jesus christ... you should look at the list of competition before you say anything. There's a competition in boston in 3 weeks.

There is a competiton in Manchester in 3 weeks. In England.

The reason is that, until Alex Mason and I started going to MIT, there were very few people in New England who cubed really. There were a few, but none of them were interested enough to hold a competition. The WCA doesn't pick where to organize competitions, it's individuals/groups who organize them and get it approved by the WCA.

MIT is in Cambridge, MA, which is basically considered to be part of Boston.

As for a competition in http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/New_England,_North_Dakota , I'm guessing the North Dakota Open would be in Grand Forks or Fargo....possibly Williston.

Yes, it would be a good first competition. There will be at least 60 people there and a lot of fast people. And a bunch of people you can meet and have fun hanging out with.

What problem do you have registering? That your name won't show up after you've registered? It doesn't appear automatically, the organizer has to confirm it and he isn't on 24/7.

well first i'm going to feel like a noob around all these crazy fast people. But i go to registration form and it says

Registration form
Please note that the purpose of the preregistration is not only to reserve you a spot in the competition, but also very importantly to give the organisers a good estimation of the number of people they have to expect. Please don't wait until the very last minute to preregister, otherwise the organisers might not be able to offer enough room, food, etc.
If you already have participated in an official competition, you can use the search function which will fill the information stored in the database. You can then fill the rest.

so i don't know what to do. I type me name in but it goes back to the same screen

If you plan to go to MIT, be sure to visit the Residence Inn where a lot of cubers like me are staying. Details in the appropriate thread.
