<h2>What is Cologne Open 2010?</h2>

<p>
  Cologne Open 2010 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 June 2010</b><br/>
  
  <span>Kath. Jugendfreizeitstätte
<br />Bensberger Straße 43
<br />51503 Rösrath</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="/co10/en/registration">registering</a>
  in advance, since it simplifies the planning for us.
</p>

<p>
  Entrance fee includes a warm meal and free drinks and snacks.
</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>Where can I sleep?</h2>

<p>
We recommend the <a href="http://www.jugendherberge.de/jh/rheinland/koeln-deutz/?m">Youth Hostel Cologne-Deutz</a>.
</p>
