World Cube Association Tournament regulationsVersion: November 7, 2004
Note: To make the regulations easier to read we use he where the reader should read she or he.
Female and male competitors/officials are both very welcome.
Article 1: OfficialsA tournament must have independent judges, score takers and scramblers for each event of the tournament. Every event must have a main judge who is responsible for following the rules and making decisions in case of doubt. Judges must follow the procedures and if the procedure is not followed correctly by the competitor, or in special cases (like puzzle defects, incomplete solves, equipment failure), the main judge decides about the outcome, based on the rules provided below.
The main judge for an event must be independent and may not compete in the event. Scramblers and judges can compete in the event, but they have to compete before all other competitors, with the scrambling and judging done by someone not competing in the event.
Judges may begin a round later than scheduled, but not sooner than scheduled without a clear announcement to all competitors. Judges may allow a competitor to begin a turn later than their scheduled time. Judges may award a competitor another turn or qualifying turn due to interference or distraction created by a person or persons or facility distractions such as power failure, emergency alarms, etc.
Article 2: CompetitorsAny person can be a competitor during a tournament, if he:
- accepts the rules of the tournament;
- meets the qualification times which must be clearly announced before the tournament.
Competitors younger than 18 must first ask their parent(s)/guardian(s) for permission.
An open tournament is open to anyone.
A closed tournament may be open t
- citizens of specific geographical areas
- members of specific clubs
- students / employees of specific organizations.
No other distinctions are allowed to declare a tournament closed.
Registrants must provide all required information for their registration to be considered complete. All information can be used for the tournament only, and can only be given to other organizations/persons after permission from the competitor.
Competitors must show a passport/id-card during registration at the location to prove their identity.
Competitors must obey venue rules and are expected to conduct themselves in a manner considerate of others at all times during the tournament and while at the tournament venue. Competitors must remain quiet when inside the designated tournament area. Talking is permitted, but must be kept at a reasonable level, and away from those competing.
Competitors may dress in jeans, pants, shorts, slacks, skirts, shoes, T-shirts or dress shirts. Hats may be worn. Clothes can not display vulgar language or have inappropriate pictures. Shirt and shoes are always required.
Disqualification of a competitor may be enforced by the main judge for the following reasons:
- competitor fails to show up for the event in time for registration;
- competitor fails to show up for a round of tournament in a given event;
- competitor is suspect of cheating or defrauding the judges during tournament;
- competitor is unruly, disrespectful of other's personal space or person conducting themselves in a way that is unlawful or indecent or for damage to the venue facilities or anyone's personal property within the venue;
- competitor interferes or becomes a blatant distraction to others during the tournament;
- competitor refuses to abide by any of the rules herein during the tournament.
The main judge shall govern and determine grounds for any disqualification at its sole discretion after citing grounds for disqualification to any competitor. Disqualification occurs immediately or after warning based on the nature of the infraction.
Competitors are not eligible for any refund of any expenses they incurred to be part of the tournament as a result of disqualification.
Competitors may challenge a ruling in a round in verbal form and be subject to the presiding judges discretion. However, disputes or challenges are only allowed within the parameters of a judges discretion. No disputes or challenges are allowed regarding to the tournament rules herein. Failure by the competitor to accept the final ruling will be grounds for disqualification.
Article 3: PuzzlesCompetitors can use their own puzzles. The organization team of a tournament must provide some extra, reasonably smooth and stable, puzzles for competitors who do not have a good puzzle. The provided puzzles are available to the competitor preferably immediately after the registration for the event until the end of the event, but at least 5 minutes before the competitor must compete.
Competitors can use any normal 6 color sticker scheme for cubes, as long as the cubes show 1 color per face in solved position. The colors of the cube must be solid and clearly distinct from one another. The cube must either have colored stickers or colored tiles.
Puzzles may be made smoother internally by sanding or using any lubricant. No modifications are allowed that enhance the basic concept of the puzzle. Puzzles may not have any textures or markings that distinguish one piece from another.
Any modifications to a puzzle that result in poor performance or results by a competitor are not grounds for additional chances to compete in any given round and turn.
Puzzles must be approved by a judge before the competitor can compete.
Article 4 ScramblingThe puzzles are to be scrambled using a computer-generated random scrambling algorithm. A scrambler must apply the scrambles.
The number of moves varies for each puzzle:
All scramble programs kindly provided by Jaap Scherphuis.
All scramble programs in a zipped file.
Every competitor has to solve the same scrambles per round.
Article 5 Puzzle DefectsPuzzle defects are unintentional defects of puzzles (like: pieces popping, wires breaking, screws/caps/stickers falling off) that make it impossible or much harder to solve the puzzle.
In best of rounds solves with a puzzle defect cannot be exchanged by an extra attempt. If a puzzle defect occurs, the competitor may choose to repair the puzzle and continue the solve.
In average of rounds solves with a puzzle defect may be exchanged by an extra attempt, depending on the announcement for the tournament. There may be maximum 1 extra attempt per round.
In case of puzzle defects, the following rules must be followed:
- In order for the competitor to declare a puzzle defect, he must declare the puzzle defect ten seconds after the puzzle defect occurs or three seconds after the reassembly of the puzzle.
- If a non functional part of the puzzle is defect (like a center cap of a cube) during the solve, the competitor may continue the solve at his own discretion.
- If a functional part of the puzzle is defect (like a piece popping) during the solve, the competitor may repair his puzzle and continue the solve at his own discretion.
- If a competitor chooses to repair the puzzle, then he may only repair the defective pieces. After repairing the puzzle, the position may not intentionally be easier to solve than before the defect. If during the solve, the competitor notices that the puzzle is unsolvable, he may disassemble and assemble max. 3 pieces to make it solvable again. The puzzle must be completely solved, except for non functional pieces, when the time is stopped.
- A judge may decide not to award an extra attempt if the competitors puzzle defect is ruled intentional under discretion of the judge. The judge may disqualify a solve if the competitors puzzle defect is ruled intentional under discretion of the judge.
Article 6 Awards/prizes/honorsAwards, prizes or honors may be given to competitors according to the announcement of the tournament.
Competitors must attend the winners ceremony to be eligible for awards/prizes/honors.
Article 7 EnvironmentCompetitions can be held on any location, inside or outside, on special stages or normal floors. Audience must be at least 5 feet away from the competitors.
Lighting of the tournament area needs special attention, with preferably white light, so that competitors can easily distinguish the colors of puzzles.
The timer is placed on a table, desk or console with a maximum height of 1 meter (allowance of 1.05 meter).
Competitors may choose to solve while sitting or while standing. The timing device may be placed at a height that makes it less convenient to start/stop the timer while sitting.
