If there’s sufficient demand, the World Cube Organization could (and probably should) organize two events, or one event with two championships.
You see that in many other sports. Basketball has 3×3 championships, road cycling had the road race and the individual time trial, cricket has at least 3 different game formats (tests, one-day, and T20), soccer has indoor and outdoor forms, sailing has many different boat types, swimming has separate events for 25m and 50m pools and for open water swimming, etc.
- nsilvestri 4y agoThe WCA already does have multiple events for different puzzles and styles of solving, such as 7x7 cubes and solving a 3x3 with the fewest moves. All but the biggest competitions choose from a subset of those 17 events to include because there's too much demand. There's no technical reason why no-inspection can't be an event, too. No-inspection was an event for 6 months over 15 years ago, but I can't find any information on why it was removed. That being said, it's still possible for a event organizer to have an unofficial event as part of the WCA sanctioned competition. I've recently been seeing Face Turning Octahedron appear as unofficial competition events.
- Blendtherules 4y agoWow I had no idea about the no inspection event, was it with the WCA?
- nsilvestri 4y agoYes, see article G: https://www.worldcubeassociation.org/regulations/history/files/regulations2006.html https://www.worldcubeassociation.org/regulations/history/fil...
