So I have a WeiLong Pyra
I'm not sure exactly if this is legal but is it ok if the puzzle has a slight amount of damage on it
Some parts of the colored plastic are fading slightly and there is a little dot on 2 green pieces
Thanks!

I'm a delegate and would allow that puzzle, no problem.

From what I can see the puzzle is fine.
- Regulation 3j1 States, "Puzzles are permitted to have reasonable wear, at the discretion of the WCA delegate.
- Regulation 3j1a states that "Wear should be considered reasonable if it is a result of normal use and it does not give significant additional information about the state of the puzzle."

In Normal Person English, this means that as long as you've been using the puzzle normally, you're good. If you're really worried send an email to your local delegates. The email addresses of your local delegates are available at: https://www.worldcubeassociation.org/delegates#usa-canada

In my personal experience, if you can't see a defect, scrape, or mark on a decent-quality photo it's probably WCA-legal.
