Where and when?
01-02 June 2013
Kindermedienzentrum Studio D
Erich-Kästner-Straße 1
99094 Erfurt
Germany
How much does it cost?
The entrance fee will probably (!) be 7.50 euro per person per day. This applies to everyone (except reporters), no matter if you are a competitor, guest, parent of a competitor or someone else! Please consider registering in advance, since it simplifies the planning for us.
Lunch
Due to the fact that the venue is not located very close the city centre (12 minutes by tram), we'll offer a barbecue as a lunch possibility directly at the venue. Each competitor may choose whether or not he wants to register. You'll have to pay directly at the competition in cash. The prices are as follows:
- Thuringian "Bratwurst" sausage and roll 1,50 EUR
- Vegetable skewer 2 EUR
- "Kartoffelpuffer", kind of a potato pancake 50 ct.
- Soup 1 EUR
For beginners...
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 official WCA regulations at least once before attending the competition!
Where to spend the night
In Erfurt there are a lot of hotels or hostels, herefore simply ask Google. Nevertheless the Opera Hostel Erfurt can be seen as kind of an insider tip. It's a two-minute footwalk away from a tram station (Brühler Garten)
