Dallas Open 2011

[Hiero]

I think every 4 months is good. It gives enough time to improve and work on things. One over the summer would be nice so it doesn't interfere with school. I think maybe some other people who couldn't travel because of school would be able to make it. Anyway, Dallas is perfect for me.

Dallas or austin works for me because I live near Austin and have relatives near Dallas that I visit 4-5 times a year. I stayed with them during the competition last weekend

If anyone has my 14 OH solve or my epic fail 2x2 average on video upload it please. Thanks.

This is why you need a designated camera operator .

I've only got a couple of random solves of yours myself, so I doubt I have it. By the way, someone put most or all of your 3x3x3 finals solves on YouTube. I'll go find it you wanna see it.

I'm already getting excited for a summer comp.
That would be so awesome. After going to this one, I just can't wait to go to another.

Why not San Antonio? or Houston? I have family there that may be able to help with venue ideas.

Get (or get someone to get) a venue and it could happen.
Other places are being considered because that's where the organizers are. Things were easier when we had a central Texas delegate .

So this was the solve I Tim Major'd his cube on.

I tried to not look super happy in the pic .

Err, MY LIKE IS SO COMPLETE.

Lets move this to a brand new thread!

Personally I wish the WCA would have more of a hand in organizing competitions around the U.S. instead of relying on high school kids to do it, but I know other people might disagree.

I think you overestimate the WCA. It's not a giant organization with tons of funding. It's a very small group of people that host the webserver, keep track of stats, write the regulations, and make sure they're enforced.
