*cough*Why is everyone now making threads about adding stuff to WCA?
As stated in the title, I think that a tiered system of events should be incorporated to the WCA. I personally like @Kit Clement's idea(actually I think he ripped it off from someone else), with three tiers:
Tier 1 - Must be held at every major championship
Tier 2 - Can be held at major championships, but aren't required
Tier 3 - Cannot be held at a major championship
The third tier solves the problem of people saying they don't want an event added because then they have to hold it at a championship: even if you are involved in organizing one, it's impossible for tier 3 events to be held. It still allows tier 3 events to be held at local competitions, so people can enjoy a puzzle as an official event, but organizers don't need to be obligated to hold them. It also lets all the different puzzles people want added to be added, and will lessen the gap between official and unofficial events.
