The 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.

Wow I had no idea about the no inspection event, was it with the WCA?
