      (New) What cubes should be added to the WCA events list?

      Yes, but the principle is meant for when an event is introduced. Excluding Skewb, all events had a phase where development was still happening when put it. Even 3x3 could have the argument that it hasn't staled yet (although we can say compared to others it has plateau'd) with the work being put...

      (New) What cubes should be added to the WCA events list?

      Ok so i'm gonna throw in my opinion cause why not... I personally feel that the 18 events we had were fine and that there was no need for change but after a bit i've come to accept the removal of feet being some of the benefits during major competitions and having achieved what i wanted to with...

      Fascinating old cubing documentary clips

      The first one seems like an action movie trailer and i love it hahaha... Thanks for finding these! (4:56-5 has to be my favourite shot of all though) anyway these are actually some very good documentary clips. Although the second one might have sprung up a few stereotypes.

      Applications for Continental Championships 2020

      The main reason why i don't see the US applying is because of nationals. It has been a reason for them not applying for world's so it wouldn't surprise me if this was the case aswell. Mexico has had pretty large competitions but i still see Canada as most likely if they were interested.

      Applications for Continental Championships 2020

      Well they'd determine continental champions etc... They have been held for years in Europe, Asia and South America. I guess the WCA just wants to expand on other continents.

      Applications for Continental Championships 2020

      So the WCA just announced that they'll be taking in applications for all continental championships: https://www.worldcubeassociation.org/posts/applications-for-continental-championships-2020 I don't know if they did a similar thing two years ago, but this is still interesting. Pre-EDIT: Who do...

      The New Method / Substep / Concept Idea Thread

      I see it now. Like on the second example solve i must've done a mistake cause i couldn't seem to get it. Also yes i went through more then the first two lines. anyway now that i have a better grasp of the method here's my opinion (doesn't have to be correct, it's an opinion): The biggest issue...

      I can't fully understand the TriBlock. What exactly are we creating?

      [Member Intro] ZZ is the future

      Actually for feet it might be the better method. See Jayden Mcneill’s ramble. Now for this. He never said that it was good for FMC but that eo was. Which unless you have 0 knowledge about FMC is true. EO is often used by top FMC solvers because of how it can create lower movecount blocks...

      Having some fun reading through 2009 replies. (not judging them considering our predictions of speed cubing in the future are gonna be as far of as these ones) ZZ didn't really go as planned did it. haha Kian would like to have a word with you xD ^^ This one basically sums up the previous...

      Accomplishment Thread

      I’m willing to believe it’s possible but considering that this scramble has already been posted in here in like 2007 it makes me think otherwise. Also it is present in ICS (Italian cube scrambler) and all those were put by hand. This said it is possible but unlikely. Also I made Feliks and...

      Possible to get fast (20-30s) using this method for square-1?

      Tbh. I feel you want to be super fast at squan then you’re gonna have to learn a lot of algs and go with vanderberg, but if you want to be decently fast you can go for LIN. I know people that are sub-15 just knowing the 6 LIN cases and EPLL (+parity obv). Yes there’s people that are sub-10 with...

      Idea for how Official WCA Events could work.

      Yep that’s why I tended not to agree with the other system that was proposed. This said 19-20 events would be possible with as system similar to the one I initially put out.

      Idea for how Official WCA Events could work.

      Fair enough. I’m still for the current system, I just brought this up as an idea which could be developed a sub I still find the concept interesting to think about as it solves a lot of problems people have against how things currently are.

      Idea for how Official WCA Events could work.

      1. I based it off popularity 2. It was an example 3. With feet even only being considered to be removed it wouldn’t be a smart move to include it in the permanent events. Also why the relation with 3x3 with feet? You could’ve mentioned any other event. anyway as someone that practices feet...

      Idea for how Official WCA Events could work.

      Yh i know about that. What i meant was that they'll have to invest more too attend competitions. Because only certain events will be present for certain comps and as such they'll have to attend different championships just to do different types of events which can create some problems. This also...

      Idea for how Official WCA Events could work.

      My main issues with this are the following: 1. I don't want local competitions to only have to focus on one category. It makes local competitions boring and repetitive really quickly. 2. For all-rounders and people that practice all the events this sort of system could result problematic as...

      Idea for how Official WCA Events could work.

      Idk how easy it’d be to go to 30 events in the current system. This would mean that the organizers of major comps would have to figure out how to fit 30 events in few days. There’s always a group of people that’ll be affected when a system is changed but I don’t think it’ll be as bas as you...

      Idea for how Official WCA Events could work.

      So i've had this random idea which can be pretty stupid, but i thought would be worth sharing. So with the discussions around Events being removed/added that surround the community lately i thought of a way of how events can be recognised in the WCA. This may not be too clear but i'll develop a...
