regulations

I've been working on a little project that I thought might be useful to other cubers: WCA Regulations Assistant. It uses semantic search and AI to answer questions about the WCA Regulations and Guidelines. You can ask questions in normal language, and it'll retrieve the relevant regulations and...

Misscrambles: They're a problem. You've probably heard of the recent world records and near-world record solves that were disqualified on a misscramble either during or after the competition. Often the solver is not able to attain a similar result again. There have been cases where the world...

Well it's that time of year again where the regulations get redone so I figured we could address some ideas here. Random Ideas: SKEWB ADDED (lol) Clarification for 4d: "Cube puzzles must be scrambled with the white (or the lightest colour by default) face on top and green (or the...
