Skewb will be an Official WCA event?

[DrKorbin]

Partly I agree with Dene. If there is some adding events procedure that doesn't involve WRC moderation then at some moment there can appear a large bunch of new events that cannot be handled in a competition all together (and they should be, at least at WC/EC/nationals).

I find it hard to believe that the WCA board will suddenly accidently add loads of new events.

I said "doesn't involve WRC moderation" (or WCA Board moderation, if you like). If you require Board moderation then you get just what we already have right now.

why would they make a procedure that doesn't involve moderation >_>

Umm, of course the WRC will have the final say on adding any event, since adding an event counts as a regulation change (9b)
And I would imagine it would add a maximum of 1 event a year up to the point where it's decided that adding more would be too many.

Then we already have such a procedure for adding events: an event is added if WCA Board think it is fine to add this event -_-
What another "procedure" did you wanted?

I don't?
I was responding to what you said about a procedure not needing moderation. I think it's fairly obvious that no matter what happens, the WRC and the WCA board will have the final say in adding events, so I'm not sure what point you are trying to make.

Thanks DrKorbin; I think the others all missed the part I originally quoted:

I think adding a procedure for adding events would be a very good thing. I would like to leave the bias out of it. An event should become an event if it is widely wanted, and feasible to hold within the WCA regulations.

I agree with Dene's idea very strongly, but it begs the question: what makes an event worthy of being official? And what are the legitimate reasons not to sanction skewb exclusively?
