3x3x3 relays as an official event?

[RNewms27]

Good point. Maybe it should just be a time limit of 2 minutes, but then there's gonna be a lot of ties....
My solution to reduce the number of ties is to rank the competitors by number of solved cubes first, then the total solve time (they may stop before the 2 minute mark). If they end up attempting another 3x3 but don't finish it by the time the 2 minutes are up, then the number of cubes solved will be counted and the solve time will be 2 minutes.

Is it just me, or has this already been established for multiBLD? :/

I believe it was already assumed it would go from # of cubes to solve time. MBLD rules. Basically the same concept, but much shorter and, in my opinion, much more interesting than having memorization before a solve.

I would recommend not having 20 cubes possible because of the grand scavenger hunt you have beforehand to gather 20 Dayans. MBLD usually has a decent amount of Rubik's/Dollar cubes because it does not impact the attempt very much and not everyone is a millionaire.

(Keeping in mind this won't happen, here I go

At the You Can Do the Cube competitions in the MD-VA-DC Area, a team of up to 8 people solve 25 cubes in the fastest time. At the YCDTC competitions, other teams scramble for other teams, which I say isn't as effective, but I doubt much cheating would ever occur.

Although it won't ever be official, this would be a fun unofficial event

sounds like an event for the unofficial fun-ness. Not an event to practice and be an actual event

In reply to OP:

3x3s are the most available. This doesn't make the event easy to run, popular, and sensible. Unfortunately, you'll have to try again.

And about the comment someone else made about Skewb not being added, the WRC's main objective right now (as far as I know) is to make the regs Stefan-proof.

As for making the event easy to run, the judges scramble all the cubes at once, in one sitting. Then, they get concealed until the competitor decides to begin inspection/the solve. Assuming a 2 minute time limit for the solves, even with maybe like 50 competitors and just 4-5 timers it can easily be all done within an hour.
As for popularity, 3x3 relays probably wouldn't be the first couple of events considered for being made official, since most cubers probably would be satisfied with the standard 3x3 event, along with all the other variations.

A 2-minute limit is pretty strict, but I suppose it works for both time efficiency, and the fast that cubers don't have to lug around fifty or so cubes. I just don't think it would have the amount of popularity or the amount of support to make it an event, sorry.
Also, the points system would be like the MultiBLD system?
