Competition in Chicago?

[marthaurion]

so...i still want the competition to happen...all i need is a date, then I'll propose it to WCA
Also, doing it in January may not work, because it gives me like 2 weeks to work on most of this stuff after i get back from vacation

I will ask my dad what time would be best for him. We were going to Chicago anyway sometime next year to tour Chicago University. Once I get feedback from him, I will fill out the poll.

I would compete in 2x2, 3x3, OH, 4x4, 5x5, 6x6, pyraminx, megaminx, magic, master magic, clock, and skewb if they make that an official event. I don't expect you to hold all these events at the competition, but these are just events that I would most likely compete in if you had them.

Remember, I'm still not sure if I can even go yet.

Anything but the 19th would work for me.

 

[marthaurion]

I'm not sure if I want to do clock or skewb...maybe if enough people want it
I'm considering megaminx

I have something in February (solo music performance). I don't know when it is, but the week before and maybe even the week before that are mandatory rehearsals. First week of March?

 

[Rubiks560]

Just some advice, I don't think the 19th would be great.....because there is gonna be a competition in MN the 20th. And i'd say it would probably attract more people then chicago. But I guess it is possible for people to go to both.....

 

[marthaurion]

the 19th doesnt seem to be working for a lot of people, anyway...it looks like most people want it in january

Is early March available?
And what will you be calling it? Chicago Open 2011 or Chicago Winter 2010, (which gives the possibility of a Chicago Spring and Summer and Fall)?

 

[marthaurion]

I don't know about pushing it back so far...
and i was just gonna call it University of Chicago Open or something

Yes. Previous competitions in the same vicinity without a sub-year identifier is one of the main things for determining if another competition can be held. :fp

Ic, then early January is fine.
I'm not digging the name, but it's fine.

im trying to determine whether or not that is sarcasm...im guessing it is

o... well i guess we can't have a competition then. No good name = no competition.

 

[cubemaster13]

I would say the later the better. I could not go to the last Chicago comp. because of bad road conditions.

There were bad roads for Cat & Mouse?

I said "It's fine"

 

[marthaurion]

i think that having the competition in january lets me justify another in spring...hopefully

 

[marthaurion]

So, it's looking like January 22...if that's a good date, I'll probably want to get it confirmed very soon

 

[TheMachanga]

It's good for me, lets hope it's good for others too.

Oh, I think they're talking about setting up a competition in Champaign-Urbana (University of Illinois), IL on January 29. Might it not be better to postpone the Chicago one for a month or two? I think the U of I competition is already very far along in planning.
