Without including National, World, or other big competitions, how far would you travel to compete? OK, also make the assumption that they have the events you want to compete in.

Myself, I would probably travel 5-6 hours at the most.

I'm going to Denver next week, and I'm in Pittsburgh. That's about a 6 hour flight. It's going to be so worth it though...

I'm curious as to why you're flying to Denver....with all the competitions on the East Coast, it's hard to see why you'd get a flight out there.

I'd probably go about 5 hours or so for a competition. Anything longer, and I would have to take vacation time and do something with the family while I was there.
 
I wouldn't mind travelling for more than 8 hours, but then hopefully it would be a two day competition. That way you can stay and have fun with other cubers in between competition.
 
I don't think I would fly anywhere except if it was a big competition, but I did drive to the MN open from Indiana which take about 9 hours, although I do have friends there. I also went to the US OPen last year in Chicago which took about 2.5 hours, and I hope to go to Cincinnati this year which takes about 4.5 hours
 
If it was during time off from school like spring break I would definintly travel at least a day or out of state for a competition. But since I have school I would probably only do local or state stuff since all I have is weekends.
 
I would go anywhere in New Zealand. If it wasn't in the South Island, I would fly, and because a flight would take no more than an hour, I'm gonna say 5 hour drive to get to the top of the South Island.
