Erik proposed some interesting ideas about how to handle this event. Just read the thread about it. It's not that hard to properly organize and run.

Btw, it's really different from other events and new. Please tell me how silly it is.

Personally, I don't find the idea of calling out the moves to a solve to be that great of an idea. Soon it will become overrun by teams who have 100 code words, and they'll have averages under 20.
I just think that there are other events that would fit better in the WCA than team bld. I guess that's just my opinion though.
 
There probably won't be any new events.

Relays: no.
Skewb: not very popular.
Team BLD: explain how ranking should work, also easy to cheat in it.
Cuboids: too many to choose from.
8x8: takes most people (I'd guess) over 10 minutes, just another 7x7 really.
Dino cube: even less popular than skewb.
 
For Skewb : IMO, puzzles gets more popular if they are official
For team bld : What do you mean by "easy to cheat in it" ? Looking under the blindfold or something else ?
And for the rankings, I don't see why we should separate the person who is telling what to do and the person who is cubing (because I know some people suggested it). The point of this event is the 2 people have to understand each other so the roles are equal IMO. Then the rankings is easy to do.
 
I think we should add OH for all events, including FMC and big cube BLD. Skewb would be really cool too though and I agree with lachose that if the event became official, it would become more popular.

Am I understanding you correctly that you think we should have one-handed FMC as an event??
 
Speed blind anyone?

It's very different from conventional blind and uses quite unique tracing techniques. Although I have yet to try it myself, I feel it has potential to be popular.
 
I don't think removal of magics implies addition of new event but there always have been discussions about new events and since this thread was revived why not talking about some potential ones.

Looking under the brindfold.
