Organizing a Competition

This is a little guide for organizing a competition. I would like to organize a comp in 2018. This is just an organization of my thoughts, because reading multiple sources gets my head to be spinny.
A hella good guide 

What is needed:

• timers
• timer displays
• mats
• cords for timers and display
• cube covers
• tables
• competitor tables
• spectator tables
• chairs (MANY FRIGGIN CHAIRS)
• uh... experience, bro

1. Make sure you have a venue

• Contact venue for price details (if this is the case)
• cheaper if venue sponsors specifically insurance
• school gyms, churches, etc
• Have a set date including times
• Don't book just yet
• A plus if there is a projector

2. Contact closest delegate 

• Check to see if they have cube cover/timers/mats/cords/etc.

3. Have a team

• this includes scramblers, judges, runners
• good to have a solid team, so you can rely not on just competitors (judges)

4a. Add up prices needed in case*

• can be applied to registration fee for competitors

4b. Advertising when WCA approves*

• to get more people at the comp

• also knowing the competitor limit 

• this is basically your limit for how much you can handle

5. Contact WCA once you have all the info on the competition

• make a website before contacting: (from cubingusa.com)

Setup a webpage with the information and registration instructions.

Be sure to include all information about the date, events, schedule, venue, directions, WCA delegate, and anything else that may be relevant. Also, let the competitors know how they can pre-register for the competition so that you can plan better. It may also be helpful to include a list of hotels in the area, especially for competitions that are more than one day or that will have competitors that had to travel. CubingUSA can provide you with a website if you need one.
