I've decided to biff up the previously posted table to clearly show some results on the yearly event growth.
Here is the table:

Random Observations:

Percentage-wise, Feet is the event that is growing the most the past two years!
Doubled the number of events held from 2010 to 2011 and increased 25% from 2011 to 2012.
Since 2012, there were more feet events than 4BLD.

The least held event is 5BLD.

Only Pyraminx and 3BLD had less events in the following year than the year before.

2012 was the only year that had less comps than the year before.

Nice table.

Percentage-wise, Feet is the event that is growing the most the past two years!

One reason might be that it was and is unpopular, meaning you can get good regional ranks and even national records fairly easily, which is an extra incentive for people to do it that other events don't have and might accelerate its growth. With more people competing and records getting better, this extra accelerator will be reduced.

Only Pyraminx and 3BLD had less events in the following year than the year before.
2012 was the only year that had less comps than the year before.

Fewer, not less (just saying so you know).

Lowest combined...
3x3+3bld rank
4x4+4bld rank
5x5+5bld rank

I think Feliks is number one for 3x3: 2 for 3x3, 26 for 3BLD = 28
Marcin Zalewski is close in second: 29 for 3x3, 1 for 3BLD = 30

How about adding an "overall 3x3 master", so combining all 3x3 stuff (3x3, OH, BLD, FMC, Feet).

I was thinking this too. I really want to see the list. :D

@Username

I got 375 for Marcin Zalewski, including 3x3 multi blind. That's Antoine's rank in 3x3 multi blind.

(I know you didn't ask for MBLD Antoine, but it's a 3x3 event.)

But that's multiple 3x3s :(

How about "overall single 3x3 master"?

;)

Did any of you see/try this program that I posted?

Sums of Different Combinations of Ranks Program

It can calculate all of those requests (and in fact any combination of events you want).
Short version of my previous post on how to use it: download + extract WCA export (the .tsv one), put this program in the same folder, and then it should be fairly straightforward.

I don't want to be the only one having fun with this program; you should all try it. :)

You can also download/extract it from a button on the gui, just as a note :).

Just wanted to mention a great stat: I was looking at Carrot's profile (http://www.worldcubeassociation.org/results/p.php?i=2008ANDE02) and noticed that his 3BLD time is 3:14.16, which, of course, is pi rounded to 5 digits (3.14159 -> 3.1416).

Finally someone noticing it!

my 3x3x3 single/avg used to be 9.11/11.9 which is 9/11 in both american and european calender o_O (kind of broke my average a tiny tiny bit at worlds)

o_O very interesting.

As a quick note, you are the only one who still has this single as their PB in the database. The time has been gotten before:

Megaminx - 2
4x4 - 1
Bld -3
5x5 - 1
7x7 - 1

And at least one of them got it for their PB back in 2012, though they've broken it.

They failed at life :) 3:14.16 is pretty fast for 7x7x7 o_O

I believe Mike's family has (at least) five members and can't be the first with "all 4".

In both of those all 5 people are from the same family.
