Sorry Anthony, we already went to your part of Texas. We can do San Antonio, Dallas, and Houston during the summer. Or something like that.

We'll see.

I'm not saying it should have been down here. It's just that the majority of Texas speedcubers are kids and many of them won't be able to go all the way to Oklahoma in April. Had it been San Antonio in April and Oklahoma in the summer, instead of the other way around, more cubers would show up to each. Oh well, I'll look forward to the summer.

I just had to point this out, the 2010 Oklahoma Open website still has

Venue: Rancho Viejo Country Club

(It's its separate section)

Still at your place Anthony

Fixed. Thanks for pointing it out.

Maybe; however, it's much harder for college students to book rooms during the summer. By much harder, I mean often impossible.

I suppose. Like I said, oh well.

Plus, there still hasn't been a good venue in San Antonio. Even for a competition where there are only 20 competitors, you want a room that can facilitate like... 75-100 people, at least. You gotta think about the families of the competitors, all the extra space we need so that people don't feel crowded, stage area, etc.

Just to give you an idea, the room for the Houston competition last year had a capacity of 150 people, and we had about 25 competitors (plus their families and all the people who just came to watch). There was plenty of space so that people could spread out, etc. Compare it to the Dallas competition, where it was a bit more cramped. Yea, both worked out fine, but the former was more comfortable.
