<h2>What is Altbier 2012?</h2>

<p>
  Altbier 2012 is a
  <i><a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Speedcubing">Speedcubing</a> Competition</i>.
  Speedcubing is the activity of solving a <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rubik%27s_Cube">Rubiks Cube</a>
  or related puzzles as quickly as possible.
</p>

<h2>Where and when?</h2>

<p>
  
    <b>25-26 February 2012</b><br/>
  
  <span>Gemeindehaus Diezelweg
<br />Diezelweg 55
<br />40468 Düsseldorf</span><br/>
  Germany
</p>

<h2>How much does it cost?</h2>

<p>
  The entrance fee will probably (!) be <b>5 euro per person per day</b>.
  This applies to everyone (except reporters), no matter if you are a
  competitor, guest, parent of a competitor or someone else!
  Please consider <a href="/ab12/en/registration">registering</a>
  in advance, since it simplifies the planning for us.
</p>

<h2>For beginners...</h2>

<p>
  There will be plenty of time to test the equipment (for example
  the official timing device, the Stackmat timer) and discuss the rules
  if you have questions. However, every competitor should have read the
  <a href="http://www.worldcubeassociation.org/regulations/">official WCA regulations</a>
  at least once before attending the competition!
</p>
