but why is fto at the last?
keep it in between clock(ig) and megaminx

It is probably last because it is the last event to be added and it is sort of its own category.

Or maybe cuz it isnt yet in comps, its just there until 2027, cuz pyraminx and megaminx are in the same branch as fto (face turning ...), it'll prob go in the place of clock (now it will really look like we got fto for the price of clock)

The WCA board said that FTO will be available for comps starting on the January 2nd

Oh, they wanted to be special and not make changes on 1 Jan like normal people do! Or maybe it's because there was already a multi-day competition planned that ends on Jan 1?

I think a big reason they did it is because the 2nd is a Saturday which is when most comps are on, and people are given the most free time. It's also not directly on a big holiday, New Years Day.

Usually most regional organisations - refrain from hosting competitions around important occasions, mainly Christmas and new years - for example, this year, the USA is not hosting any comps from 20/12/2026 to 2/1/2027. There is no point in making a change applicable from a date such as January 1st if most associations will not hold any competitions on that date.

There’s also a really good FTOer from NZ named Brandon Harris. His PB ao100 is 15.27
