What about 4 and 5 blind? Im not the biggest fan of 5 bld.
What would be the point of removing them? Sure, not as many people do them, but that's because they take a lot more skill and practice than other events. I'm not a fan of them either, but that doesn't mean they should be removed.What about 4 and 5 blind? Im not the biggest fan of 5 bld.
Personally, I think big blind is extremely impressive to watch, and as is previously stated, should still be an event for those blind specialists like Stanley Chapel etc, even though most cubers do not have time to learn to that extentWhat would be the point of removing them?

Remove clock! Honestly, I don't think a person who can only solve a clock out of all WCA events is a cuber.Honestly, no event should be removed. Clock would have been removed if it weren't for Rubik's.
Is it hard compares to a 3x3?Remove clock! Honestly, I don't think a person who can only solve a clock out of all WCA events is a cuber.
Not really.Is it hard compares to a 3x3?
Not that I would ever want to learn it!Not really.
I have no problems with my Clock. It turns smoothly, the pins stay in place. It only took me 30 years to break in!clock is a decent event,the only problem is clock hardware absolutely sucks and it's on par with magic hardware
i think the issue is that clock is like the harder BLD events,it has a small devoted following
no company seems to sell a factory magnetized clock though,and the lingao clock has mixed reviewsI have no problems with my Clock. It turns smoothly, the pins stay in place. It only took me 30 years to break in!
My point is that the original Rubik's Clock doesn't need to be magnetised. It's just good.no company seems to sell a factory magnetized clock though,and the lingao clock has mixed reviews
If the Rubik's brand version is the best, hardware has a long way to goMy point is that the original Rubik's Clock doesn't need to be magnetised. It's just good.
it needs to be magnetised if you're going for wr though,and only 2 companies make clock,neither of which are known for good puzzlesMy point is that the original Rubik's Clock doesn't need to be magnetised. It's just good.
Yeah. there's only two choices and one isn't available for sale anymore. And the Lingao has sucky pins.If the Rubik's brand version is the best, hardware has a long way to go
That certainly would help. I can't see companies like Gan making one, but Qiyi and Moyu is a possibility, Qiyi more soYeah. there's only two choices and one isn't available for sale anymore. And the Lingao has sucky pins.
Qiyi was rumored to be making one a while back, but I think it got canceled.That certainly would help. I can't see companies like Gan making one, but Qiyi and Moyu is a possibility, Qiyi more so
Why does everything have to be so spectator-friendly? The reason we cube is for the enjoyment. It doesn’t have to be spectator friendly to be fun, and if these events are fun and fit reasonably well into the event list, then they shouldn’t be removed.I came at this for a community POV. The cubing community needs more followers and if we keep events such as multiblind and FMC these events aren't entertaining. I think we should:
REMOVE: FMC, multiblind, clock, and maybe feet.
ADD: 2BLD, and maybe a shape mod like mirror cube.
I think this would add to the community and help cubing grow as a sport
