Rules

1. All participants should bring their own cubes (only 3x3x3). Cubes must be fully operational such that normal scrambling is operational.
2. Each face of the cube should have a distinct colour which should be solid.
3. Modifications to enhance the cube are not permitted.
4. Cubes must be clean and must not have any markings, elevated pieces, damage, or other differences that significantly distinguish any piece from a similar piece. Exception: a logo (must be placed on a center piece)
   1. Cubes can have reasonable wear at the discretion of the organizer.
5. Cubes must be approved by the organizer before use in the competition.
6. Scrambling of the cube will be done by the organizer by using a computer generated random scramble sequence.
7. Scrambling will be done by keeping white face on top and green face in front.
8. If the cube pops in between a solve, then
   1. The participant may choose to repair the piece by putting the popped piece back and continue to solve. No extra time or tools will be provided for the same.
   2. The participant may choose to stop the attempt.
9. Cube is considered solved when all the coloured parts are re assembled (in any orientation).
   1.  If no further moves are required to bring the puzzle to solved state, the puzzle is considered solved.
   2. If one move is required to bring the puzzle to solved state, the puzzle is considered to be solved with a time penalty (+2 seconds)
   3. If more than one move is required to bring the puzzle to solved state, the puzzle is considered unsolved (DNF)

 

Event Format

1. All participants will be given seven attempts one by one.
2. Average time will be calculated by excluding the two worst times from the 7 attempts. If there are more than 2DNF, then average will be DNF.
3. The Android application Finger timer will be used for measuring the time. All participants are advised to practice on the same. The application can be downloaded from here: http://goo.gl/6l7Ss9
