# WCA Guidelines 2012
The WCA Guidelines supplement the WCA Regulations. Guidelines are numbered in
correspondence with related regulations.
To make the Regulations and Guidelines easier to read we use "he" where the
reader should read "she or he".
The use of the words "must", "must not", "shall", "shall not", "should",
"should not" and "may" comply with RFC 2119.
Note the following:
- Mutiple guidelines may correspond to the same Regulation.
- Several guidelines were moved from a previous version of the Regulations,
with their numbering preserved (and therefore are not numbered corresponding
to an existing Regulation). These are marked with [SEPARATE].
- For informational reasons, each Guideline is classified using one of the
following labels. Note that this should be treated as metadata, not a
description of importance.
- [ADDITION] Additional information to supplement the Regulations.
- [CLARIFICATION] Information to address any possible questions about
interpretation of the Regulations.
- [EXPLANATION] Information that clarifies the intent of Regulations.
- [RECOMMENDATION] Something that is not strictly mandatory, but that
should be done if possible.
- [REMINDER] Information that may be addressed other Regulations/Guideline,
but whose relevance is worth reiterating.
## Article 1: Officials
- 1c3) [RECOMMENDATION] Results should be ready at the end of the last day of
competition.
- 1c3b) [CLARIFICATION] If there are multiple groups, it is not necessary to
identify which competitor was in which heats.
- 1c4) [RECOMMENDATION] Corrections to the results should be available within
one week of the competition date.
- 1c10) [CLARIFICATION] It is sufficient to ensure access to a digital copy
of the Regulations.
- 1h) [RECOMMENDATION] All final rounds of all events, as well as all Fewest
Moves Solving rounds, should have the same scrambles for all competitors
(i.e. only 1 heat).
- 1h1) [CLARIFICATION] Judges should not start judging other competitors in
their own heat before they have finished all their attempts. However,
sometimes it is useful to permit judges to start judging other competitors in
their own heat before they have finished all their attempts. The organization
team must ensure that no judge is able to see a scramble for one of their
attempts before they attempt it.
## Article 2: Competitors
- 2c) [ADDITION] First-time competitors should register using their legal
name. They may register using a reasonable nickname, at the discretion of the
WCA Delegate.
- 2c) [ADDITION] Competitors must not provide intentionally misleading
information, and returning competitors should provide information consistent
with past information (e.g. exact name and WCA ID).
- 2d) [ADDITION] Date of birth and contact information should be especially
secured.
- 2d) [RECOMMENDATION] If a third party (e.g. journalist) asks the
organisation team to be put in contact with any competitor(s), the
competitor(s) should first be asked for consent.
- 2h) [CLARIFICATION] Competitors may be barefoot for Solving With Feet.
- 2j2) [EXAMPLE] For example, if a competitor is disqualified from an event
for failing to show up for the final round, his results from earlier rounds
remain valid.
- 2s3) [REMINDER] Special accommodations shall be noted in the Delegate
Report.
## Article 3: Puzzles
- 3a) [ADDITION] By default, a competitor shall use the same puzzle for
consecutive attempts in a speed solving round. A competitor may switch
puzzles between attempts, at the discretion of the judge or WCA Delegate.
- 3a) [CLARIFICATION] Competitors may borrow puzzles from other competitors
privately, to use in competition.
- 3a1) [CLARIFICATION] Competitors may be disqualified if they do not come
when they are called, or if they do not have a puzzle ready to submit (e.g.
if they planned to use a puzzle that another competitor is currently using,
and therefore cannot submit their puzzle at the moment).
- 3b) [CLARIFICATION] Competitors may use puzzles of any reasonable size, at
the discretion of the WCA Delegate.
- 3i) [EXAMPLE] Examples of enhancements include: new moves are possible,
normal moves are impossible, more pieces or faces are visible, colours on the
backside of the puzzle are visible, moves are done automatically, or the
puzzles has more/different solved states.
## Article 4: Scrambling
- 4b1) [REMINDER] The WCA Delegate must never re-generate any scrambles to
replace other ones for the purpose of filtering. For example, it is not be
permitted to glance at the scrambles for a competition and generate the
entire set again in order to generate "fairer" scrambles.
- 4b2) [CLARIFICATION] In general, all official scramble sequences should be
kept secret during the competition and published together after the end of
the competition (see Regulation 1c3a). In some cases (e.g. world records),
the organisation team may wish to release specific scrambles sooner after the
end of a round.
- 4d) [CLARIFICATION] Some puzzles use standard color schemes, except that
black is replaced with white. In this case, black is the darkest color and
shall not be treated as white.
- 4f) [RECOMMENDATION] The WCA Delegate should generate sufficient scrambles
for the entire competition ahead of time, including spare scrambles for extra
attempts.
- 4f) [REMINDER] If the WCA Delegate generates any additional scrambles
during the competition, he must save them (see Regulation 1c3a).
## Article 5: Puzzle Defects
- 5b5) [EXAMPLE] Example of a piece not fully placed: a 5x5x5 centre piece
twisted in its spot.
