Any questions about WPC Round 13 should be asked here.

Can you have intersections on white Masyu Circles or circles that are not Masyu clues?

No. See the introduction of this round:
"The loop may cross itself (unless this is prohibited by a special rule for an individual grid), but not in cells with circles."

question about the scoring: I count 64 Rules (8 puzzles with 8 Rules each) and 8 Puzzles, so up to 40*64+8*90= 3280 points for partial solutions, while a full solution gives 3000. That doesnt seem quite right. Does it mean that you get 40 Points for identifying a rule only after you know BOTH puzzles using that rule? In that case partial credit would add up to 2000, which seems more sensible.

Count the rules again

56*40 + 8*90 = 2960.

oh... thanks
