Hi ! That's more evidence to keep the current rule, allowing ONE pop. It really is no problem timewise to allow a few ppl one more solve due to (accidental) pop. And ppl can cube faster more relaxed, not having to worry too much about pops. Anyway, i feel this topic is "out-debated". What happens will happen. Unless the WCA board decides that we gonna have a vote or something over it :-)
I have written lots here about popping, but still my main concerns are that twisting centers should be allowed and also a single broken center (or any single cubie) as long as there is no ambiguity the cube/puzzle is solved. There is no way to benefit from those cube defects :-) -Per > --- In [email protected], "Stefan Pochmann" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > --- In [email protected], Lars Petrus <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> > wrote: > > > > I was imagining some future competition with more attempts, maybe 10 > or > > 20, and every solve counting. > > Ah, ok.
