<h2>What is Berlin Open 2012?</h2>

<p>
  Berlin Open 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>12-13 May 2012</b><br/>
  
  <span><a href="http://www.jh-berlin-international.de/">DJH Jugendherberge Berlin International</a>
<br />Kluckstraße 3
<br />10785 Berlin</span><br/>
  Germany
</p>

<h2>How much does it cost?</h2>

<p>
  The entrance fee will probably (!) be <b>7.50 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="/bo12/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>

<h2>Hotels nearby</h2>

<p>Even though the competition will be held in a room of a youth hostel, in-house accomodations will
only be available to a limited extent (only for Saturday night). Here are some hotels that are located
nearby (within walking distance) for competitors who wish to arrive on Friday or earlier.</p>
<p><a href="http://www.hotel-7himmel.de/">Hotel 7. Himmel / Potsdamer Hof</a> is about 8 minutes 
(on foot) away from the venue.<br/>
<a href="http://www.hotelampotsdamerplatz.de/">Hotel am Potsdamer Platz</a> is also less than 10 minutes
(on foot) away.<br/>
<a href="http://www.altberlin-hotel.de/">Hotel Altberlin</a> has about the same distance from the venue.</p>
