Definitions of time restraints:
-
Time limit: a time restraint immediately after which a competitor's attempt is stopped. If the puzzle is not solved, the attempt is labelled as DNF ("Did Not Finish").
For Rubik's Cube: Blindfolded, the attempt is stopped immediately after the cumulative amount of time across all attempts reaches 15 minutes. No additional attempts are given.
Exceptions: for Rubik's Cube: Multiple Blindfolded, the attempt is stopped, and the puzzles' resting states are evaluated to determine the competitor's score and time for the attempt. For Rubik's Cube: Fewest Moves, the competitors must hand in their submissions at this time.
NOTE: If you know you cannot solve under the time limit for an event, please refrain from registering for that event. This really helps the organisation team with accurate scheduling and the ability to better maintain our strict schedule.
For a deeper understanding of terminology used, please refer to the WCA Regulations.
