Chicago Open?

Any new news if this is going to happen, Kevin?

It probably will, but I'm going to have to work out a day with my school's principal to see when this could be. I'm going to talk to him on Wednesday to see when this could be. So I'll probably update this on Wednesday.

On another topic, there is a stage in the cafeteria that is about three feet high. Would you guys prefer to have room for about 8 timers on the stage with scramblers behind them or room for as many as we can get on the floor of the cafeteria?
 
Do you have a WCA Delegate in mind?

I'd come. Something is being planned for Indiana, so you might want to coordinate with Mike Hughey before setting a final date. Two competitions in one month is fine...

Bryan will probably come as well. I know he's been saying for a long time that he wants a competition in Chicago.

Your school sounds just like mine, except my principal postpones the competition until spring.

Oh, and I'll probably be bringing about 5 people (3 competitors), although this is presuming it's a day I can go.

Yup, as long as it works with my schedule (work, and if there's other Minnesota competitions)

Hopefully stuff gets scheduled soon. The longer the notice, the cheaper the flights (or Megabus). It's also driveable, but if I was going to be the delegate, I'd want to get "storm-proof" transportation.

I'm going to give my principal information on this tomorrow; is there any information yet on when the Indiana competition will be? I'll make sure that I can work out at least two dates so that we don't end up with the competition on the same day. I'm leaning towards January 30, February 6, or February 20. I'm interested if the KOII people and/or Bryan can attend on those days.
I also want to know about timers. I have one timer with the data port and one stackmat, but no display. So Bryan/KOII people, would you guys be able to bring timers and displays and if so, should I get one or two extra?

I have 8 timers and 5 displays.
 
January 30th is the only possible date of those you mentioned that we might have one in Indiana. But I know Shaden can't make it that day, so we'll probably be going later than yours.

And we will almost certainly try to make it up for Chicago, as long as we don't have a schedule conflict.

Right now I have nothing planned for any of those weekends.

Assuming a major snowstorm doesn't prevent people from coming, I think the 6+5 displays/timers mentioned above is plenty.
 
I live in Indiana and if there's no conflict with a possible Indiana competition, I'd like to go and would be willing to volunteer also (but I can't guarantee.)
