As with any membership and organizations activity that includes rules and procedures there can be updates on a periodic basis to help improve the event, clarify, or address issues. In WCCCC® has provided the most detailed copyrighted Rule Book in the industry. Please study it closely. Your lack of knowledge of the rules is not acceptable to address a violation. Break a rule and you are OUT!
PLEASE KNOW THE FOLLOWING; If the WCCCC® finds that you have misrepresented yourself in anyway, put false statements on any part of the Membership Application, or flat out lied you will be expelled and you will forfeit your entire membership fee. No exceptions and we are damn serious about it!
