More official events?

[StachuK1992]

I actually think it would be kind of cool to have a team solve event. (with eyes open.) Like doubles cubing. One person would hold the cube in their left hand, and the other person would hold the cube with their right hand. I don't see a problem if one person is doing more work than the other because he/she would only be using one hand.

rankings would be awkward.

OH SQUARE 1!
OH SQUARE-1!

zomg doubles cubing is fun I'd actually like to see that become an official event.

How would you record data and say who had what times for doubles?

+1 Relays
most cubes in an hour is for guiness which I am going to attempt to break next year

BLD square-1 would be nice.
If it were an official event, i would go learn how to do it.
Also OH square 1 is fun.

The problem with sq-1 BLD is that it is highly dependent on the cubeshape case. Also, very few people can do it, and nobody is consistently successful with it.

I have done 1 SQ-1 BLD
never again
I even forgot some of the BLD algorithms
I might generate them again and post a video on how to do it

You don't need BLD algs for sq1 BLD. Just J-perm and adj-parity.


This topic gets brought up every year. Essentially the same events are brought up every year.

Team events will not become official because the record keeping is too complicated.
2x2 variations will not be added, because that would be stupid.
Relays/marathons will not be added because those puzzles already have events.
Gigaminx will probably not added because it would suck to scramble and megaminx is unpopular enough/takes long enough already.

Skewb has a reasonable amount of support and would be easy/quick enough to hold.
