Chicago Open?

[KevinK]

I am thinking about arranging a competition in the Chicago-land area. It would be at <del>Arlington Heights Memorial Library</del>Thomas Middle School. It is about a 20 minute drive from O'Hare airport. It would probably be on <del>January or February</del> February 6. I would like to know how many people would come and what day would be best to hold it.

I would come, I don't plan that far ahead. So right now any day would work.

 

[JackJ]

That would work, could we make it around the Valintines Day weekend? I will be in the area and would volunteer to judge. BTW, Kevin, we met at Cubetcha 2009.

 

[DavidWoner]

Clock and I am there.

 

[iSpinz]

Check me. I can help if you want. Probably before school starts would be preferable, but whatever

 

[anythingtwisty]

I'm there. (as long as it isn't on the days of ISSMA)

 

[jms_gears1]

NO not in jan or feb thats when indianas open is sposed to happen.
going from what mike said

 

[iSpinz]

Why isn't two comps in one month ok?

 

[JBCM627]

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...

 

[JackJ]

What weekend is it supposed to take place?

 

[Carson]

I don't see a problem with this and the Indiana contest clashing as long as there are a few weeks between them. You can't have TOO many contests...

 

[TemurAmir]

I can come if its on a weekend, preferably Sunday.

EDIT:Saturday's probably better for most people (i go to church too) but I have Saturday school that i have to go to. I might be able to skip that though

 

[TheMachanga]

Finally! YAY! Please make it a sunday. Not Saturday, SUNDAY!

 

[Cyrus C.]

Finally! YAY! Please make it a saturday. Not Sunday, SATURDAY!

Fixed


I won't be able to do anything on sunday, although I'm just one person.

 

[KevinK]

I wasn't aware of the next Indiana one. I don't have anything finalized yet, so I'll just make sure that there is some space between this competition and Mike's competition. I will probably attend the Indiana one, too; if there was a thread about it, then I must have missed it.

For those of you who are asking it to be on a Sunday or Saturday, I'm sorry but Saturday would probably be the most probable date for it to be. When I go to competitions, I usually get back home at about 11:30, and I like not having to wake up at 6:00 the next morning for school, and I'm sure that many people would agree with me. It would probably be a Saturday rather than a Sunday.

 

[iSpinz]

Yes, and some people go to church(please dont flame), so it probably would be best on Saturday.

 

[TheMachanga]

I can be Saturday IF its still winter break. I have some high school entrance exams on a Saturday, lets just hope its not the same on as the comp.

 

[iSpinz]

Which Saturday then? There are 8 Saturdays in two months.

 

[Bryan]

Which Saturday then? There are 16 Saturdays in two months.

Math fail!

I would say for a place like Chicago, you don't have to worry about enough people showing up.

Well, then do you think that I should get the room in the library that can contain a maximum of 90 people or the one with a maximum of 200 people? The difference is $10 for 90 people or $75 for 200 people, so it makes a big difference which room I decide to use.
