    Well, I don't know any personally but I do know there are several pretty good cubers around the area. All of my cubing friends, though, are from other cities.

    well at least they can solve it in the first place.... I'm the only sub 30 (or 25 for that matter ) cuber in my area... nobody to compete with because I can out match the other two serious speedcubers that I know of by about 10 seconds...



    Hmmm... I just realized how much I use the "..." thing... LOL! I just used it again... darn I did it again. I gotta get out of that habit

    lolwut? There has been only one official Canadian competition in the west coast, the 'Vancouver Open Summer' last year. The only Canadian WCA delegate lives near Toronto, so that's why almost all of the Canadian competitions are there.

    yea,, me to but i doubt there is going to be a comp in winnipeg for a while
    Minnesota might be your closest option. And there's always the possibility of a North Dakota Open

    Well, there's nothing yet. But it wouldn't be out of the realm of possibility if someone was interested in a competition over there. I have relatives in ND, so I go through there anyways. Plus, I keep track of competitors ZIP code, so I would know if I'm pulling a lot of people from western MN, they would probably easily go to a competition in Fargo or Grand Forks. I would need to see a lot of interest in western North Dakota before I held a competition there, but that actually would be quite easy, I would just worry about getting 12 competitors.

    I like to joke that North Dakota will probably have a competition before Chicago

    But for now, the Minnesota competition is the closest and does exist. So if you wanted to go to a competition, that would be your best bet. Just convince your parents to vacation in the Twin Cities, and spend a day to go down to Rochester (it's about an hour drive from the Twin Cities).
