If you could add a WCA Event what would it be?

Wasn't 3x3 without inspection an event at some point (officially or unofficially)?
I always thought that sounded cool, seeing as how it's timed like a blind solve. I would (re?)add that as an event!

I also think it would be cool if the WCA experimented with different puzzles that already exist to see which one would make for a decent potential event. Even if they don't find a puzzle they like, I'd like to hear their thoughts on why they don't use the puzzle in questions (i.e. "too big/small," "too easy/hard," "too time-consuming," etc.).
 
. Master Pyraminx
. Mirror Blocks (3x3 and 2x2)
. a difficult shapeshifting cuboid
. Ghost Cubes! (2x2-4x4)
. void cubes
 
I don't like a single suggestion in this thread so far with the exception of BLD mirror blocks without inspection. Tactually reading a cube is a completely new skill not used in any other event. Plus it allows actual blind people to participate in cubing competitions.
 
i thought of this one day in my dreams!

3x3 Scramble
show participants a scrambled 3x3, then they must memorise it and solve an unscrambled 3x3 into the shown scramble.

basically solve it just like any 3x3, and any method would still work.

Anyone relatively good at 3BLD can easily do a cube duplication: Memorize the first cube and execute in reverse order.
 
Might as well just remove clock since moyu and qiyi won't do sh*t about clock and instead just add the leaf cube line from qiyi and fidget spinners from moyu

It isn't any different of a solve then 3x3, though. I don't think that any of the 3x3 shape mods will be added at all unless the WCA is that desperate. We should try and find puzzles that

1- bring a new idea to the WCA

2- have a unique solving experience

3- have enough of a community interest

I can only think of kilominx and some types of cuboids that fit these parameters.

Otherwise, I don't see why any other events should be added right for the next few years. The WCA has enough of a variety in events to keep everyone happy.

But what wouldn't be fun about adding 10 different 3x3 shape mods that you solve the exact same way you solve a 3x3...

I completely agree with you
