2011 National Tournament: University of Wisconsin

I dislike the idea. I think it's great they're partnering with a good university, not much bad can come out of that, but I was hoping to go out west when I graduated to maybe help out with it. No offense, people from Illinois, but I go through your state several times a year and it's a bit... boring. Not much novelty value. I'm the sort of person that likes to travel.>.>

But from an unbiased standpoint, it's probably good for SO.

You can still help out with SO in the west; there are plenty of regional and state level competitions, just don't expect any SO National level competitions at least anytime soon.

and absolutely awesome! Honestly, if we make it, I wanna go as far away as possible. They seem to dislike the idea of having nats on west coast =/, so I'm going to settle for Wisconsin =P
It really sucks because I've never ever really traveled for science olympiad, since states for me is 45 mins away

I don't think I'd have a reason to go out west to help out with SO in the short term. I do know that as soon as I graduate I'm going to contact my regional coordinator to see what I can do to help.

I personally think it would be cool to do nationals in New York.It would be cool to visit. *Hides in the suitcase of a nats-bound student from a huge school* You all will have to tell me more about what its like later to compete at nats. Sounds epicly fun. *green with envy*

believe me, it's not that fun here.... The only semi-interesting part of NY is NYC, and I doubt they would be able to find a location large enough and willing to fit that many people on their campus on 1 weekend.

Cue upstate New Yorkers protesting your first point.
