US Nationals 2016 - July 29 - 31, Portland, Oregon

[JustinTimeCuber]

to my knowledge there has been a grand total of 0 comps in Louisiana Ever

KC wouldn't be to bad for me though.

yeah, I've been to the one comp in KC after I started cubing, and 2 comps in Lawrence, about 45 minutes west of KC.

 

[WACWCA]

It should be in Illinois. There aren't very many Illinois comps. in the last 2 years, there have only been ~5 comps.

Well than thats because less cubers are there, they are going to put nationals in an area where more people are likely to come

 

[Jaysammey777]

This argument seems rather weird for me. Why should a state that is know not to have comps/people interested/good organizers/etc.. Have nats held there? That just kinda makes it less appealing right?

^ I would like to modify this to include that I would rather go to a US Beauty that has mediocre participation than a meh area with lots of participation. But if an area has no current cubing participation and isn't a place that Americans would normally take a vacation to(or something similar to) then that area doesn't have a lot to offer nats. Just IMO

Not really, they tried to put it in a more remote place last time to lower the number of competitors to make it easier on the organizers.

 

[nalralz]

I do hope it is in Illinois.

 

[Mikel]

Yeah, but understand that there are tons of states that haven't even had any competitions whatsoever (ex. Alabama, Mississippi, and WV) so before you b***h about not having enough comps in your state, feel sympathy for those who haven't been to a comp in their area.

Please do not spread lies amongst the community. West Virginia (WV) has had two WCA sanctioned competitions within its state borders.

If you haven't been to a competition in your state, organize one. I am pretty sure that the delegate has had a bunch of organizing experience and is more than willing to help with the organization process. Just make sure there is a date that works. And a venue that works. Then start from there.

I can't grammar today.

 

[Dadd]

If it is not going to be a coastal place (like Hilton Head), it will probably be in a 1 million+ metro area like St. Louis, KC, Chicago, or Dallas.

Yes, but they were more than 3 years ago, and with the growth of the community, thats extremely outdated. I'm not using that an excuse, because I am wrong, but all I'm doing is proving a point.

Like South Carolina? ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)

+1
I completely agree with this. Also, I meant even in surrounding states.

 

[JamesDanko]

Hoping for somewhere in the MN area. When do we get the hint today?

Whenever I make one up. Pretty soon, I guess.

 

[EpiCuber7]

I know practically nothing about US, so don't get angry at me
I guess new york (hope that's not state capital)

Sorry, but New York was ruled out with the third hint.

Minneapolis is a pretty big city, with a large convention center and it's not a capital. I'm hoping it's there.

Yeah, that's really the only MN option.

 

[Memphis3000]

I'm guessing Michigan, because Kit.

 

[Kian]

Clue #4- US Nationals 2016 will be held in a city that is home to at least one Big Four (NFL, MLB, NBA, and NHL) team.

 

[Memphis3000]

Detroit... I'm guessing Detroit.

 

[NJ Cuber]

I am guessing Texas.
