7 years ago So how this would be done, would be to have each delegate assign where they currently live, or a known city/town close by, or the region of the country they live in (depending on their preference of privacy). This should be fairly easy to do, since the American delegates already have their state assigned.
We actually already have that, it's just that the information is not displayed publicly :)
That could be nice and not that hard to implement; maybe on a different page to avoid loading the map if you just want the list.

Hi, so recently I thought of an idea that would make it easier for new organizers/organizers who live in an area without any competitions.
So my proposal would be, to at the top of the delegates page have a map of all delegates, like the map of competitions, so they could find the closest delegate for their competition. Because in some cases it could be better to get a delegate in a different country rather than in your own. Let’s look at some examples, disclaimer all of these are going to be about nordic countries. Example 1, some time ago, Sweden only had two delegates (now they three), and both lived in stockholm, so if there would have been a competition i Malmö (Sweden’s third largest city) it would have made more sense to ask a danish delegate living in Copenhagen. That would be about 500 kilometers difference!. Example 2, two years ago there was a competition in Luleå, if that were to happen again today it would make way more sense to get the Finnish delegate in Oulu, instead of one of the two in Stockholm, that would be over 600 kilometers difference!
So how this would be done, would be to have each delegate assign where they currently live, or a known city/town close by, or the region of the country they live in (depending on their preference of privacy).
