US Nationals 2012 (Las Vegas)

[Tyson]

which seminar is tyson's?
is it "what does our staff do?" or "how to organize your own competition"

I'm pretty sure I'll be doing both. With what does our staff do, it will most likely be Tim Reynolds, myself, and some of the other lead organizers such as Jim, Bob, Shelley, Kian, Vincent. With how to organize your own competition, it should be the same people.

Will these seminars be video (or audio) recorded so that those of us who aren't going to Nats2012 can view them? These subjects intrigue me, but I won't be traveling across the country just to participate in them.

Guess I'll practice only OH and suck at everything else.

Isn't this what you do normally? :P

Quick question about hotel reservations: Is the group rate $45/ per person or just $45 for the entire room?

I think it's $45 for the first person in a room, and then they add some amount (like $10) per person added to the room.

We couldn't use the block reservation rooms because they wouldn't take a reservation over the phone for more than 4 people in a single room - they said it wasn't allowed. Even though their website explicitly allows for 5 people in a room (but not 6) (5 is how many we need). Stupid Riviera.

Oh, thanks for the heads up about the 4+ people thing. I too will have a lot of people coming along.

Update: We're now planning to take top 12 to 7x7 finals, instead of top 8.

The $45 price actually goes for up to two people. The extra $10/person is only for the third person and up.
