Speedcubing World Championships 2011 Date and Location

[coinman]

Might this have something to do with the many asian knock-of cubes? After all, seven towns is interested in selling there own cubes and if they don't sell good at all in asia they might find a waste of money to do a championship there.

 

[Fire Cuber]

Unfortunately it all depends on the sponsors and from what I hear they simply don't want it in Asia.

yes sponsors not us

 

[marthaurion]

I'm not gonna lie...worlds being in asia would definitely be sweet

 

[BC1997]

It should be organised in a continent close to every one like Europe.

OMFG. Do you people just like not read.

Nothing you say is going to really matter. Where its at depends on the sponsor who will be paying for it.
Plus wtf is with the stupid BACKYARD posts...

Gah.

 

[TheMachanga]

I was in it was in the U.S this day in age, , I predict 500+ cubers going.

(Not saying I want it their, I'm just saying)

 

[xdaragon]

Atlanta!!! That would be nice

 

[waffle=ijm]

wow people are still saying that it should be held in their backyard...

 

[StachuK1992]

Personally, if I'm going to spend my moniez going somewhere for this, Australia and Poland would both be top on my list.
But really guys, it's up to the WCA.

No way, Worlds 2011 should totally be held in my living room on my couch in front of the TV.

Seriously though, as has been stated many times before a big competition like this: DO NOT just suggest a location, because "holy crap, that would be awesome if it were held in (insert town close to my home)!!!eleven!"

If you list a location, please also provide:
1) An organizational team or group that would be willing and able to run the competition
2) A venue
2a) lodging local to the venue, as well as food and other sites that would be neat to see when people want to play tourist
3) Ease of transportation to the venue, as well as around the area of the venue during the competition

Posts of "LOL hold it in XXXX, that would be so sweet!" Are not, and will never be, considered seriously by anyone who has any power of decision over where the larger competition is to be held.

Well said Chris.

I dont know of any organizations in Malta but a venue like our stadium is good thats were everything happens and there are alot of sights in malta

 

[04mucklowd]

I dont know if you could even fit 300+ people on Malta...

 

[BC1997]

haha i do admit its pretty small but you have to get the people in like 10 seperate hotels

 

[Godmil]

For ease of access Amsterdam would be a decent location, it's got a massive airport that most locations will fly to, and the city is pretty close to the airport. Also several languages (including English) are spoken there.
Only problem would be... it's a pretty grotty city (sorry to any Dutch cubers, but it is)

 

[HaraldS]

Worlds can be anywere... exept Hungary srsly

 

[Yes We Can!]

I sincerely hope it's gonna be in Europe. If it is, I will most likely be there.

It should be organised in a continent close to every one like Europe.

The World... basically... it's round.

 

[BC1997]
