As we all know, Mike Hughey wants to add two events for the 2020 season. However, looking upon the four candidates, I realized that the four candidates are all significantly different from each-other.
15 puzzle would bring a non-twisty but competitive puzzle into the mix. It's also a very friendly event to get involved with for newer cubers. I would argue it's the new clock, in the sense it's a flat puzzle, if that makes sense.
Curvy Copter would bring an exceptionally challenging but new experience into the mix, and would allow the community to experience the evolution of a puzzle and its solutions that we haven't had since the 1980s it seems.
Speed FMC is fascinating, since in a way, it's like speedcubing, but with a pen and trying to be efficient, racing against the clock as you try to make an efficient solution.
Mirror blocks are an unusual take on the most popular event of all: 3x3. While it is the least unique, for many newcomers, it could be a challenge worth getting into.
In this regard, I find it hard to really say that only adding two would give these candidates justice, though I do feel a choice should be made.
In this sense, I'm posting a poll to see if the community would want to see more than two events added. Please vote with what answer you feel justifies your opinions best. As of writing this thread, Speed FMC is overwhelmingly first and 15 Puzzle is a very firm second, Curvy Copter is at third with just one more vote than Mirror Blocks, which is in fourth.
