Me who gets a +16 intentionally: *my goals are beyond your understanding*

[bossinater]

"Who here has actually read all the regulations?"
Me, who has: "Only losers would 😅"

[KeisariCubes]

J perm: gets +16.
*Still* *better* *than* *my* *average*

[noo]

When u realise that his 16 second penalty solve is faster than ur pb

I read through the regulations and found an interesting rule: organizers are allowed to modify the stackmat timers at the discretion of a WCA delegate, such as taping batteries in or placing o rings around the reset button.

Interesting fact:
I took my friend to his first cubing competition once, and he didn't know how to use a timer
And Kit Clement was at that competition, so he taught my friend how to use a stackmat timer
And then Kit continued to watch his solve, which was nice

The most common mistake is not praying for a last layer skip.

can we turn these like in to subs ;)

The WCA rules are surprisingly easy to read. And if you're only competing in one or two events, lots of rules simply won't apply to you. I highly encourage everyone to read all the rules that apply to them.

[t_raks]

This going to be useful, i really want to go to my first WCA comp

[saishreyasprabhu]

I once was in a competition and when I finished the solve I thought my computer was in front of me so I reached to hit the space bar and forgot that I had a timer

[redrivas]

My best solve went from 1 minute to 27 seconds in one month because of your tutorials

[lpehfxt]

The competition registeration opened at 21:00. I registered at exactly 21:01 and there were already 65 participants. At 21:04 there were 125, whitch was the limit. Keep in mind in greece, where i live in there arent as many cubers

[cubenator]

Thanks JPerm!
This really did boost up my confidence on not doing anything wrong! Thanks :)

[sweetysureka]

And yes... He uploaded this when no one can go to a cubing competition.

[XR]

2:26 and you were still faster than me😭😭😭

[ThePuzzleTurner]

awesome! I haven't competed in a while so I definitely needed this before my upcoming comps :)

[danielayoo]

I asked JPerm when he’d break the world record…he says Sune

[thenegotiator]
