I came up with some ideas that could be (and should be..) potentially implemented in future.
● Feet format should be changed from mo3 to ao5, because there is actually no reason for using mo3. It is also extremaly easy in this event to get a (rolling) pop and kill the mean right away.
● Averages and means should take into account 3rd decimal. In my opinion this is the biggest nonsense in the WCA regulations. Someone who has faster average can lose a championship with someone who has worse average. And the second person can be rewarden in WR, which is clearly unfair.
Example:
Lucas Etter's: (10.54), 6.77, (5.85), 8.25, 6.38 = 7.13(3)
Michał Pleskowicz: 6.41, (9.00), 7.56, 7.41, (6.08) = 7.12(6)
If they would compete in the same tournament, for example World Championship, Lucas would won the title, because he has better single. Michał has better average, but he would lost. It is the difference of 0.00(6) seconds which should be rounded in favor of Michał.
If someone has average of 12.000 and the other person has the average of 12.00(6), then according to regulations the second person's average is rounded to 12.01. But it's still the difference of 0.00(6) seconds like before. Where is the consequence?
This was just an example, if their averages would be replaced, I would still recall this situation.
In my opinion the 3rd decimals should not be shown in the person's average, it would look kinda ugly. The avarages should be simply in the right order in the WCA rankings.. if someone is faster, then he should have higher rank. It's logical.
● Making 4BLD and 5BLD mo3 recognised in official WCA rankings. It can be done, it was done many times and I still don't see a reason why it's not official yet.
● This is just an interesting idea. It would be nice to have competition like FMC Europe every year, but with all the events. It would be much more prestigious than Euro since almost everyone would attend a competition like this. Maybe even on the world scale? "World Rubik's Cube day", held in several dozen of countries accros the world in one day. Just imagine
