          <b>March 31, 2016</b>: The registration will close on Wednesday, April 6th, at 23:59!

<h2>What is German Open 2016?</h2>

<p>
In 2004, the first official german
<a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Speedcubing">speedcubing</a>
competition was held:
<a href="http://www.speedcubing.com/events/gcd2004/">German Open 2004</a>.
In 2016, this competition will therefore take place for the 13th time!
We would be happy if you'd join us and we hope you
will enjoy the competition and have fun!
</p>

<h2>Where and when?</h2>

<p>
  
    <b>09-10 April 2016</b><br/>
  
  <span>Janusz Korczak Gesamtschule
<br />Schledebrückstr. 170
<br />33334 Gütersloh</span><br/>
  Germany
</p>

<h2>How can I participate?</h2>

<p>
To take part at the competition it is necessary to 
register beforehand (see <a href="/go16/en/registration">Register</a>). 
We will accept at most 100 competitors. <b>Competitors or guests who are not registered
will not be able to get in!</b>
</p>

<h2 style="margin-top: 40px"><a style="color: black" name="costs">How much does it cost?</a></h2>

<p>
The entrance fee is <b>5 euro per person per day with pre-payment</b> 
(see <a href="/go16/en/registration#prepayment">pre-payment system</a>)
and <b>10 euro per day with on-site payment</b>.
<b>This applies to everyone</b> (except reporters),
no matter if you are a competitor, guest, parent of a competitor
or someone else!
</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 must have read the
<a href="http://www.worldcubeassociation.org/regulations/">official WCA regulations</a> at least once before
attending the competition, as their knowledge is important during the competition!
</p>

<h2>Where can I sleep?</h2>

There are plenty of hotels in Gütersloh, for example

<ul>
 <li><a href="http://www.gt-center-hotel.de/">Center Hotel Gütersloh</a></li>
 <li><a href="http://hiex-guetersloh.de/">Holiday Inn Express Gütersloh</a></li>
 <li><a href="http://hotel-am-rathaus-gt.de">Hotel am Rathaus</a></li>
 <li><a href="http://hotel-stadt-hamburg-gt.de">Hotel Stadt Hamburg</a></li>
</ul>
