 - A1a2++++++) [CLARIFICATION] If a cumulative time limit applies to a combination of rounds for different events, the order in which attempts are done is the order in which those attempts count towards the cumulative time limit.
 - A1a3+) [REMINDER] The organization team and the WCA Delegate must be mindful that time limits influence the strategies of the competitors (e.g. rushing the first two attempts in hopes of meeting a cutoff in a cutoff round), and that changing time limits after the start of the round can disadvantage some competitors unfairly.
 - A1a4+) [REMINDER] If a competitor has accidentally been permitted to exceed the time limit, the time limit must be enforced retroactively, and the judge, competitor, and WCA Delegate should be informed (see [Regulation 1g2](regulations:regulation:1g2)). Judges must always be aware of the time limit for a current attempt (which might depend on previous attempts, in the case of a cumulative time limit).
+- A2a3+) [REMINDER] Competitors should not be permitted to view the scramble sequences for their own group even after having completed all their attempts, unless permission has been granted by the WCA Delegate (see [Guideline 4b2+](guidelines:guideline:4b2+)). 
 - A2c1+) [REMINDER] In the past, score sheets have been used to cover puzzles while leaving some sides exposed. This is no longer permitted.
+- A2c2+) [REMINDER] If the competitor accidentally views a scramble they have not yet received, the competitor must not receive that scramble for their own attempt and an extra attempt must be granted instead.
 - A2d1+) [ADDITION] If the scramble signature is found to be missing before an attempt, the puzzle should immediately be returned to a scrambler for verification and a corresponding signature.
 - A2d1++) [ADDITION] An attempt must not be disqualified solely due to a missing scramble signature. If a scramble signature is missing after the beginning of an attempt, the judge must allow the attempt to continue (if it is still in progress) and the WCA Delegate should allow the result to be kept. However, the WCA Delegate may replace the attempt with an extra attempt if they have a reason (other than the missing signature) to suspect that the scramble was incorrect.
 - A2d1+++) [REMINDER] Although the WCA Delegate may allow several individual attempts with missing scramble signatures to count, they should ensure that missing scramble signatures do not become common.
