You just offended a clock main. You see, the clock event holds a special place in the World Cube Association (WCA) competitions for several reasons. First and foremost, it adds a unique dimension to the variety of puzzles, testing a different set of skills compared to other WCA events. Unlike the standard Rubik's Cube and its various derivatives, the clock puzzle requires a distinct blend of dexterity, strategy, and spatial awareness. Removing it would diminish the diversity of challenges that competitors face, potentially alienating a dedicated segment of cubers who have honed their expertise in this niche. Additionally, the clock puzzle stands out due to its mechanical and tactile nature, which is distinctly different from the more algorithmic approach taken by other puzzles. This diversity not only broadens the appeal of WCA competitions but also encourages a wider range of problem-solving techniques and cognitive skills.

The clock event also contributes to the rich history and tradition of cubing competitions. Since its inclusion, it has inspired countless cubers to push the boundaries of their abilities, achieving new personal bests and even setting world records. This sense of accomplishment and progression is a fundamental aspect of the cubing community, and the clock event plays a significant role in fostering this environment. Moreover, the presence of the clock event adds to the nostalgia and continuity that many long-time competitors and enthusiasts cherish. It serves as a reminder of the diverse and inclusive spirit of cubing, where different puzzles and skills are celebrated and appreciated.

Furthermore, the clock puzzle promotes inclusivity by appealing to a different set of interests and strengths among cubers. Some may find their passion in the unique mechanics of the clock, which can be a gateway to deeper involvement in the cubing community. This inclusivity is essential for maintaining a vibrant and dynamic competition scene, where participants feel valued and motivated regardless of their chosen specialty. Removing the clock event could potentially discourage these enthusiasts and create a less welcoming environment.

Finally, the clock event's presence in WCA competitions ensures that the sport remains challenging and engaging for all participants. Some people have been practicing clock for ages just for it to be removed. Each event in the WCA lineup brings its own set of challenges, and the clock is no exception. It pushes competitors to develop a comprehensive skill set, enhancing their overall cubing proficiency. By keeping the clock in the WCA, we honor the diversity and inclusivity that make cubing competitions exciting and engaging for all participants.

In simple words: Clock should not be removed from the WCA.

Pretty sure this is AI-generated. Please don't post that stuff here, this is a forum meant for humans.
I do agree though, there's no good reason for clock to go. People like it and it doesn't cause any harm.

If dancing gets removed I might quite literally quit playing chess.

Yeah. Totally makes sense.

I think because the name is CUB[e]ing, we should also remove every other event that isn't a cube. Perhaps none invented after 1982 either, as to ensure traditionality within the sport.

Come to think of it, why was clock added to one of the WCA´s events? Is it because it was another puzzle in the rubiks brand like the magic?

because Rubik's influenced old competitions so they and clock was a Rubik's product. the magic is even less of a twisty puzzle.
