The Name of Multiple Blindfolded

[qqwref]

Why not just change rule 9i3) to mention that if there's a major change to the event (that would seriously conflict with how it used to be done, ie. people going way over 1 hour before), records can be erased?

Change it in the past, you mean? It doesn't matter what changes we make to the regulations because the 2009 regulations are not actually official yet. So if the 2008 regulations say something about what will happen when we change an event's rules, those are the regulations that we have to follow. I don't understand how you could be confused about this; it's very straightforward. If you change rule 9i3 for the 2009 regulations, it will only affect future changes.

I like this idea. This name is cool.

Nope, that name is just stupid and not descriptive at all.

Oops, forgot about that
I think 9i3) should be changed anyway, in case this happens again in the future.

I find this overall a bad plan, the hour limit. Multi BLD is showing how many cubes you can solve blindfolded, not how fast. Why can't people be happy just having 2/2 multi accomplished, whether it is or is not under an hour?

Because we want to have multiBLD in a competition. Unless the organizer really, really, really, really loves that event, there is not enough time for someone to sit down and do as many cubes as they can as slowly as they want. The only options for the future of multiBLD are (1) limit the time for everyone to a specific amount so that any competition can hold the event, or (2) don't hold it in competition at all. And it seems that most of the top multi competitors would prefer option 1. I think option 2 is also viable, but it would require a huge rule change and lots of discussion (for example: when is the attempt valid? do you need a WCA delegate to be there? is there a limit on how many attempts someone can do, or how often someone can do an attempt? how do you make it fair to all competitors? etc. etc. etc.).
