Bruh.
I would like to see 8x8 9x9 6bld 7bld as official events.also some puzzles like fisher cube,cuboids,square 2.also i would like 3x3 to have ao12 ie every competitor gets 12solves
Of removing events i would like clock and feet removed.also FMC should be made 30 min and ao5 FMC must be introduced.and surely BLD must be made ao5 (allowing 1 DNF)and 4bld and 5bld must be made mean of 3.
also ao5 3bld allowing 1 DNF and mean of 3 for 4bld and 5bld.6bld looks tough.like FMC before 2013 i think only 1 attempt of 6bld must be given to competitior per competition.as in 6bld the average number of mistakes made under any mood will be almost same..
6-9BLD will likely never be official due to lack of popularity.
Fisher Cube is a slower version of 3x3 with twistable equatorial centres that also isn't particularly popular, though I like it.
Cuboids may have something going for them. I don't solve cuboids and wouldn't compete in them if they were to be official. I just wonder which cuboids would be made official, if any, and how that conclusion would be reached.
Square-2 isn't popular enough. It's a cool puzzle though.
3x3 avg12 in competition would be really tough to do from an organisational perspective. It would more than double the amount of time required to run 3x3, especially if multiple rounds were to be implemented. Also, the results would be very inconsistent with results now.
If clock and feet were removed, competitors in those events would undoubtedly be very unhappy. I like to think, "If x event were never an official event, could it become popular enough and remain non-trivial enough to be considered to be one?" I think the answer is 'no' in both cases (due to hypothetical lack of popularity).
If FMC were to have a 30-minute time limit, it would become a different event entirely. The time restraint difference is too drastic. Also, FMC hardly has been run as mo3 because of scheduling 3 hours to hold it. At a 30-minute length with ao5 format, organisers would only "save" 30 minutes and have many more papers to grade. What would likely happen is organisers would be more keen to hold best of 1 or best of 2 for FMC at the 30-minute length. Additionally, the DNF rate for FMC is too high to consider an ao5 format.
BLD as ao5 could work, though it would lengthen the amount of time needed for BLD by at least 66.66%.
4-5BLD as mo3 could NOT work due to lack of popularity, time required to hold mo3, and the sheer difficulty of getting a mo3. That's 3 hours, our current FMC issue.
Then, allowing only one solve for 6BLD at a competition is ridiculous. Are you suggesting a longer time limit for 6BLD? Setting aside that sort of time in any competition is bound to be tough, and no other event currently runs as best of 1 format exclusively.
