Stickerless Cubes Petition

[ComputerGuy365]

I think stickerless cubes should be allowed.

Sign the petition if you agree.

I agree that stickerless cubes should be allowed, but:

Now many people may argue that you can see the color of a particular piece when its turned 45 degrees. In my opinion, this doesn't actually help you that much

It does help. It allows you to see what's on the B face without rotating.

It will literally take 0.01 seconds to slightly rotate the cube to see the color of the piece.

No, it takes a lot longer than that.

You could also say that, because it's very hard to see what colour is on B when turning quickly, stickerless cubes are like slow people purposely getting +2s in feet because they can't do a turn in 2 seconds. People are taking advantage of the regulations, but if you're turning slow enough for it to give you an advantage, it probably isn't worth preventing you doing it/using them. They can give you an advantage, but I think that with stickerless cubes, this 'advantage' doesn't really make much difference.

I totally agree, but they should be allowed. I dont really see the problem.

have you heard about the "anything goes" proposal? As soon there are some really good formulations for the proposal also stickerless cubes will be allowed. Would help much more than a petition.

Good reasons > Petition

Michael Womack made a petition on there to bring magics back and that didn't help much. I don't think this one will either.

I'm with you, although stickerless cubes will still probably not be allowed since they do give you an advantage...

I wouldn't say it like this, exactly. If we have well-written regulations that have been thought out to a degree such that delegates believe there aren't any open doors for any strange puzzles we did not forsee making legal, and if delegates agree that such proposals reflect what we want in puzzle regulations, then we will allow stickerless cubes. But that's a long process to get through first, and I wouldn't be sold on them being legal for 2015. It's definitely a possibility, but work must be done first.

If anyone would like to be a part of that, collecting unbiased community support and reasoning for allowing certain types of puzzles is good, ideas as to how we can implement them are the best. We know that the community as a whole wants stickerless cubes, so just signing a petition like this is pretty meaningless.

I

at this post quite a bit. We don't really need stickerless cubes. Advantage or not, quit the argument. It most likely won't happen in the time being.

The WCA Board and the WRC already know that a large portion of the community want stickerless cubes to be legal. Interest isn't an issue, which is pretty much all this petition would assert.

Thanks for the info!

I know, that now WCA Board is against, but I think, that they should be legal.
Petition signed.
