<h2>What is Erfurt Open 2013?</h2>

<p>
  Erfurt Open 2013 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>01-02 June 2013</b><br/>
  
  <span>Kindermedienzentrum Studio D
<br />Erich-Kästner-Straße 1
<br />99094 Erfurt</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="/eo13/en/registration">registering</a>
  in advance, since it simplifies the planning for us.
</p>

<h2>Lunch</h2>

<p>
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:
</p>

<ul>
<li>Thuringian "Bratwurst" sausage and roll 1,50 EUR</li>
<li>Vegetable skewer 2 EUR</li>
<li>"Kartoffelpuffer", kind of a potato pancake 50 ct.</li>
<li>Soup 1 EUR</li>
</ul>
The selection of the meals yet is <b>subject to change</b>


<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 to spend the night</h2>

<p>
In Erfurt there are a lot of hotels or hostels, herefore simply ask Google.
Nevertheless the <a href="http://www.opera-hostel.de/">Opera Hostel Erfurt</a> can be seen as kind of an
insider tip. It's a two-minute footwalk away from a tram station (Brühler Garten)
