(sorry if this upsets you)

i voted for FTO, 3BLD Relay and Mirror Blocks - all of these seem like super interesting events that should be introduced in WCA comps since most people do practice these 3 and hold these 3 events with the same prestige as any of the official events.

I personally want FTO, pyraminx, mirror cube

pyraminx is an event?

I want FTO. Clock may go away (although I would like to keep it, if I have to chose, I would chose FTO).

This is how I feel. I think Clock is awesome, and I certainly do not think it should go away, but I think FTO has more potential long-term.

True, if it was 2020-2024, then Clock wouldve been gone, but ig it made a comeback

tbh with new clock hardware, i can see more people getting interested and the event itself maintaining its popularity (i say maintain, not increase for obvious reasons). FTO on the other hand is wayyy more enjoyable for the majority of people getting into shape mods (based on the general sentiment i've seen amongst the populous), which probably warrants a rise in interest + demand. glad to see it might finally be added to the WCA's list of official events (like c'mon - i'll take a 95% chance as a given anyday)

5x5 one handed sounds like an overkill.

My pb single is 3:46 and was set LAST YEAR
But I see why you would say that.
But I did 9x9 one handed and am for that also
It is not an overkill once you do very huge one hand!

Do you have the Nation's best unofficial result for bigcube OH solves?

whats 3bld relay??

 

[cubenerd74]

I honestly don't like Team BLD as an official event.

The main reason for this is software and organization concerns. Considering the software for head to head rounds hasn't been implemented for several months now, I think adding a team event, which is a much bigger change than H2H, would be a nightmare for software and organization.

Also, as a smaller concern, I feel like having to speak out loud during the solve could be distracting to other solvers.

Yeah I agree. Also, if a world record is broken, who would have it? The speaker or the solver?

And I don’t think the event itself would be that interesting/unique. It’s just 3BLD but memorisation and execution done by 2 different people.

That is not the way it is typically done at all. It is usually solved with normal sighted 3x3x3 methods. That being said, it is possible the WR holders would solve it that way. Full memorization in inspection, then just call out the memo while the other person executes. For a Charlie Eggins / Tommy Cherry team, they can probably beat 7 seconds.

In cubing Contests, the UWR belongs to both the speaker and solver

No, I do not. I do have a video of my PBS but showing them here is not appropriate in my opinion.
I can show them in the dm we have!

I personally voted for FTO (would bring the most the the WCA as of rn and easiest to implement [it's already hosted unofficially at a lot of competitions]), Master Pyraminx (I'm biased I find it really fun, but again there is something unique about it), and Kilominx (a more accessible Megaminx without being trivial). I would like Mini Guildford and Teamblind, but I see how they'd be hard to host at competitions lol

 

[Cubing Maniac]

do I say yes for the "have you ever medalled in a competition" bc like I got 2nd in teambld once

in my opinion teamblind is a must have. fto will surely get in, teambld is just genuinely a good event lol
