🇺🇸 Kentucky, Ohio, Indiana, Illinois USA

[Bryan]

Like the Canadian Cubing website, I'm trying to setup a site for US cubers for the purpose of specifically organizing competitions. Having a competition on the coasts is really easy, but us in the middle have more work.

 

[Mike Hughey]

Illinois, Kentucky, Ohio: 3 of the four states surrounding Indiana. We got Mike, Isaac, and me, couldn't we be included?

I agree - it seems weird that you did a U-shape around us. I'd like us to be included.

Jim and Bryan being on this thread is a big bonus - you've already got two delegates!

It's a force of habit... I was a "marching band" guy for quite a few years, and I suppose I still think geographically in relation to that. There were a lot of joint ventures involving Ky, Oh, and Il.

Indiana is A-OK in my book. You guys are welcome to participate.

I'm trying to keep track of who is interested and who is just asking questions.
If you are truly interested, please sound off. Include your:

1. Real name
2. Where you live (City AND state... or Southern KY, Northern OH, Near Dayton will be fine)
3. Age
4. Are you a WCA delegate?
5. How far would you be willing to travel for a competition... on average.

 

[Mike Hughey]

1. Real name: Mike Hughey (imagine that)
2. Where you live: Fishers IN
3. Age: 46 (I win!)
4. Are you a WCA delegate: no
5. How far would you be willing to travel for a competition: several hours - depends on the events (farther if big cubes BLD are included)

 

[JBCM627]

1. Name: Jim Mertens
2. Live: Cincinnati, OH
3. Age: 20
4. Delegate: Yes
5. How far I'd travel: This really depends. 6-8 hours would be about my driving limit, at which point it becomes more practical and often more cost effective and time efficient for me to fly. Maybe I'd take a bus. But I'd be willing to go just about anywhere if I had enough money.

 

[pcharles93]

1. Charles Huynh
2. Liberty Township
3. 15
4. No
5. Have to discuss with my parents and also depends on time of year.

 

[ShadenSmith]

I could probably set us up a venue here in Lexington. I'm pretty close with our city's school superintendent, and they're very friendly towards cubers. We're actually doing a program incorporating cubing into public schools, so I don't see an issue with them letting us use a school (or more realistically, portion of).

1. Phil Thomas
2. West Lafayette, IN
3. 17
4. no
5. 4-5 hours depending on if my parents let me

Oh poor Chester, our adopted Kentucky son. Maybe we will make him sing "My Old Kentucky Home" at the next contest.

KOII organizes contests in Kentucky, Ohio, Illinois, and Indiana. We are currently working on Chicago and Indianapolis contests. We do have plans to bring another competition to Kentucky (likely in the Lexington area) in the spring, but we unfortunately have no details to hand out as of yet. We will post info as soon as we have it.

Sorry, guys, but I NEED to bump this thread.

Was this whole Tri-state Club idea followed through? I'd enjoy attending a cubing club. I've never been to one.

EDIT:

1. Kellon Olusola
2. Owensboro, KY
3. 18
4. no (I wish)
5. Maybe... 1.5 hours. 2 hours max. My parents run a tight shift.

Also, if might be helpful for you guys to know that I'm going to college in, like... tomorrow, so of course we need to do some scheduling to target breaks, right?

EDIT 2: And could there be a website or something for the club at some point?

 

[FatBoyXPC]

It's not just a Tri-state club, it's actually been expanded to 4 states: KY, OH, IL, IN.

Website: http://koii.cubingusa.com

I'm pretty sure at US Nats this year I heard word of an Indianapolis (Fishers, actually, but it's basically Indianapolis) competition and an Ohio competition (chances are that'll be Columbus or Dayton).

Where do you plan on attending college?

There is a comp in Fishers on November 5th. Visit the website for more info. And interesting news on the Ohio comp. Any idea when it will be?
