Kentucky Speedcubers

...Also, they should change KOII to OII because of how few comps there are in Kentucky...

I am not amused...

There's alot into making one happen like: getting the place approved, getting the timers, and prizes.

...which may be why nobody has hosted one recently. Why do you expect that somebody else should be doing all of these things when you're not even willing to?

Other parts of the world are also more populated. The city I work in has almost double the population of the whole state of Kentucky.

You work in New York City?

I thought you were from New Jersey...

EDIT

Wait, I just realized they're right next to each other.

Shaden has been our Lexington organizer, but he will soon be moving out of state. I would be more than willing to organize one where I live, but it would be very out of the way and inconvenient, and thus would have very low attendance. If someone in Richmond/Lexington/Louisville or another larger/more convenient area were to organize one, we can handle the delegate, equipment, etc. It is not that I am unwilling to organize a competition, it is just that it would be very difficult to do so in a city where I do not live and have no connections.

Michael: If you're profile is still accurate about you living in Louisville, all you need to do is talk to Carson, Mike, Jim, etc (ie: other organizers and delegates) about some time frames / ask for help etc and most of your work would entail getting a venue. Schools and Libraries are probably going to be your easiest choices, and a good chance free. If for whatever reason a school or library doesn't have availability in the time you are looking for then you could always look at puzzle (or similar, such as game) stores, malls, etc.

You might have some issues organizing with a high school or college you aren't affiliated with, but you could always find somebody who goes to that school to help you out in that regard.

If you are that unhappy about a lack of competitions, step up and at least look for some venues. Once you find one then obviously you need to look at dates. I would avoid the same weekend as nationals, obviously, and also you'd want to avoid having it on the same weekend as a competition in the same area (so most certainly not the same weekend as another koii competition). Lastly, here is a competition guide on cubingusa so you can get more information about hosting a competition, etc. I'm not going to lie, when I hosted one, I talked to Mike and Jim about it a ton.

Lastly: If you do step up and organize one, if it's in Louisville and I'm available that weekend, I'll be more than happy to help out like I do at the other KOII competitions.

I been thinking of have cube meet up somewhere in the Louisville KY, New Albany IN, or Clarksville IN area. So who wants to join and find a place to meet. This is a good time to have one since its summer time and we don't have to worry about school.

[Michael Womack]

I'm thinking about doing a cube meetup soon. let me know if you want to do this. My spring break is the first week of April.

I want it somewhere in Louisville,KY.
