Wouldn't it be a nice if all official competition scrambles would be stored in a database. I for my self really would like to be able to find the scrambles from my best solves in the past, especially the ones from a few years back to test my improvement. Or just any good solve from any competition that I like to try out. I also think a lot of cubers like to test doing a average from the scrambles in a competitions they couldn't attend to compare there results to the official ones.
There is also a lot of demand for the official fewest moves scrambles on this forum.
If speedcubing will survive as a serious sport for a long time, which I think it will, I think our children will thank us for preserving the scrambles for the future so that they can try them and laugh about how slow we were back in the good old days when people mainly was using Fridrich (I also use Fridrich).
Another idea I hade is that maybe all competition scrambles should be generated and posted to the organizers by some sort of WCA comity to prevent cheating. As it is now it's not hard at all to sneak in easy scrambles on purpose as a organizer to get good results.
Yes I know this will be extra work for the organizers to also post/download the scrambles to a database but I relay think this is a good idea. Some people will also have to volunteer for generating competition scrambles if this idea comes to live. Maybe a few of the WCA delegates out there could do that or other trusted members of the community. This group could also post/download the scrambles to the database after the competition. The best way in my opinion to make this data accessible is to make any solving round clickable in the official result lists to se the scrambles.
