Cube world twitter7/3/2023 ![]() ![]() Professional Female Cuber, Dana Yi, was featured in Red Bull’s promotional video. However in spectators’ eyes, this type of competition would be perfect for the average to watch. On one hand, a professional speedcuber may have a single bad solve, and then would be knocked out of the competition altogether, unlike traditional WCA competitions where each competitor would have multiple solves that go towards an average. This “head to head” style of competition may be considered great or horrible, depending on which perspective you look at it. Again, each Red Bull and Rubik’s event would be head to head, meaning the person with the fastest times would get to progress, and the other person would no longer be able to compete. The final event is “Rescramble”, which is a best of one event where the competitor would need to copy a scramble from another 3x3. The second event would be 3x3 OH (One Hand), but without inspection, something most competitors rely on to know what will occur next so they can plan their next move. The first is the best of five solves, where the person with the best single would progress further. However in Red Bull’s and Rubik’s’ Competition, competitors go head to head, with three different event styles. This would be stacked up against other competitors’ solves, and a select amount of people with higher times would progress to the next round. The three remaining times would be averaged out, and would be used as the competitor’s Average of 5 time. Traditionally in WCA competitions, for standard 3x3 events the competitor would do five solves of the 3x3, and the quickest and slowest solves would be disregarded. A speedcubing competition held by Red Bull would be a major step for the entirety of the cubing community, but there are many speed bumps before it can run smoothly. Red Bull does organise arguably amazing competitions, such as their “Paper Wings” competition, a Paper Plane Championship again hosted by Red Bull. Red Bull, WCA and Rubik's: they all organize cubing World Championships. Loyal cubers have recently become enraged due to Red Bull disregarding the WCA ![]() However, the problem standing is there is already another World Championship, held by the World Cubing Association, or the WCA. Starting in January 2018 according to Red Bull’s site, there is going to be another Rubik’s Cube World Championship, claiming to be a “new, global competition designed to challenge even the most accomplished Cube solvers”, held by both Red Bull and Rubiks.
