I'm posting this since it's been a bit less than a year since anyone has posted anything for Chicago/Illinois speedcubing.
Are there any cubers in the Chicago/Illinois area that would be willing to form a group? I noticed that there have always been posts about Chicago area speedcubing, but...
Is it worth my time to try and learn zz-ct if I'm sub 15 already? I'd like to be at least sub 15 with another method than CFOP, and I don't particularly like Roux. ZZ seems interesting, and I'd like to learn a subset that few people have become fast with.
So, I know this is kind of late, but are there any cubers that would like to meet up in the general Chicago suburbs area? I would be able to get a room suitable for maybe 2-3 more people to meet up. However, I can't do much for large-scale events.
You can use this website to find comps near you. :

There doesn't seem to be any right now, but there is a comp in dixon, Il planned for...
I haven't had much time to speak with my friends since the first few weeks of school have been so rough, but I'm thinking instead we would meet up at a comp, like bulldog or chicaghosts. I might be able to have a meetup on the 16th if you're not going to bulldog, but I don't really have any...
I am going to Bulldog cubing 2017, and will register for Chicaghosts 2017 tomorrow, so I definitely will try to talk to the organizers to find a venue and staff. Are you going to any of them?
Oh, ok, I thought that determining a competitor limit would help us find an appropriate venue, than, using the price of that venue, we could decide on the registration costs. Oh well, I've never hosted a comp before so I guess I was bound to make a mistake somewhere.
I'll start looking for a...
I still think that a one day comp would be easier to organize, and that having this many events would make a two day comp even harder to organize. For the event list, a one day competition could have around 6 events, so I'm thinking
3x3-2 rounds
2x2-2 Rounds
4x4-1 round
Skweb-1 round
Megaminx-1...
I think that hosting a smaller, one day competition towards the outskirts of Chicago, maybe the closer suburbs, would be easier to handle, since, correct me if I'm wrong, but I'm pretty sure no one here has hosted a competition before and a 2/3 day 150 competitor competition is a really big...
Assuming that we have lets say, a 100 competitor limit, and a $20 entrance fee, we will get $2000 worth of entrance fees, which should be enough to pay for the venue, and equipment, as kit Clement has stated. All we would have to do is find an affordable venue, decide on the events, and make a...
Chicaghosts 2017 was just announced, hopefully, we could go there to meetup and get some ideas on how to hold are own competition. The venue also is only 9 minutes away from me!
I agree with you, Chicago, while it is a big urban area and i'm sure there are many cubers, often gets ignored. I'm planning to get ahold of some of my friends and setup a cubing meetup somewhere around late August. I live around the Dupage/Cook county area. Anyone who is interested is welcome...
True, but you can only help but wonder, when will Feliks start losing steam, when will the newer, younger, and possibly faster generation of cubers (such as Max Park), start to catch up with him. Although, rethinking it, this probably won't happen for a long time, but it is best to get ready...
