Events to remove

I don't think any events are actually going to be removed, and there's no real reason to have people vote on it. Every event currently in the WCA has many reasons to remain there, including the fact that many people have already practiced it and recorded official times on it.

This.

There isn't rally a need to get rid of events, because the delegates and organizers of a competition choose which events to host, and if they choose not to host feet, magic, etc. then that is their choice.

This isn't an option for competitions where every event has to be held, so this causes problems for introducing new events, as there is not enough time for them.

I realize we have a tradition for it, especially at world championships, but there is nothing in the regulations that requires that every event be held in any competition. So I disagree with you - there's no such thing as "a competition where every event has to be held". I see no reason why we couldn't have a world championship and leave out events.
 
We can, but won't. Your point is invalid.

I didn't mention regulations, Tyson used the fact that he makes sure Nats holds every event against changing BLD to best of 5.
 
why get rid of events anyway? think of it this way, its kid of like saying "don't make 3x3x3's anymore because everyone has one" ok maybe not but you get what i mean... every event was made official for a reason and besides if you don't want an event at a competition your competing in, just don't compete in it simple therefore you have nothing to do with it unless you have to scramble and even then its not that big of a deal. as for the feet/magic/mmagic. As for the discussion of magic and mmagic, they take up hardly any time any way. As for feet, I' sure every one has tried it(some probably wont admit it) but you have to say it is funny to watch:P
 
OK, So I've never actually been to an event (There has never been one in my city... ever) So I can't speak outta experience but personally. However, I don't really think any event should be removed. From what I can see, all of the require skill and practice.
 
As many have said, it's ultimately the organizer's decision to have certain events at a competition.
In regard to the Berkeley Octodecathlon, Vince said he'd run every event except feet. It's a prime example.

So like, just because a good handful of people don't particularly like certain events (ahem, magics and feet) doesn't mean they shouldn't be cut. Just as with any puzzle, there are people who strive to get better, who've put in the days upon days of practice and who have official times in the database. Is it right and fair to deny them of their time and of their willingness?

Just my two cents.
 
I believe all events should stay. Sure I don't see myself doing big cubes blind in the near future, and I know they are not popular, but what if I want to try it out sometime and would like to compete?

I 100% agree, also, these events don't take up that much time considering that only like 1 or two people ever do them. You can do other events while that 1 person id doing 4x4 blind or feet.

I actually like feet too. It's just really smelly, and giving the scrambler gloves and hand sanitizer doesn't take away the psychological factor.
 
I would like feet to stay but there are a lot of people that would disagree, for some crazy reason. I think that 4x4 and 5x5 BLD should definitely stay, those people who have the skills to do that should definately be able to compete in it. And more and more people are getting into big cube BLD, I would hate to see it go. And magic is dumb, but kinda cool at the sam time, I really don't have an opinion on whether it should say or not.

Mostly I agree with you, but feet is just gross I'm my opinion. You have to like, feel up your cube with your feet, then use it again after.
