just recieved my visa today, im so excited to travel to the other side of the world to brazil from India!!
inb4 its all guys staffing those heats
anyway yeah that seems sexist >.>
I wouldn't call it "sexist" at all. Brasil has a tradition of having a female podium in most if not all competitions. It's just a thing we do
Btw can't see that information on the website Laura, perhaps you could link it?

I just searched for my name in the grouping list on the website (Group S7).
After all those long discussions about female rankings (don't want to repeat all the arguments against them ;-)) it's really strange to have separate groups.
At least I want to compete in a mixed group, I always do and I don't understand why this should be different at Worlds.
Imo the country who is hosting the competition has the right to do something that its their "tradition"/"thing" no? You're coming to a new country to experiment things, wouldn't it be a bummer if you just decide to not engage in it? As I said before it's not sexist in our point of view..

So what is the reason? And why is this "tradition" kept only in 3x3?
I have competed in several countries, things are done differently everywhere and I'm absolutely fine with that when there is a (even weak) reason to do it that way.
Btw. I didn't use the word "sexist".
waaaa im gonna stream all day!

Yes , it's strange competitions. Why this is different?
Why are things traditions?... Just because it has for a long time. Almost every sport does it, I don't see it as an issue as an organized sub-group for this hobby/activity/sporty-thing.
I'm guessing the split is not done with other cube categories because there might not be enough female competitors signed up for those solves.

Hi Guys! Shall I register guests or is the competition public for everyone?
ooh another boy scoutI leave for 1 week of Boy Scout camp July 19th ;-;
maybe I could watch the finals on my phone or something
There was no strong reason for this, we just thought it would be cool to have all girls competing at once.
But I can see how this may sound sexist or offensive, so I went ahead and changed it.
