Is it normal that the DIY (the black cube from dealextreme) gets more loose as time goes on? I set my cube so that it doesn't pop, but eventually it feels more loose and now it's pops alot. I can take a whole set of three out at once and one side turns really fast. This isn't the first time. I tighten the screws up abit about a week ago now it's loose again. Does this happen to others?

10d) All pieces of a puzzle must be fully attached to the puzzle, and in their required positions. Exceptions: see Article 5 Puzzle defects.

5b5) If, after the solve, non functional parts of the puzzle are still defect (like a centre cap of a cube) or not fully rotated (like a 5x5x5 centre piece twisted in its spot), but the puzzle is otherwise unambiguously solved, the puzzle is considered solved. (discretion of the main judge)
A cube with a fallen-off centre cap is considered solved, but I don't know what happens if more than one centre piece falls out... the regulations say it's okay (if I understand them correctly), but I think I read somewhere that there's a limit of centre-caps-that-have-fallen-off

The cube must be unambiguously solved. If enough center caps are missing(4?) it is impossible to tell whether the cube is solved or in a position with only centers swapped.
