We not the wssa as kir said earlier in this theard
No event should need it and takes time and at worlds watching all the magic solvers in slow motion is...
In comps events take time bld is the worst for this of you did this for magic it is more time and isn't worth it

Why don't the people watch the slow motion while others do blind, since it takes time like you said?

What the comp is small watching event in slowmotion for cubing is stupi the only event that it might be useful in is 2x2 for sub 1 singles by those a rare their has been six. Magic has had heaps of sub 1 .9 .8 singles and averages

I rest my case...

In a way, I am somewhat sad to see magic go, but I am glad that it finally happened. Many newer and/or younger competitors often learn magic as a "2nd" event to participate in before they begin to learn other puzzles. Also, some VERY young competitors only know how to solve a magic. With that being said, judging and officiating these events at a competition is an absolute nightmare and getting rid of them will save myself and others more than a few headaches. Good riddance...

I have often interjected my desire for skewb to be adopted as an official event for the last couple of years. While I don't believe this should happen strictly due to other events being removed, I hope that a couple fewer events will reduce the number of barriers.
