Speedcubing World Championships 2011 Date and Location

[cmhardw]

As has been mentioned in the past every time there is a big competition, please realize that posts of the form:

Please hold the competition in XXXX

are completely pointless and do not contribute to the discussion whatsoever. If you are thinking about suggesting a location, please also put some work into explaining why your choice of venue is good for hosting a World Championships, which specific venue is to be used to host the event, and which team/volunteer organization/group is to assist in judging. If your post does not at least provide a rough answer to all three of those questions, then don't post it.

Posts of "hold Worlds in my backyard cuz it's close to my house! " are not funny, and also they get old really quickly. I'm not saying don't suggest a location, but if you are going to suggest one, please put some thought into it first.

The U.S has an obviously large speed cubing community with many groups. However, China has the second most active speedcubers. Also Japan is 3rd. It makes sense it should be there.

there's no possible way to hold it in china. They don't like letting people in their country.

And just before someone says it, the WCA isn't going to be getting the same treatment as the Olympics.

Bali is great place to held an event like World Championship

I just think that, regardless of how much input the general speedcubing community has, when the time comes to decide upon the date and venue for the championships, the discussion should be held in in open forum, like here.

unless you are organizing it, I don't think it concerns you. The decision on where to hold it is largely a business decision from seven towns, as they are paying a huge amount of money to run the competition. The input of someone going "ooo ooo hold it in my backyard" is not going to make any difference to them, nor should it. I think Ron is quite capable of realizing which spots would be preferable to hold the WC, but as the case with last year, its not always practical to hold it where someone thinks it should be held.

Public discussions just create a lot more work. You can't throw out a simple idea without people who have no ability to help keep pushing the idea and they can't accept "No" for an answer. Plus, if you're negotiating with people, you don't want them to be able to see your other options.

LMAO yes because we all care about your opinion. Could you imagine if they held a public discussion every time they were deciding on the next country to host the Olympics? :fp

World Championships 2011 location

Hi, i have been thinking that whoever is organizing the WC2011 should think of a location for next years competition. I think it would be suitable for it to be in the US because the last time it was there was 2003 (i think) in Florida. Maybe California would be a good idea because there are many cubers there. Europe would be a good choice because there are a lot of cubers there. Give your ideas, and hopefully the organizers can find a place.

a location for this years competition

?????????

 

[Faz]

And I think it should be in New Zealand because it has never been held there. >_>

@ bluecloe45:
I respect your choice to create a thread about the WC location, seeing as how the other thread was focused more on the date of the competition. However, I would rather combine the two threads with a rename than have two separate threads.

I think WC should be held in the former world champion's country... that would be cool.
