US State Rankings

[Me]

I've been wanting to see something like this for a while now.

With cubing getting more popular I see it becoming more necessary to start to narrow in on rankings and not just looking at national, continental, global records. Everyone should have something to strive for, with state records (or territory, regional records) newer or not as fast of cubers have that. Kinda like with chess, looking at my state ranking makes me feel much better about my self and my skill than my world ranking, it also provides me with a more feasible goal to try and achieve.

There are two things that need to be done:
#1 is that we have to get more people on the site. How many different people have been to competitions, or participate on this forum really? I know this guy in Europe who's really from the states, and that could skew the distribution. For example, my region only has like 7 cubers.
#2 was covered in number one. DO IT NOW. More people on CubingUSA. Advertise that ish at competitions. Do what needs to be done to generate a good following that will attract a community where competitions can be accessible for more people (hint, hint).

Everyone just make a video and talk about it for 30s, then expect an odd traffic spike. I'll do it for this friday.

I'd be fine with just east coast vs west coast. \X/, WEST COAST

What does Texas qualify as?

Mexico.

Regions are done. Now you can see comparisons against a larger group of people.....

Just wanted to let you know that you spelled "Mountain" incorrectly in the regions. Figured you'd want to know so you could fix the typo.

Oh cool, I'm first in state for everything.

Factor in Andrew Kang, and it makes me second. (x

I finally realized what the dashes vs double-dashes are for

Can you split the states and regions into 2 optgroups, and maybe indent the sub-regions further? This might make it a bit easier to read.

It's still in beta form. But, in order to be ranked, you must have a CubingUSA account, put in your WCA ID, and mark that you want to be shown on the map (otherwise putting you in the rankings may inadvertently reveal your location).

If you have comments, feel free to post them. Again, this is in beta form. The results are based off of the wcadump that we can grab once a month, so last weekend's competitions won't be there.
