More official events?

[Spitfire97]

Do you think we should have more official events like:
Team BLD
Team Solving(1 move at a time)
Teamsolving head to head
head to head normal 3x3
multi 2x2 BLD
2x2 BLD ( probably wont happen to to the ability to get lucky)
and lots more post what you think
Jtw2007-skewb
me- OH 2x2

Hmmm, don't people vote in event around feb?

I remember that when the 6x6 and 7x7 were added.

9e) New official events may be added each calendar year, and existing official events may be removed.
9e1) The decision to add or remove an event is made by the WCA Board, based on feedback by the community.

Yeah skewb should be added

I understand how much people like feet
But Im sure it has been a hassle to get scramblers for feet right?

+1

Skewb and possibly those super crazy magics on C4Y

Team BLD
Team Solving(1 move at a time)

Those are fun events, but I don't know if its a good idea to make them official.

For team BLD if the judge has to hold a piece of paper in front of the solver, it may make it difficult for the caller to see the cube

For team solving it may be hard for the judge to see if they are actually doing one move at a time, and if they are communicating by pointing to pieces or something

maybe we could allow pointing to pieces legal?

Match the Scramble and Snake.

Match the Scramble and Snake.

Isn't that just reverse fewest moves or could it be done timed. That would be a laugh, see who can match a scramble the fastest.

 

[JTW2007]

I don't see why not.

Scramble a cube, take a solved cube and 'match the scramble'. It's an event in the weekly forum competition and was done as a mystery event at the UK Masters 2009. I like it.

 

[Jake Gouldon]

In a couple of years, I would like to see gigaminx as a side event perhaps...

 

[Cyrok215]

I think we should get an event like most cubes solved in 3 minutes or something. Also Relays.

 

[Spitfire97]

+1 Relays
most cubes in an hour is for guiness which I am going to attempt to break next year

 

[Weston]

BLD square-1 would be nice.
If it were an official event, i would go learn how to do it.
Also OH square 1 is fun.

 

[Spitfire97]

I have done 1 SQ-1 BLD
never again
I even forgot some of the BLD algorithms
I might generate them again and post a video on how to do it
