Washington DC Open 2010

Sorry for reopening this thread. I sent an e-mail to the organisation team of DC Open 2010, but I did not get a reply.

I will be in Washington DC from June 12 until June 18.
It would be great if we could organise a competition on Sunday June 13. I am very willing to organise this if someone could arrange a venue and bring some additional timers.
I am also interested in meeting some local cubers. Staying near the Gaylord National convention center.

Have fun,

Ron
 
Just got back home from AP exams :(

I would love to do this again, especially since our previous competition was cut short by the snow. We will try to get the DC Open '08 venue (our school). It has a small cost, and we need a faculty sponsor, which we had last time, but the place itself was not available. According to the school events calendar, it should be free on June 13. If we can't get it, we will try to find another different venue.

June 13th works for me...the following weekend I will be at Virginia International Raceway for a 2 hour endurance race. Keep us posted, I can help set up/judge.

It's not in DC... it's pretty close to the venue we were at earlier this year; as it says on the WCA page for DC Open '08, it's tjhsst.
I know you want it in DC; if you can find a venue, we can help do the rest, but we're also going to try to get this one.

Unless you know someone, DC would probably be both expensive and difficult to obtain. That and parking/traffic makes Virginia a bit easier.

Sounds great. It is only 12 miles from my hotel.

I can bring timers. Now we just need an organizer.

Bob, I will always love you.

Like I said, I can be the organiser, but it sounds like we already have a nice team. So if someone can get the venue we have a competition.

Btw. I have a big hotel room, so I could host at least one person on Saturday night.

@Kian, the week before that you have a competition in Ohio. Do you have a life? ;-)

We're still in the process of getting a/the venue, and have some questions:
Would it be ok to have it in a pavilion in a park (outdoors as opposed to indoors)? The tent/roof will serve as enough of a covering should it rain.
How loosely is the one-month rule written? We definitely won't get the venue and all before tomorrow is over, which is one month before the competition. I have seen a few competitions which have been announced after that deadline.
Does anyone else know of good venues? We have a lot of choices in mind, but the more the merrier; moreover, we don't have to be the only ones searching, and if someone else finds a venue first, that would be great, and we would still help out with everything else :)
