y2 and the other side has 12 on bottom.

That would require a modification of the corner pieces as well, or else there would be no solved state. That would fall under 3h as enhancing the basic concept of the puzzle, I'd think.

How can I see my sum of ranks ranking?

I was wondering what CR stands for on cube comps. Obviously I know what WR and NR stand for. I was thinking competition record, but I don't think that's right

It's probably illegal, but I'd also like to add that a printed qiyi logo IS distinguishable by feel and is also not comp legal for bld events.

The fact is that you can feel it, and I can identify the white side 100% of the time.

So I recently got a stickerless Thunderclap v2, and it's logo is significantly different than the Warrior W's.
Have you actually tried a Warrior W specifically, or just the qiyi logo on, say, a valk?
Because, yes, the qiyi logo on my Thunderclap is definitely distinguishable and therefore not legal, but I seriously can't tell the difference between any of the centers on my Warrior Ws.

Also, I got nearly all of the fluff from poking out of the cubes, so they should be legal now.

I don't know that I've tried the Warrior. If I were you I'd still try to get cubes without logos just in case certain delegates decide they don't like it.

What if a puzzle pops during inspection but the competitor did not make any moves? Extra attempt?

how would this happen?

Like would you get really mad and throw the cube at a wall halfway through inspection or something?

You can calculate it manually and figure out how far you are from top 300. I don't think any websites show sum of ranks past top 300 though.

Maybe you dropped it and it popped.

Or maybe the judge put the cube down too hard on the table and the pyraminx tip came off (which i've seen happen before, competitor was given extra for this)
