(New) What cubes should be added to the WCA events list?

[Underwatercuber]

@Kit Clement is there currently any discussion amongst WCA members like yourself in removing Clock as an official event? Assuming you can disclose that information to the public..

Reasons to remove or keep clock as an event · Issue #848 · thewca/wca-regulations

Here is a list of pros and cons for the what happens if clock is removed. Note: These are merely pros and cons that would come out of its removal. They are not the same thing as "reasons to re...

New event idea:

Pyraminx but you put a screw in it and you have to keep the screw inside the pyra and solve it

I want a BLD event where a mirror cube and 3x3 are scrambled identically, memo is done on the mirror cube, and solve is done on 3x3.

 

[PapaSmurf]

I don't. That's a bad idea for an event.

I tend agree, but it would be interesting

A mirror cube would be confusing, but I think two different cubes, one with standard colors and the other with both colors and a different dot/shape pattern on each side would be very reasonable.

Two things:
1. Good luck on finding a notation system for the curvy copter.
2. How would you decide partners for Team Blind?

Other than that, I think that kibiminx has great potential for a new WCA event.

1. Good luck on finding a notation system for the curvy copter.

Not only has this been done, but a random-state jumbling scrambler has in fact already been written for it using that notation.

SALOW Notation for Curvy Copter.

If we agree to disagree, would you be fine with making two scramblers with the two different notations and let others decide? Yeah I'll post scrambles tomorrow in both formats and see what y'all like.

It might not be particularly good to read, and might prove to be impractical for competitions, but at least it exists. And in my opinion it is at least much better than the original megaminx notation, so hey, we're off to a good start.

What about an event that you need to scramble your cube to be exatcly another that are scrambled?

Thing is, that's just solving it but into a different state. Once people get used to it, it would just be 3x3 with slightly less inspection time.

This is called match the scramble and it is dominated by reverse blind solving. I think they had it at the Red Bull cubing championships and it's also an event in the weekly competition.
