Yeah, FTO has had a bit of a cult craze since the beginning of the COVID pandemic. Ben Streeter made a method that dropped times on the puzzle that are more than twice as fast as the old records, and I've been practicing it a lot since WCA events don't matter to me as much when there aren't WCA comps.

It looks like the only event that qualified for vote this year was FTO. I will set up the poll thread for it later today, to see if it gets enough votes to be added. I think it is a good result - the most appropriate result we could have had this year, under the circumstances. Thank you everyone for your suggestions/nominations!
If your favorite event didn't get chosen this year, start working on popularizing it over the next year - perhaps it can develop the groundswell of support that FTO had this year!
I think adding 2Gen or LSE might be fun. I wouldn't be upset if it wasn't, but honestly I am content with keeping the current event list (plus FTO obviously). I am all for new opportunities to get more points with new fun events though (not cuboids though).
Edit: Also 4x4 OH would be cool
Looks like I missed this, oh well. I'd really love Master Kilominx, and would be interested in seeing 8x8 and potentially 9x9 added to the mix, in mean of 3 formats. Not really in favor of 3x3 subsets because we already have 8 events that involve 3x3, not even counting Mirror Blocks or the relays. I also think 3x3x4 or some other popular cuboid would be an interesting addition. And now maybe I'll have a reason to resticker/get a new FTO lol
