Bringing Back Clock! (W2PA) [Voting Results Out]

[DuckDecoys]

I would try to make one, but this computer barely works.

I don’t see why we change WCA to WPA (World Puzzles Association) and put categories like 3D puzzles, 2D puzzles, and more… This would allow for everything to stay, but also for 2D puzzles to be added

I completely understand what your saying but I think the WCA should NOT be able to control anything.

Bias to old years, whilst still trying to modernise and be more spectator friendly.

Trying to make cubing spectator friendly, with no regards to the competitor's opinion themselves? Hell nah.
Yes, I know clocks removal was a vote, but one that a minority actually voted on (I believe there was <1000 votes, correct me if I'm wrong) but a majority wanted it reversed.
Then deciding to do a inside vote, in which most of the WCA team were from a time in which no one liked clock.

In my opinion at the very least there should be another vote, in which unless 2/3 of voters say they don't want clock, it should be removed.

Or arrives a new puzzle association that takes over, either will do for me.

I, personally, will be a hypocrite because I am still going to go to comps (one per 52 million years ) because there is no alternative. at least in the UK.

i did see that, mb
the thing is its your wish overall, and im not the best programmer here
but sure, lets see how it turns out!

After lots of procrastination, I have finally created scramblers for clock and clock BLD, and am intending to work on the other events now. Is the 1x3x3 used in competitions going to be the type that shapeshifts? I need to know whether or not to incorporate bandaging into the scrambler.

Yes (For anyone that says it’s not 3d, there was a community poll in the discord and like 86% iirc said ssing 1x3x3)

Please can someone help me with the notation for the pentagon clock? I do not know if there is an accepted notation that I should use, or the maximum amount of pins that need to be put up when scrambling. Also, what is a 4x4 clock?

Unfortunately, cubingcontests.com does not detail how pentagon clock is scrambled. I found this video though:

Has the plan for the W2PA been abandoned?

Nah, it's just that there's really not a lot to do.

 

[DuckDecoys]

Nah, it's just that there's really not a lot to do.

Is it going to be a website where you put your times down, like the speedsolving.com weekly competition,
or a physical competition you go to?

Like an online comp and not a physical comp (for now)

Is there a website yet?

I already answered that.

Is there a website yet?

World 2-Dimensional Puzzles Association (W2PA)

docs.google.com

If you call this a website, then yeah.

I hope it works! I think it is a great idea!
