Hey guys... just from reading, I have a few ideas. I may be from a rookie team, but I have competed in a competition sort of like this before.
First off, I think that multi nationals take something away from it, I mean, not only are you there to compete, but to meet people from all around North America, if you have multi nationals I think it takes away from the non-competitive aspects of the competition.
Ok, as for venues, has anyone ever thought of Universities. I know U of Tennessee, Maryland and Iowa have all hosted intellectually geared competitions before. I think it's also really good for teams without a lot of money(I know being one of those teams) that if they arent hosting classes, they can conceivably set up a package so that competitors can stay in dorms. Not to mention, being at a university makes transportation a lil easier because many have transportations systems set up already.
Anyway, that's my idea. And oh, just wanted to say the last time I was at Disney for a competition of this magnitude... well, bus-ing from place to place was... fun... because they werent able to antipate needs and kinda didnt have enough buses. Not saying that it will happen, but if you do end up there... be prepared for it, just in case.
Not to mention... Florida's HOT and being from Canada well, we arent too used to that.. the humidity and night heat is just not fun.
Anywayz, good luck everyone!
