Mini-sota Series
"Mini-sota" is a play on the longstanding Mini Minnesota competition series. These competitions are small, simple, and low-cost events. They focus on essentials, with a simplified setup and a shorter schedule, to keep things relaxed and affordable. The fees collected are only used to pay for dues owed to the WCA, and any excess fees are used to reimburse delegates for their dues, and to pay for supplies.
