No, you don't. At a comp, the judge will pick up the clock and look at the other side to make sure it's solved.When doing clock, do I need to finish my solve with the clock standing up? I ask this because many times when I stop the timer my clock will fall and I'm wondering if I need to practice this
Do a little googling and you will find your answers. It depends which method you are talking about for how many moves there are, and also how efficient solutions are. On average, with CFOP (The most popular method) there is about 50-70 moves in a solve. In competition, every cube gets a different scramble, so no two are in the same state, and these stats are published in a lot of different place. The speesolving wiki is good for this kind of info, just search for what you need to know. Try searching for methods, instead of move counts, as the method pages have move counts in them.In a competition I assume all competitors start off with the cube in the same state?
How many moves are typically required to complete the solve in a competition?
Are these stats published anywhere? I mean is the starting state ever recorded anywhere? and how many moves were necessary to solve it? and in what time?
To add on, if people use Roux its more move efficient at around 40 - 50, but I havent tried Roux and I'm just looking at the speedsolving wiki. There is also ZZ, in which the speedsolving wiki says 45 moves with eoline, and 53 with eocross.Do a little googling and you will find your answers.

we can't figure out the shortest route, but sometimes more efficient ones. Your method is kinda bad.I did but I guess I didn't use the correct search terms.
Anyway. You say the most common is method CFOP. (Sorry, I'm not a 'real' cuber so the term was foreign to me till I google that)
The 3x3 method I use is White Cross, Middle edges, White corners, Yellow edges, Yellow Corners.
My method, kind of, looks a bit like CFOP?
But I'm confused. I use my method for a well scrambled cube. But even if the cube only has a few squares out of position I still go through my whole method.
Surely you speedsolvers aren't just going through the whole sequence the same way I do? I just assumed you could look at a cube and figure out the shortest route ignoring fixed sequences such as CFOP
Sorry. I hope this isn't sounding disrespectful - I'm really just trying to understand how you speedsolvers do that amazing feat.
I thought that in order to get faster I'd need to abandon my simple, foolproof, slow, method. or are you saying my method is fine - I just need a faster cube and faster fingers.
if he made up the method by himself he is smart though, if not he should've just learned LBL.we can't figure out the shortest route, but sometimes more efficient ones. Your method is kinda bad.
I am just telling him his method is not suitable for speedsolving.if he made up the method by himself he is smart though, if not he should've just learned LBL.
Your method doesn't seem like the best currently, I recomend learning either, CFOP, Roux, Petrus. or ZZ. I would recommend trying them all out and seeing which one you like best, as that is often the best way to determine your main methodI did but I guess I didn't use the correct search terms.

yeah i was just replying to the part you said that his method is kinda bad.I am just telling him his method is not suitable for speedsolving.
His method isn't that bad , considering he's a beginner. He isn't doing 'daisy cross', for example. Though I suspect the last layer is not as neat as it sounds: "Yellow edges then Yellow corners"
don't google them. search at the wikiDon't want you guys to think I was ignoring your comments - I did post way up the page but I just noticed it's being held back waiting for moderator approval.
Anyway. Thank you for all your comments. Takes me ages to google all those abbreviations you're all using. I'm looking though your suggested methods now and, hopefully, I'll find one that suits me.
Thank you!
I didn’t have to. The only thing that anybody under 15 would for sure have is a birth certificate.I’m pretty sure you need to bring some form of ID to your first competition. I can’t quite remember what I took to my first competition but my friend wants clarification of what you need to bring and if it is needed to bring.
The ID requirements in the US are probably lax because you don't have any identification system besides birth certificates and driving licences, or whatever the heck.I didn’t have to. The only thing that anybody under 15 would for sure have is a birth certificate.
Ask your delegate.I’m pretty sure you need to bring some form of ID to your first competition. I can’t quite remember what I took to my first competition but my friend wants clarification of what you need to bring and if it is needed to bring.
Yeah my friend suggested using his student card but we settled on him taking a picture of his birth certificate. Not sure if it will actually be needed but better have it just in case.The ID requirements in the US are probably lax because you don't have any identification system besides birth certificates and driving licences, or whatever the heck.
… Actually, looking it up, it seems Australia also doesn't use ID cards or the like. Huh.
Ask your delegate.
My guess is that any official documentation (Australian passport, birth cert, etc.) or any school-issued identification with a photo on it (student cards? do you guys use those) should be enough.
