Remove Rubik's Cube as an Official Event

[TimMc]

Why should we continue to discuss the removal of events under the current setup of no guidelines from the WCA for their inclusion/removal?

I don't see the point. They can talk about cereal instead.

It's definitely worth discussing guidelines for adding and removing events. But perhaps we should focus on the future direction of the WCA more broadly first.

I suggest removing everything but pyra

I completely understand the reasoning behind it and why people would want to do it, but just think about it: More people would go mad if 3 x 3 was removed instead of foot cubing, because of the sheer numbers. I just think that they should come to a compromise and shorten some events, like making 4 x 4 - 7 x 7 Average of 3. The con, would be that if you screw up once, and its bad enough you're done at the competition.

It's a joke thread. No one here is seriously considering removing 3x3.

Then other people would practise Pyraminx more than we do, so all records would be lowered.
