US Nationals 2013 [Cancelled]

[drewsopchak]

It cannot be canceled, until it is announced. There was never any venue, schedule, WCA page ect. Plushies

That's not true at all. You do realize that we start planning the next nationals before the current one has even taken place, right? The organizers have been exchanging emails about Nats 2012 since March 2011. Just because it hasn't been announced yet doesn't mean it can't be canceled.

SCMU has a REALLY big budget issue too. I'm raisin funds for it by opening a cube store, making custom merchandise and holding workshops. Also, sponsor hunting willl start soon...

I sure hope that this means worlds in North America (hopefully US) next year!

Just wait for official announcements, chances are the worlds thing is the reason, as it would be a reasonable exchange for no national comp.

This is about as official as it gets, buddy. Sorry.

idk if this is a valid suggestion, but maybe charging international competitors will bring enough funds?

But then that leads to the possibility of chasing away international competitors. And increasing registration costs will only chase us away (well at least me )

Until Bob, Tyson, or any other delegate says something informative, hopefully with a few details, I'm simply going with the idea of Worlds. But I'm kind of confused how I heard they had little revenue to do Nationals, but have enough to do World Championships. Guess we'll have to wait

Maybe they don't have enough for Nats because Worlds is in the making.

Our biggest issue with US Nats 2013 is man power. Some of our key personnel will be unable to assist with 2013, and I myself will be too busy with other things to take the same type of role that I've been taking. So we're really just looking for some people to drive the event, make it happen, as our main organizers have various issues coming up in 2013 that will prevent them from helping to the capacity that we need.

That's pretty unfortunate. But I'm sure Nats 2012 will be an event to remember so let's just look forward to that!

Sorry guys, you'll have to live with Worlds in 2013.
