3x3x3 Blind, changing to 3/5?

Can we have maximum 1 DNF allowed in 3 attempts and calculate average by discarding the worst solve?
I dont know if I am being naive.

That is what the proposed average 2/3 means.

I really really don't like the idea of uneven trimming.

I really really don't like the idea of uneven trimming.

And then what do you consider "best of three" is? Is that not uneven? You remove only the worst two?
Or do I misunderstand you?

I would like as at the Olympics at pole vault:
It starts at 3 minutes, and all the competitors have 3 attempts, who make a time under 3 minutes goes to 2nd round.
2nd round time limit is 1:30, if there are 2 competitors or more under 90 seconds there'll be a 3rd round.
The time limit in the 3rd round would be 1 minutes.
In this mode, it will be possible to do more solve and more "rounds" with not much competitors, and not much time will be lose because for do 3 solves under 1:30 minutes it needs only 5 minutes

I think there's a rule against having a lot of rounds with a small number of competitors.

That's a single solve metric so it is supposed to be the best solve you have no matter what. But the 2 of 3 average is an average metric, and average metrics should not be trimmed unevenly, because then they aren't a good measure of your typical time.

I don't like this idea. 3BLD is not like pole vaulting - there is a lot of luck involved not only with the solve but with the distractions and mental readiness when each solve is attempted. The same person will occasionally get solves under 1:00 and occasionally get solves over 1:30. In pole vaulting the results are a lot more consistent; anyone who can easily make a jump will make it pretty much every time. So this format will include a lot of luck as even the best people in a competition may not be sure of passing the second round.
