The competitor limit for this competition is 200. The list of approved competitors can be found by clicking "Competitors" on the left side of this webpage. If there are already 200 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 11:59 PM EDT on Saturday, September 7 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.
