Why random clock round?

Why random clock round?

"Random"?

 

[Loiloiloi]

"Random"?

It's a generally unpopular event, and it seems out of place. There's no other uncommon events like skewb or squan.

We'll both the organizer and myself can agree that clock is the best event!

 

[YouCubing]

wheeee with this much notice, I should be able to make it. I'll hopefully have a Kilo by then.

 

[Mastermind2368]

Awesome! I will do all of the events !

Goooooooooals:
3x3: Hopefully I'll have one by then (if not borrow a MAGNET cube)
2x2: PB single
4x4 (if it happens): Borrow Jacob's again
OH: Only use one hand
Pyra: Sub-4.5 average, don't mess up lolscrambles
Clock: Borrow Jacob's again
6x6: Sub-2:30 single, Sub-2:35 mean

Pyra, 6x6, Kilo...?
6x6 is pretty unpopular as far as nxnxn cubes go, and pyra and kilo are also kinda random.
I'm not sure why you singled out clock.
Organizers (I assume) choose events that they like/support.

Why do you say pyra is random? But yes, organizers preference plays a large role in what events are held.

Why do you say pyra is random?

hmmm
In my mind, pyra and skewb are both random events.
But, after looking at the WCA, I guess pyra isn't random.

Pyra is probably the 3rd most popular event.

And skewb is good...

[ducttapecuber]

Hype.

Goals: Don't fail and relax.
Fun fact: This is the first comp I have gone to that I haven't organized

Goal:

Threaten Carson to hold 4x4 -> Get FWR -> Profit. Force may be used (I'm looking at your clock Carson. May not be in one piece by the end of this).
