<h2>Information</h2>

<h3>What is Aachen Summer Open 2012?</h3>

<p>
<i>Aachen Open</i> is the biggest annual german tournament in
<a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Speedcubing">speedcubing</a>,
the sport of solving
<a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rubik%27s_Cube">Rubik's cubes</a>
and similar puzzles as fast as you can.
</p>

<h3>Where and when?</h3>

<h3>How much does it cost?</h3>

<p>
The entrance fee for saturday and sunday will be
<b>5 euro per person per day</b>.
This applies to <b>everyone</b> (except reporters), no matter if you
are a competitor, guest, parent of a competitor or someone else!
</p>


<h3>Where can I sleep?</h3>

<p>
There are plenty of hotels in Aachen, 
check for example
<a href="http://www.hrs.de/">www.hrs.de</a> and look
for hotels in "Aachen Zentrum.
</p>


<h3>Aaaah, I never attended a competition and I feel totally lost!</h3>

<p>
Don't panic! Everybody is welcome and it's not about winning.
You will most likely not be the only one who needs more than
a minute to solve the cube.
</p>

<p>
There will be plenty of time to test the equipment (for example
the official timing device, the 
<a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stackmat_timer">Stackmat timer</a>)
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 <b>before</b> attending a
competition. You should also have a look at this very nice
<a href="http://www.cubingusa.com/ctutorial.php">competitor tutorial</a>.
</p>

<h3>I have questions, which are not answered by this website!</h3>
