The WCA is not "declared" as a non-profit organization... sorry.

Possible free(or cheap) venues:

• Schools (May require that you take out insurance for the comp date, but this will likely be VERY cheap.
• Libraries
• Churches
• Community Centers (YMCA, VFW, Boy/Girl Scouts)
• Taco Bell

Tried schools($500)
thried libraires($500 for profit, free for non)
Chruches(good idea)
Community Center(not big enough)
Taco Bell(Yum)

A church would work, but it might be kind of odd having a puzzle competition where religious gatherings are held.

If it were at a church, I don't think it would be in it's sanctuary.

I just mean it would be weird having it in the same building.

Our Lady of Good Counsel Church would work very well. They have a large basement with good lighting.

Nebraska Open, all 4 MN Opens, Cubetcha, Marietta 2010, Italian Championship 2010,
Pleasantville Fall 2007.

I've never had anyone complain that the competition is held in a church. I've looked at science museums and schools, and they just never work out. It's much easier (and cheaper) to get a church than other venues.

I also looked that up. The social hall at OLGC church will work fine.

Lots of churches have a gym or recreational area that is detached from the main building...

Yeah. OLGC has a basement or "social hall". It is nice and large with good lighting.

I'm waiting on a call from a church but I'm not sure if they'll be onboard they sounded hesitant for some odd reason. But I'm really working at this, just haven't had alot of time to update this thread alot.

 

[TheCubeMaster5000]

I'm going to be gone Sept. 9-13, and 22-30........

 

[Eppley12]

me and my 2 friends wouldn't miss it for the world!
This is august 2011 right?

 

[Anthony]

Uh, just fyi, I found out I was accepted to Hillsdale yesterday, so I'm Michigan bound. I won't be there for 9 months, but we've gotta' spark a Michigan cubing scene

Nope, this was planned for this year and it just never materialized.
However, you could contact some of the others in this thread and maybe there will be a competition there next August.

 

[bgcatfan]

I've never been to a competition. But seeing as I'm living in Ann Arbor right now, I'd be very happy to attend a competition in Michigan. =)

i just created a cubing club at skyline. i live in ann arbor and i would love to have a competition this year. maybe we could see if theres a group of people that would like to plan one? i can ask my club at the next meeting.

 

[Eppley12]

Anthony, when you do come to Michigan, do you think you will be holding any comps? I myself have never been to one. I live in Port Huon, MI. I may however be going to nationals, but that's probably the only comp i'll ever go to if none pop up somewhere in Michigan. Unfortunatley there has only been 1 Michigan comp ever, and that was a few weeks before I started learning about competiotions, in fact, before I knew about competitions I would google "rubiks cube conventions" because I was dumb!

 

[Boxcarcrzy12]

Hey guys, I'm back from the dead here. And I'm back trying to make this work. I'm not 100% sure on alot of details at this point and wasn't very well prepared last year, being as it interfeard with my football schedule. But I'm going to try and get this thing up and running.

 

[Yuxuibbs]

If its during summer vacation, I will go no matter what. I could try and help (look at previous post for more info). Right now I am aiming for a school competition for my club around May just so everyone (including me) can see kind of what it feels like to be in a competition. I might try to contact them and ask them to go to the competition if we have one this year so we actually have some people. Right now it is very boring because they don't feel like learning F2L and they average around 70 seconds while I average around 30.

 

[asportking]

I'll see if I could make it (I live way up in da U.P, where there are never competitions), but I probably won't know for sure until the exact date comes out.

 

[gbcuber]

This is exactly what I have been waiting for, I live in Michigan but I never heard of a comp here
