Hello,
I have a couple comments/questions about some competition stuff. First off, the "US Open" idea. I'd like to talk about this more and see if we can really make it happen. Basically, since US Nationals is once every 2 years, maybe we can create a "US Open", which will alternate with US Nationals. This will allow any US cuber to compete at least once a year. With this, we can also continue to have the Worlds once every 2 years. For those people who can't afford the Worlds, they can compete yearly in their home country. For the people that may miss the US Nationals, they can compete the following year at the Open, etc. I just think that as it is right now, one event every 2 years (or yearly if you can afford Worlds+Nationals) is not enough. There are pros and cons to this idea, but I think there are more pros than cons. With the growing number of cubers, I think we should give it a try. We can always just try it for a year or two, and see what happens. I think that if we could make this happen, we will have plenty of support from fellow cubers to do this. I, personally, will help in any way possible. I can build the webpage, setup details, etc. Let me know what you all think of this. If you support, or oppose the idea, please reply here with your thoughts so we can sort this idea out.
Secondly, I wanted to ask for some details about the 2007 Worlds. First off, when, and where will the event be held? I have heard some minor details, but I want to confirm them. I am considering going, and I want to start planning it out, and saving up if I decide to go. If you have any information on it, please let me know. Thanks
