Possible Washington DC Open 2009

[chris410]

Once details are posted, I propose designate a meeting area so that we can introduce ourselves and, if there's interest get a group meeting going?

 

[ElderKingpin]

perhaps at the competition?

Sorry for the confusion, yes at the competition, we could designate an area once details are known so we can all introduce ourselves. If anyone wants to get some manner of meeting going we can throw that idea out as well in terms of a N. Va meet up group.

So wait, I honestly don't have the patience right now to read through all of the pages of this thread but, is this competition actually happening and if so what day?

The date is set for Jan 30th, location details are still being worked out.

 

[ElderKingpin]

any news?

 

[chris410]

Good question, and apologies to everyone for the deviation from the topic.

Hopefully, this is still going to happen.

We still continue to fail at getting a better venue, but at last we have decided to announce it. I have sent an email to Bob regarding it.

As it will soon say on the competition page (assuming it is approved), the number of competitors must sadly be limited to 35-45. Also, competitors must pay online, so act fast and reserve your spot!

In the meantime, we will still continue to try and find a better venue, but this will do for now.

Is there a website up already where we can register?

 

[Evan Liu]

There is not a website yet. We are still waiting for Bob to approve it, and help with other organizational stuff, including the website (i.e. check and reply to the email). I admire your eagerness though

Haha. Well given that you are limiting competitors I will certainly register as soon as I can. I look forward to returning to NOVA, my former home.

I think paying online could be a problem to many people.

 

[ElderKingpin]

only 35-45? agh.

 

[Evan Liu]

Update: Based on the size of the venue, we have decided that the total number of people can't exceed 70 (competitors and non-competitors). We will have a guest field on the registration page, to keep track of the total. This means we could potentially have 70 competitors, if there are no guests, though that would probably be unlikely. At any rate, competitors and guests have an inverse relationship: as one goes up, the other goes down.

 

[ElderKingpin]

is there any chance of a bigger venue?

 

[Evan Liu]

As I have said over and over, we are continuing our search for a bigger venue, so there is a chance. However, all the bigger venues we have looked at so far have turned us down for various reasons.

 

[ElderKingpin]

any idea what your venue's area is right now? i can think of a few places where there could be bigger venues.

 

[fanwuq]

I'll come. I plan to bring at least 2 friends who will compete.

 

[Carson]

Hmm... I have been thinking this over a little more and perhaps a 10 hour drive would be worth it. There will likely be a lot of cubers there that I am yet to meet in person.

 

[chris410]

Looking forward to this, I just hope I get on the list.
