If WAITLISTED for Comp A:
- If you are accepted to Comp B,
- You may delete your Comp A registration and be issued a full refund for that comp. (Delegates can also do this for you on your behalf)
- You may remain on the Comp A waitlist (i.e., you prefer Comp A). If you move up the Comp A waitlist enough, the Delegates may ask you which comp you prefer and allow you to choose. Please email the Delegates using the “Contact” link on the competition website to let them know your preference.
- If you are also waitlisted to Comp B,
- You may opt to stay on both waitlists until you are accepted to one of them. If accepted to one, you may delete your registration to the other and receive a full refund.
If ACCEPTED to Comp A:
- If you are accepted to Comp B,
- Your registration for Comp B will be ACCEPTED and you will be moved to the WAITLIST of Comp A. This is because you are telling the organizers and Delegates you would actually prefer Comp B over Comp A since you are registering for another series competition even after being accepted to a previously opened one.
- You may delete your Comp A registration and be issued a refund per the comp policy. (Delegates can also do this for you on your behalf)
- If you are waitlisted to Comp B,
- You may opt to stay on the Comp B waitlist to see if you are eventually accepted (i.e., you prefer Comp B). If you move up the Comp B waitlist enough, the Delegates may ask you which comp you prefer and allow you to choose. If accepted, you may delete your registration to Comp A and receive a refund per the comp policy. Please email the Delegates using the “Contact” link on the competition website to let them know your preference.
