The WKC Virtual League was a complete success with some amazing competition over five regular season events. It all comes to a head with the WKC Virtual World and Amateur Championships. This is where competitors will go head-to-head to determine who will go home with right to claim victory!
How will it work:
1. Only registered WKC members who have competed in at least one regular season virtual event can participate in the WKC Virtual World and Amateur Championships. If you are not currently a paid member, you will not receive an invitation. To become a member, log into your account on MATAction.com, go to the WKC World organization page at www.MATAction.com/WKC-World and look for a green button that says "Create New Membership 2021". Click it and follow the instructions to become a member.
2. Eligible competitors will receive an invitation for each division he/she may compete in for the WKC Virtual World Championships.
3. The running order for the championships will go in reverse of the final ratings order. For instance, the person rated #1 will go last and the lowest rated competitor who registers to compete will go first. If two or more competitors are tied for a particular rating, those competitors will be randomly shuffled into the appropriate spot in the order (for instance, if two people are both rated #2, the names will be randomly shuffled and one will be second to last and the other third to last depending on the shuffle.) Any shuffles will take place before the event begins and the final order for competitors will be revealed the day before the event.
4. Anyone who is currently rated #1 in a World level division will receive a wild card spot on his or her country's team for the in-person World Championships in Orlando, Florida in October. If there are ties for the #1 rated position, both competitors will be allowed to represent his/her team at the World Championships in Orlando.
5. #1 rated competitors that also win at the WKC Virtual World and Amateur Championships will earn the title of Undisputed Virtual World or Amateur Champion for that division and will be honored as such.
6. The top four finalists at the WKC Virtual World Championships will also earn virtual titles (this is for both World and Amateur divisions).
7. Other titles that will be awarded are for Top 10 rated and #1 rated competitors in a division (this is for BOTH World Level and Amateur divisions).
