They are on the cubingusa page. There are ones for 4x4, 6x6, OH, and BLD iirc. Check for yourself.

Dude I'm gonna be honest when I say you didn't answer a single question I asked. But maybe i didn't phrase them correctly. I'll try again.

1. Why is there 6x6 Speedsolve but not 5x5 speedsolve?
2. Out of curiosity, does anyone attending this competition use roux for 3x3?
3.(After seeing the cutoffs) what's the difference between a hard cutoff and a soft cutoff?

Short answer: Because organizers do what they want.
Long answer: This was based upon requests from those attending UMich cube club meetings, and what we had time for. Not too much was requested, but we did want to hold 4x4 and 6x6, among other common events. It also has to do with what has been held in recent history - 6x6 was held only at UIUC this year in the midwest, and 5x5 has been held three times this year in the midwest. You can never accomodate everyone's requests in a one day competition.

As for cutoffs, soft cutoffs are the combined final time - you have to be under this time in your first two solves to complete the average. Hard cutoffs are more strict, you have to be under the hard cutoff in each solve or else you are stopped and it is a DNF.

This is true. Indiana 2012 had 15/19 official events and people were still complaining that there wasn't any 5x5.
