US Nationals 2011 planning thread

I just found out that the only weekend during the summer that we could possibly book the Hyatt Regency in Dallas for the competition would be August 26th-29th. If that's not a problem, I can inquire further, but I could see school conflicting with the date. :/

For what it's worth, the room Jim Mertens suggested for Nats and the whole venue are both absolutely amazing. If there is still some way to get OSU after he's gone (i.e. mitchell, emily, tomoya, etc.) it would be a great place for a future nationals.

I'd probably rely on Mitchell, since Tomoya will be graduating next year, and while my sister is good at helping she isn't that into cubing. So OSU being realistic sort of depends on how much initiative Mitchell takes with respect to the club next year.

Because that is the only place in Dallas that we could have a venue?

Yeah, Mitchell would be a good person to handle it then, especially given that he's a freshman.

I was just so impressed with the venue and how well it obviously sets up for a huge competition. It just makes way too much sense for so many reasons that I had to mention it. That student union and the ballroom absolutely blew me away.

Did I say Dallas isn't an option anymore?
No.

Did I show more initiative than most of the people posting in this thread?
Yes.

One word of caution about hotels is that their conference rooms seem to generally have terrible lighting.

I've noticed a bit of a pattern the last few years...

'07 Nats- Chicago (North)
'08 Nats- Atlanta (South)
'09 Nats- Stanford (West)
'10 Nats- Cambridge (East)

It looks like it's time for '11 Nationals to be in the good old north. It would attract Canadians, its also pretty accessible to everyone is the U.S. more so if you lived in New York and Nats was is California.

Nothing in the center of the US. :rolleyes:

Missouri would be great, I can't find any history of comps here, plus relatively easy for most of the US to get to.

why would the canadians be at natonals, it's not their nation just there continent

 

[Logan]

What I define as the center of the US:

*give or take a state or two.

 

[miniGOINGS]

Why can't the center of the US be in Canada?

Don't even go there, boy! The Canadians are :3 :3 :3 !!! ;D

Are you insinuating it isn't? The United States owns the whole world, don't ya know.

I'll have to second that one. The venue would make an astounding nationals. Not to mention the funding that OSU could provide the cube club (Jim, more details on that perhaps?) on top of the huge space for no charge.

Missouri would be great

No it wouldn't.

I can't find any history of comps here

Maybe the Missouri Open?

I don't like the cost of traveling to those places. I can usually travel all the way to California for hundreds of dollars less.
