We have made changes to competition registration and how entries are selected. This is so we can offer more focus to participants and event visitors.

Changes are as follows:

1. The convention will limit the number of participants from 48 to 40 and reduce the number of rounds from 6 to 5.
2. Registrations are not automatically guaranteed a position. Registrations will be pooled into a lot and only 40 names will be selected for the competition.
3. Champions from the last convention are automatically guaranteed a spot to defend their title.
