Ok let's take this up a notch:

2021(rest of it):
Probably none bc no comps for most of the year.

2022:
2x2: stays
2x2 avg: sub 1(probs in the range of .7-.9)
3x3: 2.9x (people are getting sub 3s at home so we should expect this)
3x3 avg: low 5
4x4: sub 15
4x4 avg: high 18
5x5: 30-32.xx
6x6: stays
6x6 mean: stays
7x7: 1:35-1:40.xx
7x7 mean: low 1:40
Pyra: probably stays
Pyra avg: 1.8x
Mega: 25.xx(not sure)
Mega avg: low 29
Skewb: stays
Skewb avg: 1.8-1.9x(probs even 1.7)

2025(singles except for 3x3):

Dude i think with enough comp attendence max could probably get a sub 5 avg, but then again with covid and all...
the reason i think this is that max has many sub 5 ao5s at home and even tough he often uses the rubiks connected which could be corrupt i still think he is capable of a sub 5 stackmat avg with enough trys,

World Record Predictions for Year 2025

What do you think that the WCA world records will be in the year 2025? This is basically the same thing as the 2020 thread, just 5 years ahead.

World Record Predictions for the year 2030

10 years and one day ago, the thread World Record predictions in the year 2020? was posted, which has since become one of the most viewed threads on Speedsolving, and produced some hilariously slow predictions. So let's make some more! Here's a copy paste for singles/averages in all events...

did anyone compile the list of predictions and see who was closest?

 

[scrubizilla]

nah i didn't but it was pretty ridiculous one person guessed a high 6 single and 8 avg and now theres around 900 people with 8 avgs lol!

 

[ProStar]

I might work on something like that if I'm bored one day and want to mindlessly input data into an SQL program

there's not as many predictions as you'd think because some people only predicted for 1 year or 5 years.
a spreadsheet still might be faster
if you do then I can help

I want to express my firm opinion that the ZB method will transform cubing.
In 2020 many people will have switched to ZB, and start to have consistent sub 9 averages.

(Ik that I'm replying to a post from 2009-10)
People get sub 6 avgs with just OLL-PLL and nothing else lol.
If in their opinion, 100 people is "many", then congrats to them bc they're correct.
ZB has transformed cubing, but probs not so much.
