New Event ideas (Poll)

[MaeLSTRoM]

I clicked skewb and relays but it only counted my skewb, can someone change it please

 

[CubicNL]

I also think relays would be cool to have.

Hi, a few years ago I saw on the TV (before I can solve the cube) people solving the 3x3 with chopsticks. ¿Why isn't this a official event? I think it's fun

 

[riffz]

perfect example of what? You losing to someone faster?

No, he was demonstrating that a relay really isn't a good representation of someone's all around skill, because the impact that big cubes would have on your times is significantly higher than that of the smaller puzzles.

 

[scylla]

team relay!

 

[Zane_C]

I'm satisfied with the current events, I did not vote.

Exactly. You could have WR speeds on 2x2, 3x3, 4x4, and 5x5. But if you're just average on 7x7 and 6x6, then someone who's slightly better than average on those two events would win. Makes no sense. Also, long running events are difficult. I have a hard enough time having to cut people who sign up for 4x4 with times of 6 minutes.

Skewb, and I don't even like skewb

You obviously have no common sense.

This.

Team BLD would be pretty awesome.

Did anyone ever figure out a way around the paper-blocking-the-caller issue?
Because I LOVE teamBLD

 

[Cubenovice]

I think that big cube BLD should definitely become official events.
They are prime examples of cube skills and mental ability.

I know:
- It is time consuming
- Only a few people can pull it off
- Judges will be hard to find

But:
- The people who can pull this off deserve an official ranking!
- As an organizer you are not obliged to host all events: don’t like it? Don’t do it!
- You can run it in parallel with other events ( Big BLD cubers can afford to miss a few other events)
- Judges can roulate
- The “holding paper between cuber and cube “ is easy replaced by some short of shield so judging is less “physically demanding”

 

[buelercuber]

They should have BLD for every cube that is currently in official competition. like 2x2, 6x6 and 7x7, sq1, and clock.

 

[Macht Spiel]

Relays are interesting

 

[Gaétan Guimond]

A new event 2x2 fewest move average. I offer a lesson of the smallest cube. The heart of game cube

 

[Shortey]

I agree with guimond.

 

[uberCuber]

ya 2x2 FMC average or nothing

 

[Daniel Wu]

Relays would essentially be won by people who are good at big cubes. 2x2 would be less than 2 percent of a 7x7 solve (given 4 seconds for 2x2 and 4 minutes for 7x7. I don't really see the point.

 

[Erzz]

What if we did some multiplication/division of times to even it out?

Edit: For relay.
I voted for skewb, would have voted helicube too but I didn't see it. Different puzzles are good.

Edit2: Yeah that doesn't make sense, nevermind.

relays sound silly

skewb please

I know who won't like to have skewb. I never have tryed one
