What splits should I use for every wca event and how much time should I spend on each part?

im planning on doing an ao100 for every event with splits to see what I have to work on

(except for 4, 5 bld and mbld)
kinda like for 3x3 the splits are cross - f2l - oll - pll

3x3 - cfop
2x2 - cll (i know most cases but i always make a layer)
4x4 - yau
5x5 - redux
6x6 - redux
7x7 - redux
3BLD - M2/OP
OH - cfop
clock - flip
megaminx - westlund? (i think)
pyraminx - lbl
skewb - sarahs beginner (i think)
square-1 - vandenbergh
 
2x2: Theoretically, the splits would be Face-CLL+AUF, but using splits of such a short event is silly, as it makes your times a second worse, and gives you more time for recognizing the CLL.

For 4x4, the splits are F2C, 3 Cross edges, L4C, Last Cross Edge, 3-2-3, 3x3 stage F2L, and Last Layer.

5x5, I’d say the splits are F2C—L4C—First four Edges—second four edges—Last 4 Edges—3x3 stage.

6x6 and 7x7, it can be good to time your centers individually, such as C-C-C-C-C (as when you solve the 5th center, the sixth is already solved), then tracking your F4E, S4E, and L4E individually. Then end with 3x3 for 7x7, but do what you did in 4x4 and make two phases for 3x3, one for Cross+F2L, and another for LL

For Megaminx, the splits are Star, F2L, S2L, OLL, and PLL

OH should be the same as 3x3

Skewb and Pyraminx meet the same problem as 2x2, so I wouldn’t bother.

Square-One: Cubeshape-CO-EO-CP-EP

CLONK: First cross edges (FLIP), Last cross edges, Corners

Thank you! Could you also say how much time (or % of the solve) i should spend on thise steps?