- 5b5) [EXAMPLE] Example of judging an attempt ending with a defective
puzzle: A pyraminx with a detached tip may be reassembled in three states,
one fully solved, and two "+2" states. An attempt ending in such a situation
would be assigned a "+2" penalty.
## Article 6: Awards/prizes/honours
- 6a) [SEPARATE][ADDITION] Awards, prizes or honours may be given to
competitors according to the announcement of the competition.

## Article 8: Competitions
- 8a4) [RECOMMENDATION] Changes to increase the maximum number of competitors
in qualification round or first round, or to add a qualification round for
newly registered competitors should be made at least one month before the
competition (see Regulation 9r3).

of 5" or "Mean of 3", if possible.
- 9b) [Addition] Events other than those specified in Article 9b may be held
during a competition, but will be considered unofficial and therefore will
not be included in the official results of the competition.
- 9f5) [CLARIFICATION] The result for an attempt shall only be DNS if the
competitor was eligible for the attempt and did not attempt it. If the
competitor did not qualify for an attempt (e.g. in a combined round), he does
not have any result for the attempt. In case a competitor declines to solve
any attempts for a round,
- 9q) [SEPARATE][RECOMMENDATION] Events and rounds should have at least 2
competitors.
- 9r) [SEPARATE][EXPLANATION] The goal of a qualification round is to let
unranked or low ranked competitors qualify for the first round of an event
with many registered competitors.
## Article 10: Solved State
- 10f) [EXPLANATION] The misalignment limits are selected so that they
provide a natural cutoff between one state of a puzzle (without penalty) and
a state one move away.
## Article 11: Incidents
- 11e) [CLARIFICATION] Since an appeal is not guaranteed to be successful,
the competitor may choose to keep the timer running while appealing it, and
resume the attempt when appropriate.
- 11e1) [REMINDER] The extra attempt must be scrambled using an unmodified
scramble sequence generated by an official scrambler (see Regulation 4f,
Guideline 4f).
- 11f) [EXPLANATION] [NOTE: The WCA Board needs to provide a good
justification for the video evidence regulation.]
## Article A: Speed Solving
- A1a2) [ADDITION] In case of a cumulative time limit, the judge shall record
the original recorded time for a DNF on the score sheet in parentheses, e.g.
"DNF (1:02.27)".
- A1a3) [REMINDER] The organisation team and the WCA Delegate must be mindful
that time limits influence the strategies of the competitors (e.g. rushing
the first two attempts in hopes of meeting a cutoff in a combined round), and
that changing time limits after the beginning of the round can disadvantage
some competitors unfairly.
- A1a4) [REMINDER] If a competitor has accidentally been permitted to exceed
the time limit, the time limit must be enforced retroactively, and the judge,
competitor, and WCA Delegate should be informed (see Regulation 1g2). Judges
shall always be aware of the time limit for a current attempt (which might
depend on previous attempts, in the case of a cumulative time limit).
- A1a5) [CLARIFICATION] Since it is only required that the original recorded
time must be under the time limit, the result for an attempt may be over the
time limit after time penalties are assigned.
- A2c1) [CLARIFICATION] In the past, score cards have been used to cover
puzzles while leaving somes sides exposed. This is no longer permitted.
- A3c3) [CLARIFICATION] Although the judge is required to reset the timer for
the competitor (see Regulation A3b), the competitor may reset it
before/during the inspection phase if the judge accidentally neglected to do
so.
- A6b) [EXPLANATION] The arbitrary value of 0.06 seconds was chosen to
accommodate concerns about Stackmat timer malfunctions.
## Article B: Blindfolded Solving
- B1b1) [RECOMMENDATION] Blindfolds should be checked by the WCA Delegate
before use in the competition.
## Article C: One-Handed Solving
- C1b) [CLARIFICATION] The competitor may use both hands during inspection.
- C1b) [CLARIFICATION] The competitor is not required to use the same solving
hand for different attempts of the same round.
- C1b2) [REMINDER] Use of the surface is permitted while repairing the puzzle.
## Article D: Solving With Feet
- D1c) [REMINDER] While repairing puzzle defects, other body parts must not
touch the puzzle.
## Article E: Fewest Moves Solving
- E2b) [CLARIFICATION] A competitor may choose to stop his attempt early by
handing in a solution before the time limit.
## Article H: Multiple Blindfolded Solving
- H1b1) [REMINDER] The attempt is not disqualified for reaching the time
limit, due to exceptions for Multiple Blindfolded Solving (see Regulations
A1a4 and A1a5).
- H1b1) [ADDITION] The judge may permit the competitor to continue the
attempt unofficially, but the attempt must be stopped and judged first, in
full accordance with the Regulations.
- H1d) [EXAMPLE] Example: If a competitor attempts 10 cubes, stops with a
time of 59:57, and has two time penalties, the time for the result is 59:57 +
2*2 = 60:01 (also see Guideline A1a5).
- H1d) [EXAMPLE] Example: If a competitor attempts 10 cubes, and the judge
stops him at one 60 minutes, and has two time penalties, the time for the
result is 60:00 + 2*2 = 60:04 (also see Guideline A1a5).
