I don't live near Portland so no. That site lists all competitions that are currently planned.

I have a question about the FMC regulation.
>E3) The competitor may use the following objects during the attempt. Penalty for using unauthorised objects: disqualification of the attempt (DNF).
>E3c) Coloured stickers (self-supplied).
It says we can use "colored stickers" for FMC competition. But what kind of stickers we can use is not mentioned in this section.
I used a kind of post-it in WC 2013, after questioning to the judge if I can use it and being permitted.
Can I use a kind of post-it in FMC competition?
(I used exactly this one. http://www.amazon.co.jp/住友スリーエム-3M-ポスト・イット-ジョーブ透明見出し-683MH/dp/B000IGOFAW)

Well, why not?
And didn't a world championship judge already tell you that you can?

Thanks for your quick reply.
I worried about the possibility that it is not allowed but the judge's interpretation is different from the official one.
I'll use it in future competition checking to the judge.

Maybe I needed to present more information about it.
The expression "colored stickers" is also used in 3d)
>3d) Puzzles must have coloured stickers, coloured tiles, or painted/printed colours.
>3d3) Stickers/tiles/textures/paint must not be thicker than 1.5 mm, or the generally available thickness for non-cube puzzles.
If the "colored sticker" in E3) refers to this, big post-it may be illegal because of 3h).
>3h) (omitted) Modified versions of puzzles are permitted only if the modification does not make any additional information available to the competitor (e.g. identity of pieces), compared to an unmodified version of the same puzzle.
So there's a claim that it might be illegal. I want to know how other cubers think about it.

Colored sticers is for tracking pieces in FMC. If you use post-its instead of stickers, that gives you no further advantage - therefore, you can use them as well.
Article 3) is talking about stickers on the puzzles, not the additional stickers for FMC.
EDIT: But you are right, I think we should change the regulation E3c) and put "post-it" as well.

I would consider both Michigan and Missouri as midwest states with upcoming competitions. Indiana, Minnesota, and Wisconsin had competitions very recently too.
The reason you might not see too many planned throughout the midwest for December and beyond is the snow risk -- delegates are hesitant to commit to travel that will take an hour or more for that reason.

Well, if you don't see anything listed on the WCA's site, then there are no competitions in Madison. Do you search by state? Or city?

Lol, that was posted in April. His WCA profile says he went to a Wisconsin competition in July though.
