US Nationals 2012 (Las Vegas)

Lol, it certainly is but Dan said "international" where it would have been more correct to say "competitors from outside of North America." That has always been our policy.

Intercontinental*

It has been customary that international competitors do not need to pay registration. I would send an e-mail to the organizers to confirm that is still the case.

Thank you Dan, I emailed the organizer

Wow Kirt, good luck. Hope you get a sub 10 average
Just going for a holiday and saw this was on the way?

How do you pay? I've created my registration and have looked around the site but haven't seen anything/received an email.

Thanks Tim, at the moment we're still planning it out

When you submit your registration (you may have to resubmit), a paypal button pops up at the bottom of the page.

I liked the psych sheet better when I was supposed to win multiple events for a few months

I remember reading something about a discount, if you have a WCA promo code to let them know that you're from the USNats party. Is that true, or am I just making it up?

You're being too broad. A discount for what?

I was being broad because I couldn't remember for what exactly But yeah, that's it. Thanks, Brady.

So my mother called both numbers on listed on the website (in the Travel section). Both times, she waited through being on old with advertisements playing until suddenly, the call ended. Never got through to anyone. We'll try again later, but is anyone else having trouble getting through to reserve a room?
August 3-5 is fast approaching o.o

 

[antoineccantin]

I might be going. Registration is a lot though, its too bad that Canada doesn't count as International...

Why are international competitors free? Just so that national competitors can pay more.

 

[fastcubesolver]

I was able to reserve my room the first time through.

do you know the cost of flying to the US from another country

Not only what Kirt said, but it also endorses international competitors. How would you like it if you had to pay an extra $100 for registration? I'm not sure what flight from Australia are, but I'm pretty sure they're not cheap.

Yeah... What I heard from my mom plus a quick google search is that it's $1200ish.

If this is any consolation, you can't win Nationals if you are an international competitor. Thus, if you go for free you can't win first place. Good example is that Breandan Vallance actually had the faster average at 2011 Nationals but Dan Cohen won 1st place because Breandan is from the UK.
