If you could add ANY WCA event

If you could add ANY WCA event, what would it be?

Personally, I think it would be cool to have mirror blocks as an event, because the only other shape-shifting event is square-one, and not many people compete in that.

Not many people do Mirror Blocks competitively either.

I would add 2BLD, don't tell me you don't agree Ollie.

 

[Animorpher13]

ooh, 2BLD would be cool. But then you'd need to know full COLL (or is it CLL?) to do really well

 

[Hssandwich]

2MBLD, it would be fun to see how rediculously far Maskow could go

2BLD UWR holders know CLL, EG-1, usually EG-2, and sometimes more. 2x2 can be one looked and is pretty different from any other BLD event (except maybe Pyra BLD).

Ohcool another one of these threads.

Technically you could one look with cll, eg1 eg2 tcll all of those things. Or just use old pochmann, commutators or any 3 cycle. Endless possibilities. Exactly why I want it.

But obviously one looking would dominate.

 

[APcuber]

I think they should add gear shift

 

[Berd]

Maybe an event where you can solve more than 1 cube blindfolded, like 2 or even 3!

 

[OrigamiCuber1]

Not necessarily, I'm just taking this from UK but more people know blind methods than the amount that one look 2x2. There are obviously a few one lookers but they no where near dominate

I think one or two relay events (ie maybe a truncated relay like 3x3-5x5, and a full relay from 2x2-7x7) would be interesting. The biggest issue would be the 15 second inspection time rule... might be more practical to extend it to 30 seconds. If it could be successfully implemented, though, it would be a lot of fun.

The reason that 2BLD would be stupid other than that you can easily one loom it is that j
now fast people can pull their blindfold down would determine their speed and also would be like a quarter of their solve time.

I don't want to add any WCA event, because they already are WCA events.

Or did you mean to ask what non-WCA event I would like to see added as an official WCA event?

I agree. 2BLD wouldn't really add anything, except a competition of how fast one can put on a blindfold. In my opinion, there are already enough events; there is no need to add any more.

 

[Wylie28]

i think there needs to be a cuboid event, 2x2x3 would be my choice its easy to be sub 10 on it if you can one-look corner permutation

But the one lookers would dominate the fastest times. You can't physically be as fast with a BLD method on 2x2 as a one look sighted method.
