2. Clicking "Register" on the left side of this webpage, selecting the events they would like to compete in, and submitting their registration;
3. Paying the registration fee of $30.00. (The registration fee is the same regardless of how many events are selected.) Your registration is not complete until you have paid the registration fee.

The competitor limit for this competition is 50. The list of approved competitors can be found by clicking "Competitors" on the left side of this webpage. If there are already 50 competitors on that list, it means the competition is full, and any future registrants will be placed on the waitlist.

After this date, no refund requests will be honored. Attempting to file a chargeback for the registration fee will lead to being blacklisted from future WCA events.
