Redi Cube in the WCA [Poll]

[FireCuber]

I don't think we should have the Redi cube as an event.

 

[One Wheel]

It's fun and I think it should be an event.

Skydiving is fun (or so I'm told). Let's make that a WCA event.

I must admit I'm surprised by the results of this poll. I would have guessed a result more like 50% yes, 30% neutral, 20% no. FTR I voted no not because I think WCA has enough events, but because Redi cube seems like a trivial or near-trivial puzzle, and we have enough of those. I would love to see a few new events, just nothing that could reasonably be expected to have a sub-2:00 WR anytime soon.

Just curious why you're surprised by the results? I think you're totally right with your opinion about it etc... and more than half of people agree! Were you thinking only 20% of other cubers would have shared this opinion with you? Anyway I'm happy the results are what they are. Enough events!

Yes, I thought I would be in the minority. There are a lot of young cubers who seem highly influenced by fads like Redi Cube and Kilominx, and I thought we were still solidly enough in the Redi cube fad that more people would want it as an event now.

I really think that redi-cube is only still going because of the moyu tournaments, no matter what event they chose, it would be popular.

Redi cube is pretty luck based now imo cause the uwr single is like 5. Something such as kibiminx is better that way since it is short enough that it isn't luck based and takes more skill. On the other hand adding redi cube would be fine since it would be a new event and we haven't had that since Skewb.
So I voted neutral.

I never see clock or feet being in competitions unless if it’s worlds or something

Probably because nobody in Australia is even decent at either of those events.

 

[FastCubeMaster]

Maybe that's why they don't want to get decent at those events, because they aren't held for several reasons.

(Except for Canberra for clock)

If any events were to be added, I would probably agree with Kilominx (and I personally would like FTO and Icosaix added, just to have all of the Platonic solids). But Redi Cube is too trivial, and would almost certainly wind up being another largely luck-based event.

 

[applezfall]

wowowoowo le'ts has 1x1x2 cubk in d comp(lol jk)
I think that redi cube is stupid and too luckbased I agree with the kibiminx idea but I think fisher time wheel seems cool too

 

[Sion]

If you want my two cents, I suggest maybe X-Cube as an event if you want a new puzzle, maybe relays as extra events, maybe some team-based events (maybe an official multiblind, if anyone is willing for me to elaborate.)

 

[Max Cruz]

If anything, we should add rescramble to the WCA. Thoughts?

 

[Pyjam]

Is there an online timer with Redi scrambles?

 

[teboecubes]

Uses Moyu Tournament scrambles, not RubikSkewb

 

[Hazel]

I think we should definitely add some cuboids, like 3x3x5.

 

[Tabe]

I like that idea.

And, as I mentioned in the Red Bull thread, I wouldn't mind seeing a no-inspection 3x3 event.

Patrick Ponce 100% would dominate this

 

[Pyjam]

It could be more interesting to have a 15 minutes FMC event.

Yeah, I don’t know a lot of FMC techniques, so I finish in 15 minutes anyway, and if I were to do it in a competition, I would just sit there for the rest of the time
