US Nationals 2012 (Las Vegas)

[StachuK1992]

The hat is full. Stop spamming this thread with tosses for 2012, and if your excuse is "but I was talking about 201n where 10>n>3" then you're in the wrong thread. Thanks.

 

[caseyd]

so tyson, will there be more habeneros for entertainment and free cubes?

 

[shelley]

Habaneros? Child's play. Tyson has a bag of something much stronger.

And Stachu, I think you can go ahead and use the banhammer if anyone else tries to suggest locations for 2012.

Why not close this planning thread and start an official 2012 thread?

 

[IamWEB]

We should probably wait until more info is together and released to start that thread.
Usually when the thread is made there's a link to the website (and WCA page), which currently lacks almost all info.

Maybe once registration opens? Idk.

What more info could you want? The date and venue are already decided. We already know what events will be held. Hell, even the official hotel is known. You can probably imagine the schedule is similar to this year's.

Couldn't the title of this one just be renamed "US Nationals 2012" ?

 

[IamWEB]

All the more reason to open registration .
But yeah.

 

[Tim Reynolds]

We're not opening registration yet. A few reasons:

-We're still finishing up this year's Nationals.
-The schedule isn't finalized yet.
-Combined round cutoffs aren't decided yet, and how many rounds of each event aren't decided yet.
-We haven't worked out our budget yet.

The first point means we don't have time to deal with it yet. The second and third mean that people don't have enough information to register yet. The fourth one means we don't know how much we're charging.

It's a year away. What's the rush?

 

[iEnjoyCubing]

It seems that the hotel will only book so far in advance (I noticed that the rates are only up until January 2012). So will we have to wait until February to book the hotel (this is when August will be up), or will other arrangements be made?

Oh, and I lold when I saw the organizer.

 

[collinbxyz]

Ughh. Ya, unless I can convince my parents to fly me to Las Vegas, or to drive 36 hours, i doubt ill come...

Too bad i missed this years nats! And i think im going to ohio this weekend... :fp

 

[Julian]

Perhaps.

 

[Bob]

I heard that for 2012, 3x3 feet will cost more than every other event combined.

 

[Andrew Ricci]

Is there any chance that there will be unofficial competitions for events like Team BLD and Skewb? Maybe a poll for tentative events on the registration form?

 

[Mike Hughey]

I heard that for 2012, 3x3 feet will cost more than every other event combined.

So about the amount I was originally guessing it would be in 2010, then?

(I was sure it was going to be $100; I was shocked when it was only $10.)

I was thinking of trying it next year. D:

I still like Bryan Logan's idea of making feet a maximum of 8 competitors and have the price start at $100 and drop $1 a day. It essentially makes competitors complete a cost-benefit analysis.

If people will pay $100, we should probably take 12 or perhaps 16 competitors.

Why is there always so much hatred against feet? I never knew why competitions would have every event except feet, and now this. It can't be because of time, since 7x7 takes longer. Sorry for my lack of knowledge.

 

[DavidWoner]

I'm still surprised there wasn't a cutoff for feet this year, considering the relatively strict cutoffs for 7x7 and such. A 2:30 cutoff with maybe a 4:00 hard limit doesn't seem unreasonable, and should prevent people who have never done feet before from competing.

The event is disgusting. I still firmly believe that it should be removed from the WCA event list.
