Description

An alternative view of who the WCA's world champions are.

How it works:


The first person to win an event becomes the World Champion, then they must keep winning that event to maintain their champion status.
If the current champion fails to win a round of their event, the winner becomes World Champion and it continues.
In the event that the World Champion fails to compete in their event for one year, they lose the title, and the person with the best result on the next possible competition end date becomes World Champion.
