New Event ideas (Poll)

[professoralpha7]

2x2 OH definitely

 

[MagicYio]

Mirror BLD. (and skewb)

 

[Godmil]

What do most of these bring that is new or different?
I'd love mirror cubes to be official, but I understand that they're not different enough. So the only one I could vote for is Skewb even though I haven't tried one before, just cause it seems reasonable.

Helicopter cube!

New Event Ideas

I couldn't find a thread for this, so here I am.

I thought of a couple of event ideas, please tell me what you think, criticism is fine.

2x2 - One-handed (I don't see a problem here.)
2x2 - Blindfolded (I don't see a problem here.)
3x3 - Matching a Scramble - (This will probably be the most controversial, mostly because it is not even solving a puzzle. I would like it though because it involves a lot harder thinking, in finding pieces, etc.)

Thanks, I might be able to think of more. But I guess people can post ideas here too.

I would prefer a new puzzle to a new event. I'd love CTO (Corner Turning Octahedron). It's like Megaminx = bigger 3x3, CTO = bigger Pyraminx.

2x2 OH and BLD usually bring up the same arguments about it involving too much luck.
I couldn't see "Match the Scramble" ever becoming an official event. Anyway, it's essentially just a variation of 3x3 speed except the "solved" state changes.

TeamBLD is what's up. In my opinion it would be cool because it would add a whole new aspect to official events that we don't currently have - teams.
Rules and Regs would have to be worked out and this could take some time to implement properly, but it would be pretty badass.

 

[MaeLSTRoM]

There are a few I would like.
2x2BLD (I agree with this)
Mirror Blocks BLD (No inspection/memo, all done on shape)
Skewb (Its awesome!)

The only problm is that the WCA needs to think about adding in, skewb was suggested a while ago and they said maybe but still, nothing. Don't get your hopes up basically

Are you and Eric going to WC? Be cool to race
I would love team BLD to be official, and it wouldn't actually be too much effort to add to the regs. People overthink it. We'd need a substitute to a blindfold though.

7x7 Feet Just Kidding.
I want 3x3x2.

 

[Cool Frog]

5x5 BLD with feet in the air underwater one handed while eating a bad sandwich.

Personal favorite unofficial event.

I'm a big maybe atm and Eric can't, but we could race online if you like.

lmao, WR whore.
but +1 to Team BLD being official.

We only do team BLD probably 5-6 times a fortnight. We're not quite your speed either, but it would still be relatively fun. (We average 33~). And if you're talking about Skype team BLD, I don't find the concept of both having a cube and reading out their solution to the other person. I prefer the original format.

This. Absolutely this, except 11x11.
On a more serious note, I think speed blind should be an official event, even though I've never done it.
Skewb and Mirror (feel solve?) would also be pretty neat.

Just a question, since speed blind has no time limit, what if competitors sit there and memo for a few hours?

 

[sofeeuhh]

Definitely Skewb and 2x2 BLD!

i completely agree tim

IF ANYBODY WHO CAN WORK TO SEE THIS THROUGH IS WATCHING WE NEED 3 3X3S IN A ROW AS AN OFFICIAL EVENT

As I've said back in the one I created 4x4 oh and relays
