Juggling 3 3x3s as potential future WCA event

https://forum.worldcubeassociation.org/t/add-3x3-juggling/33304

What do guys think? Idea taken from the WCA forums. I think it should tried unofficially at official comps first. If there are more than 2 people participating in this event at a place, it should be held otherwise it should be scrapped.

Clonk with feet bld is a better idea than this.

[Tabe]

This is a terrible idea.

 

[sDLfj]

It's cool, but I don't see more than 100 people doing it worldwide, so definitely no.

 

[An Animating Cuber]

How would you even start learning this? If this was added it would probably just be two Chinese kid's duking it out for the WR.

 

[Jorian Meeuse]

I tried it before but it is terribly hard to coordinate your throws in such a way that when you catch a cube you can easily make a turn quickly.

 

[OldSwiss]

I think that's too extreme. Sure, it's possible to learn but I think for most people this is too hard.
There are only a couple of people in the world who can do this and even they solve one cube after the other and not all 3 simultaneously

And juggling is a too different skill to cubing.

 

[Betrayal]

I doubt there will be a large willing competitor pool for this

If you keep saying things like this, how am I supposed to know when you are really getting senile?

 

[scoutmain203]

Just like what people said, there probably wouldn't be enough people.

 

[artless1der]

perhaps they can juggle them
underwater during one breath
like Kevin Hays

 

[OldSwiss]

Can anyone here juggle without solving cubes?

I can do it for 5 or sometimes 10 seconds but not really well


What about a new event with the noncuber method "Solving the cube by diasassembling and reassembling or restickering".
This would open speedcubing for a completly new target group

That could also be fun as a inofficial side event

Yea it's not that hard to learn

I think as an unofficial event that would actually be pretty funny to do in small comps. Not restickering though, you'll need a new cube every round lol

 

[Filipe Teixeira]

I think there are like 43 quintillion better candidates for official events

like fto, kilominx, 8x8, 9x9, team bld and solving cubes under water

juggling was my main hobby before cubing. my pb is 15min with normal cascade
I can do various other tricks and my pb with clubs is 30 throws but I don't practice anymore. when I move from where I live soon I plan to practice clubs daily again. because we will have a yard and on my current home I can't juggle clubs because I drop too much and it makes a lot of noise lol

If you are a good juggler, have you ever tried to juggle with cubes and turning them?

never tried but it seem really difficult to track the pieces on 3 cubes and hold them correctly to do the moves
there is too much juggling involved lol

 

[OldSwiss]

Yeah, I think so.
But all juggling cubers I've seen, even the world record holder, solve one cube after the other.
So you only have to track one cube at a time

yeah. I don't imagine myself trying tho lol
I want to try 4bld and 5bld but not that xD

This is a pretty bad idea. It’s fun for the few who can do it as a fun challenge but as far as applying broadly it’ll never work. There are dozens of new puzzles and variants I’d rather add and that would be more popular. Juggling also is a completely different skill from cubing. Should we also add blitz chess, except you need to solve a 5x5 before you can win? Sure it’s fun as a cool thing for a couple cubers that also play chess to do, but doesn’t make any sense as an event
