US Nationals 2014 - Jersey City, New Jersey - August 1-3, 2014

[Vincents]

Hey just an idea. I had seen that the Vegas venues were pricey I was just offering a cheaper venue if they wanted it

The limiting factor (or reagent, if you will) on US 2014 is not price; it's expertise, a suitable venue (which includes the community), and the manpower to go out and make it all work. Price we can discuss later.

I suppose it's time to continue this discussion?

While some people may think "World JUST happened! Give them a break before talking about the next big competition!", I beg to differ. Planning for US Nationals 2014 began last year, so it's no trouble to bring up the topic now. Besides, I'm just bumping this thread to restart the discussion here. Hope no one minds.

2 words: "Underground Atlanta."

Has there been any more discussion outside of this forum about where Nats will be/who will be hosting?

I approve of holding it in Vegas again. I think because it is simpler to run and cheaper for most people to travel it is a good choice. Really the only downside is there have already been two consecutive big competitions there but I don't know if that's really a good reason to not do it there.

If anything, this is a good reason to hold it there. Wimbledon has been held in the exact same location for the past 136 years

 

[rowehessler]

I think you guys did a great job organizing last year and this year. I vote for Riviera again.

I agree. But some people don't seem to. Also Wimbledon is named after the city it's held in, would be kinda ridiculous to hold it elsewhere lol.

Haha very true, but you get my point

Guys you should keep in mind the OP, if you are suggesting another venue, you should be ready to organize it. (I'm not suggesting anything however, just clarifying for other posts.)

If Nationals is in LV again I probably won't be too happy, although of course I have no control over it.

 

[curtishousley]

I vote Vegas, as that will allow me to attend!

 

[JackJ]

Please be constructive everyone. Don't just throw a city out there because it's close to you. Think about airfare, transportation, a venue. Also, there needs to be a team willing to organize the competition.

Rumor is east coast, that's all I know.

 

[Kit Clement]

I'd be willing to host and organize a team if people are open to Michigan. I don't know how feasible it is to have it here though, so if I had an idea of the budget 2014 Nats would have, I could look into further details of this event. Being a student at UMich, it would be relatively easy to find cheap venues, but I'd rather know what my budget would be before putting time into researching this.

I hope you'll realize that Tyson and other organizers couldn't possibly care less.


If you're going to give Nashville as a suggestion, how about giving a specific venue option (and the necessary associated info) along with it?

Not one of us is so important that hosting the event near that person will ever be a deciding factor.

How about the George R Brown Convention Center in Houston Texas?

There is an abundance of hotels

Great places to go

And also, it can be run by Texas Speedcubing (Anthony Brooks and many others?)

 

[antoineccantin]

I've heard from multiple people that there are rumors of it being in New Jersey?

PS: I'd absolutely love that.

 

[Jboogie300]

Yeah i heard the same thing

 

[mikester17]

If you guys loved Vegas then you should go some where in Atlantic City

 

[DaveyCow]

So, regrouping, has anyone had anything constructive to say about the OP? Specifically, just to remind us all, it seems we have three choices: No Nats14, Nats14 in vegas, or Nats14 held somewhere else but by a different organizational team.

My personal preference is to not have it in vegas again and would like to see it somewhere other than the east coast (they have so many comps already! ). I would not be able to organize this, though, so what I say here is just my thoughts.

BUT in any case, back to the OP, where are we on this?

Then we would be able to meet each other at Nats!

I would say yes to USNats14 to make up for no USNats13
