Introducing WRC Announcements

Starting with the May 21 update, all significant updates to the WCA Regulations and/or Guidelines will be announced by the WRC in a post at www.worldcubeassociation.org/regulations/announcements Such posts will also be made “sticky” on the main WCA homepage for a while, so that they are always at the top of the page.
