CubingUSA Nationals 2018 - Salt Lake City, Utah (July 27-29)

That skyline sure matches Salt Lake City, Utah! I would know since I've lived 40 minutes away from it or in it for 16 years... :)

To be real, though, it has the specific shape of the state capital and the Salt Lake City Temple, which are very unique buildings.

Also, the Salt Palace would make sense, since it is one of the biggest expo centers in Salt Lake City. It is also right by City Creek Food Court, which would be nice. The Salt Palace would great place to have Nats! (I've been there before )

Do you have any thoughts, Underwatercuber? (since your from Utah...)

Now I want to know whether that earlier screenshot was doctored, or the story was simply made to claim it was doctored to try to put the cat back in the bag. :)

The event isn't listed on their website now, and as far as I'm aware, nobody in CUSA reached out to them to tell them to take it down if it were even there in the first place.

What seems to have happened is that some delegate found out the location via the new competition form, as US Nats was an unnanounced competition, and another delegate poked around for those dates and saw it as a nearby competition. Other delegates not part of CUSA knew because of this, and I think some delegate who saw the info spilled the beans, which led to people creating the false image. As Kian said, we don't deal with them as the World Cube Association, we are CubingUSA, and our contract is for four days, not three, so it's not even sensible for that doctored image to be real.

Me and my friends are all thinking salt palace would be a good place but there are lots of other venue options which would all be great choices :) I am excited to see where it is.
