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.

ok thanks
 
Is the KOII still a thing? I saw a couple people with shirts at the Holy Toledo comp but didn't get a chance to talk to any of them.

Just asking because all the posts everywhere are pretty old by now. I'm from Ohio and looking for more competitions/hangouts to attend.

Thanks

Is KOII a thing? Yes - in the sense that we are still a group of people hosting competitions in the KOII region and nearby areas. However, things have gotten significantly less active recently, as many of our delegates/organizers have moved. As a result, almost all KOII competitions are now in the northern part of the region, that being the northern parts of Illinois and Ohio, Indianapolis, and southern Michigan. Kentucky's lacked an active organizer for quite some time. We'd like to start hosting competitions in southern Ohio/Kentucky, but have not received many requests from any potential and responsible organizers. I'd love to do some more traveling for delegating competitions - I'd just need to make sure that any potential organizer has a solid proposal for a competition.

If you're looking for more competitions close to Ohio, you can consider coming to Michigan May Madness - it's only about 40-50 minutes north of Toledo.
