    There's alot into making one happen like: getting the place approved, getting the timers, and prizes. What I mean by getting the place approved is that finding what building I can have the Competition in.

    I know it's not easy, but why not at least look into it? There are definitely delegates that would come and I believe the delegate takes care of timers. I might be wrong about that though. Certain venues may do it for free even.

    The hardest part is finding the place that it will be in. For example, if you get a room with a capacity of 200 people and 150 people sign up and there will be very little room for them.

    If you're expecting 150 competitors to show up to any competition (apart from Nats, continental champs, or Worlds), you're crazy
    RPG (CFOP and Roux) - CubingStats
    WCA - CubingUSA - canadianCUBING - UKCA
    RPG and CubingStats can be useful, try them out!

    That would include the cubers, family, and friends I was just giving a theoretical number.

    Michael, if you host a competition, no matter how far away, I will come.

    That's still very high for any local competition, I'd expect more like 50-100 tops including spectators unless you're in a densely populated cuber area like certain parts of the coasts.

    The last Indiana competition had about 70 competitors; there were easily over 150 total people there. I'd guess there were a similar amount at New Albany last weekend. In areas where most of the competitors are not in college yet (which is generally true in the Midwest US), families tend to more than double the number of competitors.

    I do suspect a Kentucky competition would be likely to be a little smaller, though.
