World Champions – TBD March 22 Volunteers Due to overwhelming interest from the volunteer community, our response process was delayed. We are currently finalizing the assignment and scheduling of our technical positions, and once completed will be reaching out to the remainder of the general volunteer pool. Unfortunately, due to the high level of support from the community, not all individuals who applied will be selected to volunteer, as we simply do not have enough positions for the number of people that have applied. Thank you for your support and patience!
