Juggling 3 3x3s as potential future WCA event

[Deleted member 36445]

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

I get your point but remember that bld has memory techniques, which has nothing to do with cubing

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.

Oh… I was wondering why I saw this posted by two people.

I feel this should stay as an unofficial thing, as this would be hard to organize, hard to make regs for, and would have such a small competitor pool that it wouldn’t ever be done.

I am really good at juggling (very comfortable with 5 balls tricks, could perform 5 clubs 15 or so years ago, I can juggle 3 balls blind for some time).

I can not perform a sune algorithm on the cube while juggling. My personal best is U U U U back to solved state.
I think I could learn it if I get better in OH, but this thing is ridiculously difficult.

Bad event

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

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

I mostly agree, but clearly not with cubes under water. That might be a good idea for a tv show (as the juggling one, BTW), but its potentially dangerous to have in a comp. Don't even think about it

Nice joke about 43 quintillion.

How is it dangerous to have it in a comp? I do not understand.

Let's say that besides asking that participants do not enter an event in which DNF is expected WCA would have to make a rule that DND (do not drown) is mandatory

First person from UK to do it!

cool

if this is being bumped ig heres my thoughts

almost as terrible as allowing @Thomas.Caleb to even have a chance of doing ss champs this year , no offense to him, but he did keep trying to take over (we replaced him with cubelite)

How tf is this even related to this topic bro

 

[Thomas.Caleb]

everyone was saying the event was terrible, so i simply compared it.
if you want ill delete it tho.

Nah I couldn't care any less

honestly that was a bit overkill @That0newe1rdo

Thomas knows already what he did, I just didn’t trust him enough to help organize again.

Please do not go off topic.

On the other hand, this would to great unofficially, with things like 12 blind and 3x3 feet and magic events.
