Idk if they’re considering regionals as majors. I could make the claim that a state championship could be considered as enough of a major to be considered in the process.

It says and/or, so a city that has hosted just a state championship should still be ok.

That’s my bad, I was lowkey up for like 19 hours yesterday on 2 hours of sleep
So there’s a few places we can most likely cross off. Firstly Mexico City (for obvious reasons) then realistically, I think it’s logical to cross off places that have held nats/NAC in the last 10 years or so because I feel like they’re going to want to not repeat places. So that crosses off Pittsburgh and such.

I get the gist behind this but MAN are these clues boring, sounds AI generated.
Personally I do not get why locations have to change, just pick a place in the middle of country (that is suitable) so it is more accessible ?
Is that not what the WCA or whatever want, to get more people there ?

Everyone has a chance to get lucky and have a major close to them every now and then.

I'll just say this now, but I am fairly confident it will be in Denver Colorado. And if I'm right, I will share my reasoning once it is revealed. (On 10/01 if I'm right)

Why on 10/01?

It's part of the multiple reasons I think it will be in Denver. I will share everything once they actually announce Nationals though.

Ok but delete Provo because apparently there aren't direct flights there yet.
Delete Seattle cause worlds was just there
Delete Columbus OH and Charlotte NC, its def not those.
And I think there are a few more I could count out, but I forgot why, but I narrowed to down around 10 myself.

Veteran
Provo was in the list that was posted, maybe its wrong lol
I mean yeah its highly unlikely to be in Seattle again but it could theoretically be there
And why remove Columbus/Charlotte?

New hint, severly narrows it down.
Remaining possible cities are
Seattle
San Antonio
New York
San Diego
Los Angeles
Miami
Denver
Boston
Oklahoma City
Cleveland
Las Vegas
Raleigh
Milwaukee
Since repeats aren't going to happen most likely, Raleigh and Seattle will not be options.
mdcuber9
Veteran
New York, Miami, OKC, Cleveland, and Milwaukee don’t work bc of clue 3
And technically Raleigh wouldn’t even be possible since you can’t fly to Raleigh from Raleigh
So:
Seattle (unlikely)
San Antonio (is holding Texas Champs this year as well as 2024, no regionals though)
Los Angeles
Denver (had Rockies this year)
Boston
Las Vegas

OKC and NYC have had state champs.

mb when I was making my list after clue 3 I was considering the past clues, what I meant to say was rule 2, according to that table you can’t fly to OKC, and I don’t see any state champs in NYC

long island city is part of nyc, although it hasnt happened yet
