Is anyone besides Lucas and me actually down to see Team BLD implemented?

I am actually all for it, but it sounds complicated to implement. Would it be timed as you are a caller or the solver. Would it be best of 2 and see which result is better regardless of what position you are in, or a standard average of five for each competitor in each position?
 
Yeah, but OH is semi cool. Feet is just kind of disgusting.

Has anyone actually justified their reasons for saying feet is stupid? Other than "feet is just stupid?" I've seen the argument from a non-cuber's perspective but when has any WCA decision been made on what non-cubers think...

Also, don't a lot of the same arguments for feet apply for OH as well?

As for 15 puzzle, where would be draw the line between a 'twisty' puzzle and just a generic puzzle? A lot of the same logic for putting in 15 puzzle also applies to adding Sudoku as an official event, to give an extreme example.

How about an average of 3 for each position, then the two remaining times are averaged and would be the total time for that team of two. That would require each person to be good at calling, and solving to get a good time.

I would be all in for team events, as they would add a whole new, awesome aspect. I think Team BLD would be awesome, but don't forget factory solves either! :)

Yeah, but factory solves would be impossible to define, because there are many different methods and sub methods to solving, what some consider to be a step, others might not.
 
Why are we even talking about 15 puzzle? It isn't a twisty puzzle nor a rubik's product. Just because some people in the community like it it doesn't mean we should add it. We might as well add 2048, minesweeper or shirt-folding.

Also, once I wasn't against feet at all, but I've been changing my mind recently.

One other point on 15 puzzles: misalignment penalties would be a pain to judge using the current standards we use for twisty puzzles. Measuring half of a slide wouldn't be too easy.

It would be judged based on the area of the tile. If the misaligned tile goes over at least half of the number above, then it is misaligned. Although, the slidypuzzles I had never really misaligned... They just stayed put after the solve, even after shaking it a bit.

What if 3 tiles in the bottom row are off by 1 slide? DNF? +2? What if only 2 in the bottom row are off by a slide?

I'm not really against adding it but I think it would be hard to judge. Also doesn't it kind of take a long time to scramble properly?
