24 puzzle
35 puzzle
48 puzzle
Clock
4x4 clock
5x5 clock
1x2x3
1x3x3

[Idkcuber]

Also if this ever happens please make it so if a clock is 1 tick away please make it a +2 not a DNF

 

[Martyt7777]

What do we do after all the events are chosen?

 

[Idkcuber]

Ok question,
Would sliding puzzles be allowed to have these coloured stickers?

I would allow it, but ig it’s up to acrystal

 

[L-Y-L]

4x4 Clock
5x5 Clock

I think triangular clock and pentagonal clock are better than these. I don’t think there are big clocks in the market

 

[L-Y-L]

Clock
4x4 Clock
5x5 Clock
8 Puzzle
15 Puzzle
1x3x3
1x2x2

1x2x2 is too easy to be an official event

Ofc!

Those will be the official events for W2PA!

Basically the same rules for stickers on rubiks cube
But I would say that the puzzle in the image doesn't count as all pieces must have a sticker, or be stickerless.

Ok guys how do we start an organization because I have no idea
I think if this is good by worlds 2027 then it might make the WCA reconsider removing events in the future because we can’t get clock back now
Also idk if it’s feasible to get it running by July 2027 so don’t ask if this is unviable

IDK either, so we need help from delegates and ex-delegates that support our idea.

But like after we have the event list. Do we start working on the regulations?; make a website?

True, but i dont think theres a lot of ppl who like the idea, NxN for the win

1x2x2 is too easy to be an official event

Say that to the 2x2 community. But yeah, youre right.

You sound like you have good ideas, I would recommend making a list of 2D puzzles on what you want to add.

Tbf I like the idea, and in terms of hardware, triangle and pentagon clock have QiYi and SengSo, whereas NxN just have crappy Cube4You clocks

Well, a Website would be useful.
A name, designs etc for branding.
Cash. Just enough to fund a few competitions until a profit develops. (I assume this a non-profit organisation, so profit goes straight into other comps).
Regulations.
Equipment.

I personally don't like W2PA, as (assuming 3x3 and such is there) 3D puzzles would be present, so it could be argued they shouldn't or smth.
Cubing For All, CFA, is a better idea, it may sound cringe or smth, but it does sort of highlight how the community goes first.

I think this is a good idea, but at the moment, it just seems like a protest about clock's removal that's been padded out with loads of variations of the 15 puzzle - I think we could do with finding some other events to add

What about snake, for instance? To prevent it from being like magic, you should probably come up with scrambles, and then you have to get it into a ball.

Snake is one of those things where it’s still kinda the same I own I snake and I do that but its still not really fun

What about magic though? Because I was showing my new cuber friend a magic a while ago and I told him that it was kinda useless because your not supposed to scramble it and he said
“What if you scramble it then its a puzzle”
And hearing that there might be a W2PA soonish is making me remember this conversation I had and I feel that if we just scramble it then it could be added along with master magic and the rest

Yeah all we really have is
15 puzzle and variations
Clock and variations
1xNxN
Blind

I feel that maybe magic could fit the bill but I’ll let you guys decide.
The WCA has 8 core things (minus FMC) because NxNs are just 3x3 but bigger and we have 4-5 so I feel that all we need is 2-3 more then we’re set

What about Rubiks race?

 

[Idkcuber]

What about Rubiks race?

But that’s 2 people and as someone who has no one who goes to comps with me I don’t like 2 people events
I support cubers with no friends
