Depends on where it gets organized. The Easter weekend doesn't last 4 days everywhere.
4 day competition?

If I have a part in organising it will be in the UK where we do have 4 day Easter break. Not sure yet. Will have a think and talk to Daniel, James and Chris.
I was actually just winding Greg up but it doesn't sound so bad to me. There may be an issue with number of competitors because even though not many of the solvers in the UK are very religious a lot of our families still expect to see us over that holiday.

Maybe he meant 300+ registered people. I actually remember seeing such an insane number of registrations for that comp on the WCA site, apparently a lot of people registered but didn't show up.

A-a-adam. This isn't actually happening is it. I didn't mean for this to escalate.

I think 4 days would be over the top for anything but the major championships currently. I doubt Adam would convince me otherwise

Might be easier to convince James.

I was just thinking this actually, more delegates = more chance of convincing them to allow crazy competitions

I bid for the first four day comp to be in Ireland, with 15 competitors, and 6 rounds of every event. Bring it on!

Need 15 just to have 3 rounds, 100 for 4.

You can hold more rounds than that if you want, but the extra ones will be unofficial.

Couldn't you work around the regulations by having it officially appear as two different competitions, being in the same location at the same time (well, one the day after of something)?

Try convincing the board to allow that.
If that were allowed I would just organise 4 competitions on the same day, all of them with 3 rounds of 3x3. 12 official rounds in a day, yes please.

Apart from the fact that, as James points out, the Board would never allow that, it's not really a 4-day comp anymore. If I want to attend two 2-day comps in a row I can as well take a train to go from one location to another one.
