Tyson --
It sounds like you essentially want to have a separate "World"
Division/Competition that runs in parallel with the US Championships.
A question would be: do the top 24/16/8 overall competitors advance
to the next round, or do the top 24/16/8 US competitors advance
along with the top 24/16/8 "World" competitors?
I think it's a nice model, that of having a World Division along
with the US division ("this is a friendly sport, all nations are
welcome in the world of competitive speedcubing"). I'd just suggest
working out the details ahead of time and making them public, both
to competitors and to the media.
Awesome job, Tyson! Maybe you can make a career out of competitive
speedcubing. Heck, Bob Fox makes a living from competitive cup
stacking.
