Skewb will be an Official WCA event?

[cubecraze1]

This will definitely get my skewb back out! I used to be quite good at it but I stopped practising. So, I won't be very fast at all :3

 

[ottozing]

Oh boy, another Event I can get beaten at by Feliks :tu

Seriously though, Skweb will be a nice addition to the other official events. Looking forward to hearing more about this.

There is a ridiculous amount of misconstrued, misrepresented, garbled, and in some cases, just plain wrong information in this thread (including from you, Sarah).

Tyson/I and Lucas/I had two separate discussions on (generally) adding events. Now that Worlds is over, that has become more feasible. That's all we said during the WRC meeting. Just sit tight.

Lol.. at first comp WR is going to be broken so many times.

Basically the first person to solve officially will hold the WR for something like a few seconds

 

[YddEd]

Just ordered a LanLan Skewb because
1) I don't have one and want one
2) If it will be an official event, I'll be able to compete

Does faz do skewb?
What does he avg?

 

[AvGalen]

WCA: make it so!

9i2) All the results of a round are considered to take place on the last calendar date of the round. If a regional record is broken multiple times on the same calendar date, only the best result is recognised as breaking that regional record.

Oh you know what I mean! I obviously meant it theoretically -.-

 

[Goosly]

I know what you mean, but people who are not familiar with the regulations might actually have believed that in the first ever round of skewb, the delegate should keep track of which record is set first

 

[~Adam~]

Yay. Something else that I want to compete in. Bringing my tally up to 5 events.

Better learn a good method.
Do I remember a Meep/Kir method knocking around?

Okay

Yes. I am learning it already. Want to not suck at this event.

There's already enough events... It's hectic fitting them all into 2 days as it is.
It's not something new, just something similar... just another random twisty puzzle that turns in a slightly different way - oooohhhh big deal.
It's influenced by luck quite a lot.
WR chase will be annoying.
I think that we should probably be reducing events rather than adding them.

 

[cubesonfire]

I feel great about skewb. Better learn a good method now

 

[Kattenvriendin]

Definitely add the skewb, that is a great addition indeed. It is a different puzzle altogether, yet still fast to solve. That'll be a fun sight AND sound; all those clicky skewbs hehe. :tu

So you are suggesting getting rid of feet and clock to make way for skewb?

Great idea Laurence.

I averaged 20 seconds in skewb years ago. I'll have buy new stickers and re-learn!

I have to do the same thing with mine.

Updated the thread with a poll.

 

[krnballerzzz]

It's all lies Skewb will never be an official event.

But this is Andrew he hates Skewb. He doesn't want this to happen
