Gear Cube as an event?

Hi, I really like solving my gear cube, but unfortunately there is no event for it. I think it would be great if it could be added as an event...
It would introduce a new challenge and would be fun to compete in. Also, I am not that great at speedcubing, but if the gear cube was an event, I'd have a better chance of coming in the top 5. Thank you! ☺

Hello,
How many people currently speedsolve this cube ?
Is there any "new" interest on solving this particular cube, comparing to all other currently "wca official" puzzles ?
Adding a puzzle is not done just because people ask for! It's kind of a process that the WCA board goes through.
Have a nice day, and happy new year!

Sure. But there are lots of unofficial puzzles which would introduce new challenges and are fun to compete in.

Neither am I. But "I want to get easy podiums" does not qualify as a valid reason for adding new events, sorry.
How many competitions have already held Gear Cube as an unofficial event ? This is usually a good indication of how popular a new event would be, and I don't remember having ever seen that one held at any comp I've attended, sorry.

It would be good.

I can solve a gear cube pretty well. 30 seconds is my time.
