Why no new official events?

[IMSLOW1097]

I'm pretty sure that this isn't a thread that's been made already, but i just wanted to speak my mind for a second.
Since I read about the new event ideas poll, I was incredibly excited that there were people wanted events like skewb, relays, and especially (IMO) 2x2 BLD. I thought that WCA delegates and leaders were going to actually going to take this into consideration. However, it's been a few months since I read that thread, and no new events have come up. Are the leaders not planning on it or are they going to add events soon (like around new years)? I just wanted to know.
Thanks,
Aaron

I get the impression that they just don't want to add anything.

We were promised skewb and WCA backed out of it.

If any event will be added next year, it will be skewb.

 

[cubersmith]

If any event will be added next year, it will be skewb.

That is not definite.

 

[cubernya]

Well it's what's most likely

 

[IMSLOW1097]

when would they add skewb if they did? (as in when next year?)

 

[cubernya]

According to the regs is sounds like it would happen on the 1st

Maybe we'd actually get some good skewbs if they did make it an event...my QJ's ok, but it explodes a lot and is kinda slow.

LanLan is awesome!

Remove the ball bearings from the LanLan. It doesn't make it loose like the pyraminx, and makes it a lot less clicky. Obviously lube it as well

Where to buy??

also, does 2x2 bld sound like a good idea to you guys? i think it does, but that's probably because it's the only bld event i can do...

Possibly... Say we had the .69s scramble; it's about the same controversy as 2x2 generally. However an average would be interesting.

Forgot to mention that the top method would abuse +2 with no auf on CLL

It would involve too much luck. For example, if you got a 4-move scramble like the current 2x2 single WR, you could have a 5-6 second solve.

that does make sense, but i think it would be a good idea. IMHO, i think it would be a popular event for new, up-and-coming speed cubers. Does anyone agree?

for me i would like to see Super Square-1 since the regular Square-1 is an event also team BLD

Super square 1 sounds a bit too hard, and team bld logistics would be practically impossible, considering that we've only got single-person events right now in the wca.
