This is interesting, I wonder how much time CEWG would take to reach a conclusion in their feasibility study.

I would vouch for FTO and master pyraminx events as they are already unique additions and have a small but thriving community for actively speedsolving it.

I already submitted. FTO was on my list among others that most likely will never be added.

I submitted for fto and kilominx

I submitted for fto and kilominx

Kilo was one of mine, so was giga, 8 and 9
But I mainly put FTO down because of hardware, the others just because they could be fun

im really hoping for team blind...

i don’t really care which one gets added, but FTO seems interesting (like bro I see most of the cube is unsolved then they do some sort of 3-cycle then they have some sort of parity like that sounds so cool to me)
edit: I want FTO to be added

Lots of discussion about specific events, but without some overhaul to the events system, even FTO is unlikely to be added. This is more what the Working Group and the form seem to be focused on.

team blind

I personally cannot think of an event other than FTO that can or should realistically be added. FTO has everything an unofficial event needs to be considered, while every other puzzle or event format falls short. So for my response I only put FTO, as to not detract from that end.

I don't to WCA stuff, but Curvy Copter, Kilominx, and FTO deserve to be events.

(I like Curvy copter because it would be the first edge turning event)
