Guest Limit
Space is limited in the venue and our priority is allowing as many competitors as possible to compete within our limited venue space.
Competitors may bring at most two (2) guests.
Competitor List
Registrants must pay the registration fee in order to be added to the competitor list. Organizers manually accept registrations one at a time in the order the registration fees are paid, so you may have to wait a while before your name could show up on the competitor list.
Once the competitor list reaches the 80 competitor limit, registrants who pay the registration fee will be added to the waiting list instead of the competitor list. Due to the competitor limit, completing your registration within the initial registration period does not guarantee you a spot on the competitor list.
Waiting List
The waiting list is ordered based on the timestamp that registrants paid the registration fee. For privacy reasons, this list is not available to the public. If you are added to the waiting list you will be informed via an email from the Organization team.
Anyone on the waiting list who wishes to be removed from the waiting list may contact the organizers to delete their registration and be refunded 90% of their registration fee.
If the competitor list fills up quickly, registration could close earlier than the originally listed date (June 18, 2024). The waiting list will close at the same time that registration closes.
If anyone on the competitor list deletes their registration, the person at the top of the waiting list will be moved to the competitor list. After (June 18, 2024), the competitor list will be finalized and registrants who are still on the waiting list will be refunded 100% of their registration fee.
