Is there no chance of revival of "Age vs. Speed" in WCA?
I heard from many competitors that the stat was quite nice to see,
for continuous motivation of speedcubing, especially for old ages.
I also strongly agree with the opinion.
Even if I'm not listed in the stat, the time with my age makes a
great target, and creates an emotional bridge for speedcubing.
(I like the list of oldest solvers, too)
If the stat will be not available forever, I'm worried that
not a few people will quit speedcubing too early, because
they feel just uninteresting and loose the motivation
for recording the time just becomes worse.
Sadly, I already heard voices saying such a thing several times.
In view of other sports, the scores by age groups or like the stat
seem to work well for encouraging continuous motivation.
I understand that the stat was deleted in accordance with the
WCA regulation 2d). However, I have never heard complaint
from the competitors in the list, and just heard that they are
proud of it. I heard from other competitors that they hope
they will get listed.
Therefore, I'd like to suggest an additional rule for Age vs. Speed
or such a stat. Like this:
2d+++) ADDITION
Competitors must agree that WCA may use their date of birth
for maintaining statistics.
