I asked Gigabyte Germany today, so it should be clear if there will be some kind of competition in order to participate.
Invite only from what I can gather talking to Angela. They are inviting 2 Canadians, 3oh6 for a short period of time was both Canadian entries when I mentioned him to Angela :eek: Competition will be April 24th-25th in LA, not sure on the venue but I imagine it's the golf resort they keep shacking us up in.Quote:

Invite? Why not an open competition? If you can pay to travel to them I dont see why they would want to restrict it... Seems many other countries are open comps...Quote:

Contact gigabyte-USA and tell them this. I am just relaying what little info I gathered in a 3 minute conversation. Seems GOOC is improving every year, hopefully they'll keep funding it and standardize it globally. I personally don't think it's fair that they'll only be inviting 2 from USA when we have as many benchers as Europe combined.Quote:

WOw, only 2 invites for the US????
how do they make their selection?
+1 how unfair, this cannot be called a 'Championship' at all.Quote:

Wasn't it 4 total from the US last year?
Correct, but lets face facts and think about budget restrictions
How many people from Asia Pacific do you think will be going to Taiwan?
