Tutorial for new competitors

Venue Address:
The Alloy King of Prussia
301 W Dekalb Pike

The venue is on Route 202 about a mile northeast of the King of Prussia Mall. Easily accessible by the PA Turnpike, I-76, and Route 422 as well.

Once you arrive, making a right turn will lead you to a 2-level (free) parking garage with plenty of parking. From there entering through an unmarked set of doors to the building (next to a large window) will take you to the lower level. At the end of the hallway across from a set of stairs is the Fusion Room where the competition will be held.

You can also access the room through the main lobby by heading to the right, then continuing until you see a wide set of stairs on the left. These stairs will bring you to the lower level and right across the hall is the Fusion Room

For All Competitors

Registration Process

Before You Register

All prospective registrants need a WCA account. New competitors can create their own WCA account by clicking here and entering the required information.

How to Register Online

Prospective competitors register by:
1. Signing into their WCA account;
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 $20.00. (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 35. The list of approved competitors can be found by clicking "Competitors" on the left side of this webpage. If there are already 35 competitors on that list, it means the competition is full, and any future registrants will be placed on the waitlist.

Competitors MUST register and pay online in order to compete. No at-the-door registrations or payments will be accepted.

Any requested changes to registration before Thursday, November 28, 2024 at 11:59 PM EST will be honored. Your registration is not complete until your name shows up on the list.

How to Pay for Registration Online

Payment is processed through Stripe. Click on the "Register" tab on the left side of the webpage to register and pay all in one place! You can start the payment process by clicking "Pay your fees with card."

Refunds

Approved competitors who cancel their registration before Thursday, November 28, 2024 at 11:59 PM EST 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 35 competitors have paid, simply pay the registration fee. If a competitor emails us to drop out before Thursday, November 28, 2024 at 11:59 PM EST, you will be notified if you are the next competitor on the waitlist. After that deadline, all remaining competitors on the waitlist will be emailed letting them know they did not get off the waitlist and will be fully refunded.
