The competitor limit for this competition is 20. The list of approved competitors can be found by clicking "Competitors" on the left side of this webpage. If there are already 20 competitors on that list, it means the competition is full, and any future registrants will be placed on the waitlist. If the competitor limit is not reached, we will accept at-the-door registrations. We cannot accept any new registrations after the limit has been reached

Your registration is not complete until your name shows up on the list. This competition allows on-site registration, so any requested changes to registration will be honored at any time.

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 Friday, August 30, 2024 at 8:00 PM EDT are eligible for a refund for 90% 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.

We will be keeping a waitlist for this competition. To secure a place on the waitlist once competitors have paid, simply pay the registration fee. If a competitor emails us to drop out before Friday, August 30, 2024 at 8:00 PM EDT, you will be notified if you are the next competitor on the waitlist.
