2 is a lot smaller of a number than I remembered but I looked at the regulations in the way back machine and it looks like it's been that way for a while. I kind of wonder why they'd have it at such a low number.

The scrambler that is usually used to generate the scrambles had a minimum move count of like 13. You were probably thinking of that.

I don't know why it's 2 either as you might as well make it 1. They accept that the chance of such a short scramble coming up is too small to happen.

Thanks! I bet that's exactly what created my confusion
