Can I have a 2-gen OLL parity?

If a pyraminx tip/cap is off at a comp, is that +2 or solved?

IMO I would say Solved but I could be wrong. It would be the equivalent to a centercap falling off a 3x3.

Nope, because the piece could be placed in an unsolved state. It would be a +2 because you can always solve tips though.

From the "solved state" part of the regs:
https://www.worldcubeassociation.org/regulations/#10d
And from somewhere else:
5b5: 5b5d) If one or more parts with more than one coloured face is affected, the puzzle is considered unsolved (DNF).

So it would be a DNF.

No. Cause it could only be put back one place. I did it in a comp and it was fine.

Second this. I had a center cap pop and all was well.

Guessing you mean a centre as corners don't have caps.
5b5b: If one part with one coloured face is affected, the puzzle is considered solved.

corner cap

ss4 corners do have caps

i guess it will be fine

Yeah. I was referring to ss4. Lol. Since I didn't put it back, I made the cutoff by 0.11 seconds lol. So don't do it.

damn it at my last comp it popped three times on three different solves and if i didnt put them back it would have been sub 1 average

damn it

I did not know that.

But the regs are still the same.

Is there a way for me to be able to view the forum the way it was before the recent change?

This..

And, what the current US Nats 2014 status?

 

[windhero]

Whats the UWR for 4x4 PLL and OLL parity execution? Or what do people like Hays, Feliks, Mats or Sebastian average at it?

 

[mark49152]

Is there any difference between Guhong v1 and v2, apart from the addition of torpedoes?

 

[Lchu613]

Torpedoes.
Some say the corners look different; I say it's just the torps. And the change from "v1" to "v2"
