What is the Best Unofficial Event? Should It Be In the Wca? Why?

 

[abunickabhi]

I think it should be baby FTO, as it is a unique puzzle,

not as hard to learn and do well like the normal FTO,

and also a skewb mod. Baby FTO is also called the skewb diamond.

The event would be scramble dependent and a lot of one looking is possible, making it like 2x2 , pyraminx and skewb in the sprint event category.

as of popularity and hardware, FTO is probably the best right now. I don’t do any unofficial events so i dont really have an opinion

 

[Twisted101]

The main unofficial event I like speedsolving is the 3-layer pentahedron

 

[DA_BOY]

Dino cube would be cool its a pretty fun puzzle

 

[Daichi Halphen]

FTO is by far the most popular event.

ShengShou 3-Layer Pentahedron

The ShengShou 3-Layer Pentahedron is a 5-sided puzzle that solves similarly to a cuboid. This is a great first step into the world of non-WCA puzzles!

Interesting puzzle type, how many possible combinations does this puzzle have?

What's the god number for this puzzle?

I would say FTO, but I'm also leaning on the Mirror Blocks.

Thanks for the precise answer and the link to Jaap's page. I am pleasantly surprise that his webpage still exists.

 

[VortexCuber]

Either mirror blocks or kilominx.

 

[Renslay]

FTO, no doubt in my case!

 

[Isaiah Scott]

we should add feet back

 

[silduck]

I'd love more XxYxZ sort of events, NxNxN quickly gets boring after a while.

 

[Filipe Teixeira]

we could have a "unnoficial-official" event from competition to competition

for example, an officially organized event of a non-wca event.

that could be easily adapted on the WCA db like a "custom event"

also there could be a delegate responsible for that one event on the competition

that way we could experiment different events without all the compromise

The best unofficial event is 3x3 Ao25, like Tymon says.
The rules need to change so your judge scrambles your 2nd cube just after you solve the first one and gives you the new cube and you do a ton of solves right in a row.
