Oh? Yeah kinda sorta, haha. I made 13th at Nats this year (better than 16th last year), so I won an invitation to the World Championship. But they cut the number of paid invitations in half this year, since Hawaii is so much more expensive to get to, so I didn't get any money to get me there like last year. The cheapest flight tickets we could find was 900$ a person round trip. So with the three of us that would be 2700$ x_x
Then you've got the hotel (expensive), food (expensive), and transportation from our hotel to the event site (expensive).
...
Just wasn't worth it.
But it'll be back in San Diego in 2011, so that will be much more reasonable to get to!
