New event ideas

[tx789]

I thought it would be interesting

One haned 4x4x4, one handed 3x3 blindfloded

 

[Forte]

One haned 4x4x4

I've only seen the two-haned version :O

 

[IamWEB]

Hane-Hane!

OH MultiBLD 4x4x4 in sub-10: or fail...

 

[Tim Major]

Don't we have enough? >_<
I'm actually in favour of feet being dumped though, but I guess that won't happen. If you've ever been to a competition with most/all events, you'll realise how time consuming it is.

 

[RCTACameron]

There are a lot of possibilities, but some may not be entered by many people.

Like:

• 
  2x2 BLD

• 2x2/4x4/5x5 OH

• Relays

• Match the scramble

• Skewb

• Domino

• Square-2

• Gigaminx

• Pyramorphinx

• Snake

• 360

It would be good to see some of these in the future.

The best way of getting new events approved is to try them out as unofficial events in competition. At Finish Open 2010 they did Snake and Skewb as unofficial events. Then suggest the new event when the regulations are to be updated again.

Get rid of Feet? Are you serious?!

Since when is being time consuming indicative of being a bad event? What about 7x7? Should we get rid of that too?

I vote we get rid of Magic if anything.

But that's not what this topic's about. It's about the idea of adding events, not taking them away.

I thought 360 should've been added by now but w/e.

• Domino

That would be cool. I think 2bld would be cool also, but only as a mo3 or avg5, because single solve would be based too much on luck.

I never said events that were time consuming should be removed. I should've given reasons, but I just didn't realise people cared about it all that much. Since that post I spoke to Anssi, and that's changed my perspective.
I don't really like the idea of 360 being added. I don't get your point of taking magic out, and adding 360. If you don't like magic, because it's just from 1 state every time, to the same finishing state, or the repetitive-ness of it, then why add 360. Same start and finish every time >_<

Yeah, like if you got a 1 move layer, 6 move CLL and no LL rotation. If this became an event, I would try to look ahead to the whole solve using CLL on some, but just have to use a proper blindsolving method on others.

Domino would be a great event, because it's similar to the other cube events, and not very time consuming. I guess you could also do 3x3x4. So, what's your Domino single? 20.21 is mine.

I think 3x3x2, 360 and gigaminx should be added. 3x3x2 could be avg5, 360 mo3 or avg5, and gigaminx maybe best of 1 or 2

I really don't think Gigaminx is that imortant. It's insanely time consuming, so it would probably be something that not many competitions would have. I guess they could still do it though.

Also, I think that adding Snake and Skewb would be better than adding 360.

And what about ORANGINA?

 

[Kenneth]

There is a great chance Domino will be at the next Swedish comp.

What about those that have no arms?

They talked about the before. This would be pointless since people can do the cube in 1-look anyway. The times would be too close to actual 2x2.

In fact, I'm sure if someone tried (ahem, Anthony), they'd be able to get sub-5 avg 2x2 avg in competition, doing it BLD style (which is perfectly legal).

 

[Kirjava]

Skewb.

 

[Zane_C]

I wouldn't be that for 2BLD, the scrambles for 2x2 can vary a lot in difficulty, so if 2BLD was an event perhaps there should be an avg5 or something.

And judges being just slightly late with the paper would be a big problem.

So you should never let me be a judge during 2x2 blind.

 

[Yes We Can!]

2x2 BLD avg5.
