2010 Oklahoma Open

Sorry Anthony, we already went to your part of Texas. We can do San Antonio, Dallas, and Houston during the summer. Or something like that.

We'll see.

I'm not saying it should have been down here. It's just that the majority of Texas speedcubers are kids and many of them won't be able to go all the way to Oklahoma in April. Had it been San Antonio in April and Oklahoma in the summer, instead of the other way around, more cubers would show up to each. Oh well, I'll look forward to the summer.

Maybe; however, it's much harder for college students to book rooms during the summer. By much harder, I mean often impossible.

I suppose. Like I said, oh well.
 
Plus, there still hasn't been a good venue in San Antonio. Even for a competition where there are only 20 competitors, you want a room that can facilitate like... 75-100 people, at least. You gotta think about the families of the competitors, all the extra space we need so that people don't feel crowded, stage area, etc.

Just to give you an idea, the room for the Houston competition last year had a capacity of 150 people, and we had about 25 competitors (plus their families and all the people who just came to watch). There was plenty of space so that people could spread out, etc. Compare it to the Dallas competition, where it was a bit more cramped. Yea, both worked out fine, but the former was more comfortable.

I know? lol.
 
Even if it weren't in OK I'm helping out with a Model United Nations conference that day. I'm still looking for a good venue; I haven't seen the tentative one but it does sound way too small for the number of people we would expect.

According to Google Maps, it's an 8 hour drive. According to the events list, there are no big cubes.

No thanks :(

Dang I hoped that it would be SanAntonio....I'm out.
Shouldn't TEXAS speedcubing be making competitions in TEXAS.

You are both wrong.

Truncator: 4x4 and 5x5 are big cubes, and if you think otherwise, you're SOL. I don't forsee us having 6x6 and 7x7 at a Texas competition any time soon because we can barely manage to occasionally squeeze in 5x5. :/
ZamHalen: Expansion isn't a bad thing. There was a competition last month that was less than an hour away from you, but you chose to do something else instead. Sorry, you missed out.
