For the record, Kit emailed the board today asking if it would be in favor of considering cubes without stickers. This would not guarantee that they would be legal, but I hope that the intention to allow them will help to focus the discussion on more important issues. Yes, they improve performance. Magnets keep the cube aligned and reduce overtaking for rough turners like me. But something that is generally accepted in the world of cubing is that magnetic cubes do not help people who are not under 25 years old. Every cube I use for the competition is sticker-free. Except for my Pyraminx, because the Moyu didn`t come without stickers. Yes, sticker-free cubes are allowed in WCA competitions and are perfectly legal to use. However, in the case of blindfolded events, you need to make sure that your cube does not have a logo to avoid identification during the solution.

Personally, I do not use them. I don`t like the look and I think my appreciation was too used to black cubes, I like my cube without stickers as much as the next guy, but our politics have always been conservative. It was difficult to have an objective discussion, in part because many competitors simply want to use them (which is good!) and are not always very reasonable when it comes to expressing their reasons and discussing them (which is unproductive). I went to my first competition this year where I met Feliks, I had no idea how to prepare for a competition, so I only worked on the dice I was competing with and practiced my gaze forward and no algs.

Cubes without stickers were banned because for a while there was the idea that you could cheat if the cube was partially turned. However, it depends on the preference. Some brands only offer cubes with stickers, while others may offer both versions. However, overall performance is not affected. If you plan to use a single cube for a very long time, a cube without a sticker is highly recommended. 3h2) Puzzles whose colored plastic is visible inside the puzzle (e.g. “sticker-free” puzzles) are allowed. This does not include the following puzzles: 3h2a) puzzles with transparent pieces that can reveal more information about the state of the puzzle. Are Stiffel lamps marked?

Speeding up the dice at home and improving your skills is quite challenging, but when it comes to solving and working well in an official competitive environment, it`s a whole new ball game. Many people, including me, can sometimes do much worse with official solutions than at home, and it can be quite frustrating when this happens repeatedly. A small part of this could be a sample bias, as you`re unlikely to approach your best moments if you only do a small number of solutions in each competition compared to the unlimited solutions you can do at home. However, pressure and the competitive environment can play a major role in this regard. When I entered the place, there were about 50 people (it was a small comp) sitting and loosening their dice.

I think the best justification would be that we are willing to take the risk that this could save competitors time.
