US Nationals 2011

Why are nationals always after school starts? My school starts August 8th. You should start making these slightly earlier in the summer.

Staff is most available around this time. Semester schools start 1-2 weeks after, so all the poor college kids are back in the country instead of being abroad or busy with lab/internships or whatnot. Granted half of us still have issues, but it's worked out well for a while now.

not ALWAYS...2004, 2006, 2007, 2008, and 2010 were all before August 8th, some as early as June and July...well, 2010 was August 6-8, but I figure school probably didn't start on a Sunday. :)
 
Didn't go to nationals last year, but I probably will this year. Also, I'm bringing a friend of mine who never has been to a competition and until recently fell out of cubing. We're headed up from Raleigh, so it'll be quite the car ride. Anyone know how to cube while on the road and not get carsick?

Why can't we go back to that? It seems that mid august is now the preferred time since 2009. I'd much rather it be in June/July
 
I think June is crappy because a lot of schools are still in session (high schools, that is, but even some colleges on trimesters and quarters)
