Worlds. Will it actually happen?

[Hadley4000]

I have heard that Hong Kong is out. I have heard rumors about California, etc etc. I must ask, will it actually happen this year, or skip a year and go on in 2010?

 

[Hadley4000]

The world championship...

 

[KubeKid73]

Lol. I guess that was a stupid question. I deleted it and I'm glad you didn't quote it.

 

[AvGalen]

The rumors from Hong Kong being cancelled come from Ron and me. I guess that means they are not really rumors

Last I heard was a possible merger between Worlds and US Open, but nobody LOVES that idea.

Sponsor/money/organisation are all problems that need to be dealt with. I hope we will hear something about this soon from Ron/Tyson/Masayuki Akimoto

Tyson says it has nothing to do with him. There is no way that they will merge WC and US Open.

It would be nice to see the World Championships in the United States to make it easily accessible for cubers living in North America.

I already guessed that much. I didn't like the idea either

Ron mentioned that he would make sure Worlds would happen "even if he had to organise it in his own backyard". It is starting to look like he will need a big backyard in the near future

It would be nice to see the World Championships in the United States to make it easily accessible for cubers living in North America.

hmm, pretty selfish thought

It would be nice to see the World Championships in Luxembourg to make it easily accessible for cubers living in Luxembourg.

Lets have it at Bob's house

 

[anderson26]

Yes I agree it was pretty selfish. But it's true

 

[AvGalen]

Lets have it at Bob's house

That means USA, Canada or Phillipines. I am hoping for nr. 2 or 3

 

[Jhong253]

let's hold the competition at the largest house owned by a delegate/board member

 

[Dene]

Yes I agree it was pretty selfish. But it's true

I vote New Zealand. It is true that it will be much easier to access for me then.

 

[anderson26]

Ok. Out of U.S.A and Hong Kong, any other places it could possibly be held? And on a side note, if it is held in 2009, anyone know what month it would possibly be in?

Philippines? Yes please! Though I wouldn't be going, I will only spend 3 weeks of vacation time there(June/July). Hopefully there's another competition after Cebu Open and Rizal Open.

There is that little continent called Europe.

According to the WCA statistics the top five largest countries (by number of competitors ever) are USA (1545), China (464), Japan (389), Korea (284), France (231). The US has more competitors than the other four combined (!). So if you're going to choose a competition location just to make it easily accessible to the greatest number of people, I think the US would be a good choice. (Of course, the US is a bad choice in the sense that it is far from many other countries, whereas a competition in mid-western Europe or Asia would be close to very many countries.)

I'm not talking continents, I'm talking city's, Countrys
