wichita, kansas
I am a cuber that lives in wichita, kansas(USA). one thing that frustrates me is ,, there is no competitions in this state!!
The nearest competition to me is 200 miles away, and that is in Missouri! Is there any other cubers in the state that want the same?
If so, maybe we could schedule competitions..... in kansas at least?:fp
 
Wichita here too. Where do you guys go to guys got to school/work? That way we kinda know how close we are to each other..... I go to Southeast HS.

200 miles isn't that bad to travel if you're serious about a competition.

Over on Twistypuzzles, a bunch of people from Arizona found each other through CubingUSA and had a meetup. I see one person has signed up, but either they didn't validate their account or their filter marked it as spam.

anyway, I would suggest the rest of you sign up, that way other people from Kansas knows there's more than just one cuber, especially if they check a few weeks from now and this thread is buried.

The Missouri Open was only like 5 miles into Missouri. It was basically by KCI airport. I am from Overland Park, which is a lot closer, but you could easily come if we have it next year.

Thats nothing for a cubing competition. If your inside an hour, you can consider yourself blessed. Inside 4 hours is a definate go. Inside 8 is a maybe (for me). 12 and up is a no unless there are special circumstances, i.e. family members or National, or maybe worlds (fingers crossed).

Wow. After reading that I was curious as to how far I've traveled in the year I've been competing. In one year I've been to 9 competitions and racked up over 12,000 miles from traveling to cubing competitions. That means on average I travel about 1,300 miles per competition. Woah.

Plus, I just found out I'm going to the World Championship. That alone will add another 5,500 miles. :eek:

17,500 miles of traveling, all because of cubing. And I'm only 15. :p

Damn, I just realized I'm really spoiled.
I need to go thank my mom. :)

my mom won't even drive me to downtown!! ---- thats going to be some major convincing----
 
so that is all of the kansas cubers!!?!?!?! well #$%*, i was hoping to make a competition--- only 16 more cubers until it is moderately possible to have one :fp:(:fp
 
Me and Nick Li live in the south suburbs of KC, Kansas side. I would go anywhere in the midwest, and he might.
 
I live in Kirksville, MO (northeastern MO,) but there's a chance I could come to a KS competition. I'm roughly 3.5 hours from Kansas City and 4:15 from Topeka, so I could make it to either of those sites on a free weekend. Wichita would be harder though - it's a little over 6 hours, and I don't have my own license. My parents would look less favorably on going to a competition if it required getting a hotel room.

I'll keep following this thread though - I'm definitely interested in a KS competition if it happens to be one I can attend.
 
Kansas/Missouri/Nebraska Cubing

A topic was made over a year ago on the subject, but got only a little recognition. I live in northeast Kansas and noticed how few competitions there are around Kansas, Missouri, and Nebraska.

So I'm wondering how many people in the areas of Topeka or Kansas City would be interested in holding a competition at some point?

One of my friends, who lives in Topeka I believe, is trying to organize a comp in like June or something. Unfortunately there aren't any delegates in that immediate area. :/
