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 $12. (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 15. The list of approved competitors can be found by clicking "Competitors" on the left side of this webpage. If there are already 15 competitors on that list, it means the competition is full, and any future registrants will be placed on the waitlist.

Your registration is not complete until your name shows up on the list.

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 Sunday, May 5, 2024 at 3:00 PM EDT, you will be notified if you are the next competitor on the waitlist.
