Congratulations Teencuber on getting a sponsor and a delegate for your event! I've helped organize, fully organized and/or delegated a few competitions in the past and I can tell you that you are in for a very busy/stressful, yet very rewarding event! Definitely read the how to run a competition guide on cubingusa, definitely talk with your delegate and ask lots of questions! Don't feel bad if your delegate does a really significant portion of the organization on the day of the competition. Organizing a competition is great fun, but it's also a lot of work and can be very stressful at times. Having two people to help each other as organizers is a very good thing!

Good luck with your competition! Also, now that you have entered the realm of official competition, please monitor your announcements about the event. In particular make sure that you have secured your venue 100% and secured the day and time of the competition 100% before announcing this information publicly. Once you announce people will start to make travel plans, so be aware of that.

Have fun, and good luck with your tournament!

Hurray! Possible date?

And on a sidenote, am I correct in saying that a WCA profile would be made for me after I compete? If so, I basically just show up at the comp, compete, and my results will be uploaded?

I am not quite sure on that. I will email Bob and ask him that! And as for the date, that still has yet to be determined.

Yes, you will be required to register once you arrive at the competition. This information is used to create your WCAID and your profile will be created automatically once the organizers post the competition results.
 
I can't believe that Bob actually wants to go back to Atlanta to do a competition after US 2008. At least it won't be in the Underground again, right?

In all seriousness, I'd consider going to a comp out in Atlanta if it were a holiday/open weekend for me, I have a lot of family down there. For finding a venue, libraries are often good places to look. If they have a large enough meeting room, it could work out very well, and often for free. Doing some research on the AFPL shows they have many meeting rooms for free, but you will be unable to charge any registration fees. Here's the list on their website:

Definitely not underground Atlanta. I have been there, sketchy place in my opinion. But what happened in '08 that would make him not want to come back down? And thanks for the info! I will check that out for sure!!

Correction!!!! Chris Krueger is willing to delegate the event. Not Bob Burton. Sorry for all of the confusion and misinformation.

Please follow the link!!!

Ok so I will be leading the organizational team for this competition with Chris Krueger delegating. Ellis Bowler (teencuber) will only be assisting Chris and I when it comes to organization. No further details are decided as of yet, but it IS going to happen sooner or later.

I'll have more details soon when I talk to Chris Krueger in more detail.
