Cube from 3x3x3 to 5x5x5 have blindfold event. I think it should be the same for 2x2x2. The fact is that 2x2x2 blind is pretty fast to do so it's not a big deal for competition's organisators to add this. This is a pretty interesting event because it allow very creative new methods. Many people would be also allowed to try blindfold with an easier challenge. 2x2x2 blind have the qualities to be an interesting event in competition. In addition, WCA regulation already exists for blindfold cubing and 2x2x2, so create the regulation for blindfold 2x2x2 is not a big deal.

I think it won't be too long until someone gets a 4-mover and a 5 seconds solve, making it a much less fun event.

I didn't mean 4 move scramble, but 4 move solution

When 4 and 5 BLD was introduced it increased the challenge from the "normal" BLD event. I don't see how 2x2x2 BLD would bring any new challenges as an event.

Even if we still did 25 random turns to scramble it, 4 move solutions will still pop up every now and then.

MadsMohr > Specific method like speedblind are usable on 2x2x2, but are not on 3x3x3 on a competitive way. I think this event will generate very different method than bigger cube blind. DanCohen > 2x2x2 scramble generator actually generate a scramble from a (pseudo) random position. 2x2x2 is an easy enough to compute puzzle to discard easy solutions. I have calculated the god alg for this puzzle in javascript in 6s using chrome. This is just not a problem.

We already have more than enough blindfolded events imho. I'd rather see a BLD event going than being added, it's speedcubing, not memory sports. Besides, 2x2 bld would be nothing new at all and be won by people who see a whole solution accidentally...

2x2x2 blindfolded will not become a new event in WCA Regulations 2010. Reasons: - not enough support in our community - high chance of different difficulty levels - problematic procedure (some solves may take as little as 5 seconds)
