Questions about Starting a competition in texas mabey?

[andrewvo1324]

Well like yea, im from texas and theres never any competitions here except that one time in dallas.

SO i was wondering how i could start a competition mabey in houston and who would be instrested to come?

OR is it to late to make a competition...

Also how much money would i need to put in this competition....Is there a way to get someone to donate stackmats and stuff?

I think you should contact the WCA. They can tell you everything you need and help you with tips, contacts and probably even material like stackmats/timers/displays

What do you mean by "too late to make a competition"? They should be announced at least one month in advance, but there's always time to hold a competition.

Also, I would try to work on your spelling and communication skills. The image you put forward may affect your attendance. For example, if you had to travel a distance for a competition, which one would you rather go to:

"There will be a Rubik's Cube Competition in Someplace, TX on March 18th. It will be held at the Someplace Student Union. The competition starts at 9:00 and will go to 5:00. For the full schedule and registration, please go to the website ....."

"i am having a competition on the 18th. lol. it's at the someplace student union in someplace. it starts at 9. webiste is...."

The way to get someone to donate timers is to ask them. Of course, there's no known millionaire that's handing out the money for Rubik's competitions, so you'll either have to find one on your own or put up your own money. How much money depends on your costs. If you're going to have prizes or a spendy venue, it'll cost more.

Some places offer themselves as free venues; you should try to find those.
