Hancock County NxNs 2026 opens registration with 65-cuber limit

Hancock County NxNs 2026 opened with a 65-competitor cap, making it a small-field NxN chance for regional cubers who want a calmer room and a cleaner solve area in Greenfield. The World Cube Association listing says the meet is supported by the Midwest Cubing Association and asks guests to take overflow seating so competitors can keep tables available until the room thins out.

Online registration opened Thursday, July 9, 2026 at 5:00 PM PDT and closes Sunday, September 20, 2026 at 5:00 PM PDT. The base fee is $30, payment runs through Stripe, and the page sets a 90 percent refund if a competitor cancels before September 22, 2026. The waitlist stays active until September 23, and no on-the-spot registrations will be accepted. Competitors can still add events until the competition begins, and each competitor may bring at most two guests.

The current field already gives the meet a real register-early feel. The registration page showed 42 competitors in the queue, including 3 first-timers and 39 returners, which leaves 23 spots before the cap hits. The page also showed 43 bookmarks, a sign that the event has drawn attention even before the roster fills.

The venue is the Community Foundation of Hancock County / Thrive Center in Greenfield, Indiana, at 971 W US Hwy 40. Midwest Cubing Association and Sage Albright are listed as organizers, with Braden Richards, Glenn Koster and Sebastian Carrillo named as WCA delegates. That same site has already hosted Hancock County Spring 2026 on April 26, 2026 and Hancock County Summer 2025 on August 30, 2025, both under the same organizing team.

That pattern gives Hancock County NxNs 2026 a familiar local backbone, and the 65-cuber limit keeps the emphasis on manageable turnout rather than a crowded open. With overflow seating built into the plan and just 23 places left after the latest registration count, the July 9 opening already mattered as the kind of date that rewards quick signups.
