What is a Favorites Competition?
A Favorites Competition is a term for a competition that has most or all WCA recognized events, but competitors may only register for a maximum of a few events. This is done to allow people the opportunity to compete in their preferred events, while having a large selection of events to pick from.
How do I know what events I can register for?
Competitors may only register for events that add up to no more than 20 points.
You can find how many points each event is worth in the table below:
