US Nationals 2011 planning thread

There is even a theme song.

Where in the world is Victor Sandiego?

 

[ShadenSmith]

Oh, you mean this stud?

We should make Nationals 2011 a week long and do 4 rounds of everything.

Except 6x6 and 7x7 and feet, of course. Those events are just dumb.

THANK YOU.

That's the man you could smell like if you used old spice instead of lady scented body wash.

Ya, and then decide after first round of BLD to not do anymore BLD.
Make sure we keep 5x5BLD tho.

The Convention Center in Indianapolis is a rather large venue, and GenCon was going on there during Nationals this year. Of course you could say I'm somewhat biased since I live real close. I'd also like to see about it in the Twin Cities (thanks to whoever mentioned mall of america ), or maybe the DFW area? I don't have any good reason as to why those would be good places other than the fact they'd be good tourist type places for the parents of cubers, or the cubers who want to get out and see some neat stuff. I could make the same argument about a lot of other cities though.

You're somewhat biased since you live real close.

Ohio sounds good because we'd have the transfer Tim -> Jim.
(Time to find a Vim in San Diego?)

Yeah, we should have 5 rounds of those.

Is that even WCA legal?

I'd really like to see some better 6x6s and 7x7s next year. Scrambling them was awful, especially Dan Cohen's 6x6. I was honestly considering giving that one to him misaligned (but I didn't).

 

[deathbypapercutz]

Thanks for taking one for the team

My second 6x6 scramble had the core misaligned when I got it.
Not that it mattered...(I DNF'd)

I was thinking to my self that Chicago would be nice, and we could have it in the UIC pavilion.

But then I realized, it's basically a basketball arena (Chicago Flames and Chicago Sky play there), and it will be very expensive.

I was reading through this application form (http://www.uicpavilion.com/_files/application_for_uicrental.pdf) and it says the minimum rental per day is $10,000. Now, I have no idea what the average cost for rent of a venue is for a competition, but I can assume that is lot.

Not to mention that it was in Chicago three years ago.
