Competition in Jordan?

[doofesh]

Hi, does anyone know if there will be a competition in Jordan(middle east)?There have never been any competitions there.Also, do you know someone who is responsible for making competitions i could talk to? Thanks

You could organise one for yourself. Try the official WCA wiki for information on organising competitions.

There isn't much activity in the Middle East, which means: Start it!
The reason there are competitions elsewhere is because people started cubing and holding competitions themselves. New countries like Thailand and Indonesia did this very successfully. There is no reason this can't happen in Jordan, but it needs to start with someone. To answer your question: There is no one responsible for this yet. But it could be you; you seem to care.

Bob's guide is a pretty good guide to running competitions, if you think you're up to it.

I have quite a few (distant) relatives in Jordan, so if anything happens, I'd love to hear about the progress.

I can't do it

I've read the WCA Wiki page and the competitions page on cubewhiz.com, I found out that I can't do this on my own. I need help from others but no one is interested in making a competition.

Possibly a delegate?

 

[doofesh]

1. I can't find any judges/Scramblers.
2. I can't get stackmats because each one costs around $20.
3. I can't do it on my own.
4. School starts in 2 days.

I contacted the WCA delegates numerous times but they never reply.
