What is the new regulation?

 

[Bingus cuber]

That you can move the clock pins in inspection. Most people don't like it.

 

[BirdCubing]

When I practice clock, I don't usually move the pins during inspection. It would seem interesting to add this regulation but the new world records would be way faster before since you know what pins your going to move once you start solving. Seems pretty interesting to add this new regulation for now.

 

[Bingus cuber]

Agreed. I don't have a clock, but I know this will change the event forever.

 

[Isaiah Scott]

I like how it has a megaminx on the logo
