I assume so, It's at the World Championship.

It's at the world championship, but it's not yet an official event. I would assume that if it is to become one, it will need to be introduced into the official regulations, which will probably happen at the beginning of next year at the usual time.

Oh, I thought it had to be an official event to be at a competition.... My mistake.

We're allowed to have non-official events at competitions; it's just that they don't count and won't go in the official database. The Rubik's 360 is a special case - it's being sponsored, so the competition is being partially paid for (and therefore made possible) by adding that event. The same thing is true about the Touch Cube, I think.

I think the 360 would be a very fun addition to the events!
I hope it becomes one, but I'm not sure how many competitors it would have at the average competition.
