Popularized in the Pacific Northwest in 2018, a Favorites competition is an unofficial term for a competition that has most or all WCA recognized events, but competitors may only register for a maximum of a few events. This is done to give a region a taste of every event in a short amount of time. In an effort to mimic the efforts of those competitions, please read through this tab in its entirety. For those who have competed in the past, this competition will be following unique conditions compared to other competitions.
- Competitors may only register for a maximum of 4 events. If you register for more than 4 events, your registration will not be approved.
- The current schedule is not final, and will be adjusted after registration closes. 2x2 and 3x3 are the only events guaranteed to have a second round, but other events may also have an extra round added based on the number of registrants and if there is time left at the end of the day.
- If you would like to change your events, you can do so in the Register tab or by emailing us on or before Friday, September 20, 2024, 8:00 PM EDT. Keep in mind that you can only register for 4 events, so if you want to add an event and have already registered for 4 events, you will need to drop another one in the process. No event changes will be allowed after Friday, September 20, 2024, 8:00 PM EDT.

The competitor limit for this competition is 90. The list of approved competitors can be found by clicking "Competitors" on the left side of this webpage. If there are already 90 competitors on that list, it means the competition is full, and any future registrants will be placed on the waitlist.

Approved competitors who cancel their registration before 8:00 PM EDT on Thursday, September 19 are eligible for a refund for half (50%) of their registration cost. 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.
Waitlist Information
We will be keeping a waitlist for this competition. To secure a place on the waitlist once 90 competitors have paid, simply pay the registration fee. If a competitor emails us to drop out before 8:00 PM EDT on Friday, September 20, you will be notified if you are the next competitor on the waitlist.
