If you had to remove one WCA event and add one WCA event, what would you remove and add?

If you had to remove one WCA event and add one WCA event, what would you remove and add?
I would remove FMC, Clock, or 7x7/6x6 and add FTO or Master Pyramix

 

[OtaMota]

Why would one want to remove FMC, one of the most unique events in the WCA, one that spotlights a niche aspect of cubing, one of efficiency and cube theory. At the top level, the methods and theory are very rich and complex, yet for beginners, as long as you can solve a cube and understand notation, it is definitely an accessible event. The wca would be at loss without FMC

Hm ok I guess I never really thought about fmc that way

Remove: None. Removing an event from the WCA has no benefit, and is a waste of time to those who have spent a lot of time learning and practicing that event.
Add: Kilominx or FTO

I agree with you there but just if you had too

Why clock. Just why. The innovation and the thought process that has been put into this event over the past 5-ish years is insane compared to other events. Also it’s many people’s main events, and for some people (including myself) it may actually be their favorite event.

 

[Bingus cuber]

Definitely add FTO. It is by far the best candidate, there is so much hype around it rn.

Remove either 5bld or 7x7. Those skills are pretty easily transferable to other events, and it would help comps go a lot faster. Cubing careers aren't wasted.

I understand why clock is important but this is IF you had to I would never remove clock

I would remove 5BLD. Honestly, who mains the 5BLD event??

I would remove 5BLD. Honestly, who mains the 5BLD event??

prob Stanley Chapel

 

[notjamestack]

Remove: I wouldn't remove any, but if I had to, I would say 5bld.
Add: FTO or 2x2x3.

If I had to remove an event? Probably 5x5 Blindfolded. There is already 4blind, plus not many people do it. (I am not saying it should be removed, though I would rather it be removed than anything else be removed.)

As for events to add, I guess FTO? I am 99% sure it will already be added this year considering the hype around it. I think something like Gigaminx or Master Pyraminx could also be a reasonable pick, but I think FTO is the best choice for events to add.

I’m good at it and I like the event

I wouldn’t remove 5BLD just because it’s the hardest event (I can’t even do 3BLD )

Most people can't even solve giga under 10 min for a stackmat there's no way it would be "reasonable" as an event lol

The correct answer was remove 4x4 and add mirror cube. Sorry guys you all got it wrong.

 

[bldcuber314]

Remove either 5bld

Here to plead 5BLD's case-

5BLD is much more different to 4BLD than 7x7 is different to 6x6 and it shouldn't be removed. At a beginner level, they are pretty much the exact same and you just have to spend slightly longer doing 5BLD(if you know 4BLD then you probably have enough BLD experience that the extra memo in 5BLD isn't an issue). However, at a higher level 5BLD becomes much more interesting as you want to balance being fast with actually getting a success, as there are so many places you could make a mistake. In addition, 4BLD is easier to get very fast results in as in a high level you can just one-pass, it's not that much more memo. However, 5BLD is much more memo and it is extremely difficult to one-pass and get a very fast time. Just completing the event, 5BLD is almost exactly the same as 4BLD, but it is much harder to get fast results.

@NebraskanSpeedsolver is there something like this for why 6x6/7x7 should stay? Otherwise they disappear in 24 hours

I dislike the idea of adding mirror cube as it is just a 3x3 with a slightly different solved state, and is solved with the same methods as a 3x3.

What would be more interesting is no inspection mirror cube blindfolded

What NxN would you remove?
What BLD Event would you remove?
What Side Event would you remove?
What event that can be solved into a 3x3 state would you remove?

 

[Isaiah Scott]

If I had to remove something, skewb would be my first choice easily. I would add Mini Guildford
Now for the questions @Puzzle Maniac asked:
1. 2x2
2. Multi BLD
3. Skewb (duh)
4. OH
