Noooooo! #speedBLD4life
But actually, good idea. I didn't even know we had these. Presumably to support http://speedcubing.com/results/ ?
Oh my speedcubing.com =)
When speedbld is an official event, we can add it back =).
I did this as part of my changes for #294.
I was just asked by someone why we have these events in the database which were never official and remembered this issue.
TLDR: These events are still in the database!
Ahh, I see. I removed these from the virtual models we used to have, but we've gone back to our (messy) database for this.
Actually, these events were never official, but their results were at some time in history
What do you mean, Julio? These events were never official, and any results associated with them were also never official.
When there was no real official list of events (before 2007), the WCA recognized many results that are considered as unofficial now. Removed events haven’t seen their results archived, so the only way to access them currently is via speedcubing.com
Our current list of events:
rank < 990 means "this event is official". 990 <= rank < 1000 means "this event was once official". rank >= 1000 means "this event was never official". See:
Fortunately, it looks like we don't actually have any results for events that were never official:
Removing these is a simple migration. Further improvement would be to remove the Events table entirely =).
