Speedcubing World Championships 2011 Date and Location

[Joël]

Oh please HONG KONG!!!! If it will be in Hong Kong I will take anyone (18+) to club Laguna and buy them a drink... They would freak out so much if I filled the place with cubers!! Because I cubed so often there...

Laguna?? Is that similar to crocus?

Anyway, bangkok also sounds quite allright... Somany things that are hard to get in Amsterdam are easier over there!!1!! lol!

 

[ishumprod]

come to switzerland !!

I think Hong Kong is possible.First of all,it is in Asia.It is near China and Japan which are active countries in cubing.They can come Hong Kong easily and that will cause more cuber to come.Also,Hong Kong is an international city,many people know how to speak in English,cubers from other countries will not worry about the language problem.Thirdly,there are some good venues that can hold a big competition such as some hotels etc.Fourthly,I think some companies which sells cubes are willing to sponsor the competition such as hknowstore etc.Fifthly,the transportation in Hong Kong is convenient.Finally,I think many cubers would like to come Hong Kong as it is famous in the world.They can visit Hong Kong and shopping through coming to wc11.

Fourthly,I think some companies which sells cubes are willing to sponsor the competition such as hknowstore etc.

I notice they don't even sell the Rubik's brand. So unless they're going to fund a lot where we don't need to depend on SevenTowns, it may not work.

Only Toys'r'us is allowed to sell it in Hong Kong.

 

[masterofthebass]

Either way, I doubt hknowstore is willing to shell out $50,000 to host worlds in Hong Kong.

come to switzerland !!

Ooh, the WCA has a president? Since when? Who is it?

 

[Hiero]

I heard the Big D in Jerry World.

They do have a nice TV up in Jerry World.

We are planning our holidays for next year and I want to be sure Faz can get to the next world champs. So even if the powers that be have not yet finalised a location, could we please get a good idea of the planned date? It would be absolute magic for us if it were held on the 1st and 2nd of October.

 

[Dene]

Well we are into WC year now. Time to start hassling Ron and co. for details!

 

[Reinier Schippers]

if it is in Thailand I'm a lucky guy. My parents decided to go to Thailand this summer so i might have a change to go there. But it depends on which date

 

[izovire]

I know asia would be a good spot for Worlds... It would be a good opportunity for me to do business travel and compete all at the same time... and my wife misses asia ... I miss asia.

It'd be good to get the comp. date & location announced soon...

 

[Ron]

More news to follow, hopefully very soon or at least within 2 weeks.

 

[cmhardw]

Yay! I hope it's in Thailand *waits patiently for news on location*

 

[amostay2004]

I really hope it's in Thailand too

 

[blakedacuber]

i do think euro is uite a fair place even though world's 09 were held there but not any countries require visas i europe and its fairly centeral for america and asia
but to go to the US you need a visa and a visa

 

[masterofthebass]

you have quite an ingenious argument there. 6 years of Worlds in Europe. Sounds like a great time.
