We should definitely hold it at the center of the Earth. It's equally close to all continents.
Yes We Can!

Yup, it would help satisfy the large Africa continent cubing population we have and it's just next to Asia so it's just a car trip for people in Japan.
And if you weren't sure, that has much sarcasm on it.

Yea, just because flat maps show Europe in the 'middle', doesn't mean it's closer to everyone.
EDIT: I needed to refresh this thread

A flat may should be based around the country that you live in. So in European countries, Europe would be in the centre. Maps in NZ put NZ right in the middle.
You're an idiot. You completely ignored Chris' warning not to suggest your own backyard without suggesting a venue that you could get an an organisational team that could handle the competition. You have no idea what it takes to organise a competition of this magnitude therefore you have no opinion and should keep your mouth shut.
Also I suspect a troll.

My 9th grade world history teacher showed us this map in class one day, and I've love it ever since. His map did not say "Upside Down" world map, it just said "World Map," which made it that much cooler in my eyes.
BC1997, I hope you are already starting to see that we see these kinds of posts every year before every large scale competition. These kinds of posts, although they may seem funny at the time, are no different in their reception than the "rofl lulz I just peeled the stickers off!!one!!!"

Upside down compared to what, though?
The Earth is a ball, it can't really be upside down XD

I don't like the wording on that map either, because I agree that the concept of upside down doesn't really make much sense on a sphere. I mean if you wanted to talk about directional vectors fixed at some point on the surface then maybe.
This picture was the closest I could find to the map my teacher showed us in 9th grade, and if you remove the "upside down" part it would look almost exactly like the one he brought into class.
@BC1997
No worries, but now you at least understand why you're receiving the reaction that you're receiving. Also my comment was not directed necessarily at you personally, but at many of the posts I had already seen in this forum.
