Should stickerless cubes be allowed in WCA competition?

Larger, yes. Much larger, I don't know.
WCA has 21743 members who's doing 3x3x3 : http://www.worldcubeassociation.org/results/statistics.php#most_persons
Speedsolving has 17415 members : http://www.speedsolving.com/forum/memberlist.php

However, I see your point.

Well, I'm not sure of the reliability, but apparently the mf8 forum has 166,803 members and 1,643,470 posts.

I seem to remember voting yes almost 3 years ago. I have changed my mind to a firm no now after reading both sides.

I created this poll one year ago, then the two threads were merged.

There's an incredible number of chinese speedcubers, I suppose.

Sorry. I remember voting when the poll opened and just checked the date of the OP.

You're welcome. It's confusing because I'm also the author of the title of the present thread, but not the author of the first message.

Read the regulations

Article 3:

3d) Puzzles must have coloured parts, which must be one of the following: coloured stickers, coloured tiles, coloured plastic, or painted/printed colours. All coloured parts of a puzzle must be made of a similar material.

So you say that they approved stickerless cubes?

WAIT WHAT I DIDNT SEE THAT.

I thought he did some silly bump, but gah, it seems like they did approve stickerless cubes. (meh)

3h2) Puzzles whose coloured parts are visible inside the puzzle are not permitted.

I searched for that when I saw YaFace's post, but I didn't found it, so that's why I've asked if WCA approved stickerless cubes.

This was posted in the thread about the 2015 regulations:

The WCA Board has given WRC clearance to allow stickerless cubes for 2015. (Provided that clear, carefully written regulations will be made in time, which shouldn't be an issue)

Thus, we would like to shift discussion to tiles and pillowed cubes.

So not yet, but probably next year.
