New event ideas

[Kirjava]

People are seriously suggesting 2x2x2BLD?

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.

What about those that have no arms?

They can compete in regular 3x3.

Skewb, Rubik's snake, 2x2x2 OH, 2-4 and 2-5 layer cube relay.

Motivations.
Skewb: It's a common and inexpensive puzzle, with practice the avg will be sub 10 for a lot of competitors so it's not time consuming, and its easy fun and different to solve.

Rubik's snake: It's a old Rubik's brand product. It's not a Puzzle, as is not magic and master magic, but it's fun and quick to solve (you solve it from straight to a ball). As magic and master magic this toys are fun for beginners and can truly work as a gateway "puzzle" to heavier solving

2x2x2 OH: Why not? Bigger cubes OH would be to time consuming but 2x2x2 is quick and in a nice size for OH.

Relays: It's fun, best of one sins it would be to time consuming to do more.

360 degrees BLD

I think that solving in a mirror would be a fun little challenge, with a paper or something in between the person and the cube so they can only see the mirror. I doubt it will get added, but it is really fun.

Mirror blocks BLD, no inspection

 

[Mr Cubism]

Snake with feet BLD....joking

IT'S NOT A THREAT IT'S A PROMISE

 

[Erzz]

Two cubes OH at the same time blindfolded.

Two cubes OH at the same time blindfolded.

Add 1 more cube, with feet

 

[qqwref]

Gigaminx with feet
6x6 multiBLD
Most 4x4's solved in 10 minutes
Rubik's Magic + Master Magic relay (scrambled)
Bandaged Cube OH
Square-1 one-handed + Square-2 two-handed relay
Rubik's 360 + Rubik's Revolution + Rubik's Slide relay (aka "the triple threat")
2x2+3x3+5x5+7x7 relay (we can add 11x11 if verdes ever makes it)

 

[Cyrus C.]

If we had to add more events, which I don't think we should, Skewb and 3x3x2.

 

[LewisJ]

Square-1 one-handed + Square-2 two-handed relay

2x2+3x3+5x5+7x7 relay (we can add 11x11 if verdes ever makes it)

I like these.

Also, regarding 2x2BLD - it wouldn't be ridiculously close to 2x2 times, memorization time would become the big differentiating factor. Sure, lots of people can pull off 1-look solved - but how long does it take them to come up with the solution? 15 seconds is a long inspection time for 2-5 second solves!

I believe Skewb is likely to be added next year, based on previous conversations. I'm not sure of the exact number, but Skewb has been held unofficially at numerous competitions this year already.

I think domino/2x3x3 would be nice, however we already have so many events, I don't see it happening. If one/some events were dropped, then perhaps it would be an alternative, especially since it could be a fairly quick event.

 

[Carrot]

skewb.. (then I can practise pyraminx AND skewb )

 

[Thompson]

I would like skewb
