WCA Delegate is a role defined in the WCA Motions and depicted in the WCA Regulations. The primary duty of a Delegate is to oversee competitions on behalf of the WCA. A WCA Delegate is responsible for making sure that all WCA Competitions are run according to the Purpose, Values, and Regulations of the WCA. The WCA distinguishes between Senior Delegates, Regional Delegates, Full Delegates, Junior Delegates, and Trainee Delegates.
In addition to the duties of a WCA Delegate, a Senior Delegate or Regional Delegate is responsible for managing the WCA Delegates in their area and can also be contacted by the community for regional matters.
New Delegates are listed as Junior Delegates at first; afterwards they are requested to show proficiency managing WCA Competitions before being promoted to WCA Delegates.
Trainee Delegates are being trained for the position of WCA Delegate and can only oversee competitions in which a WCA Delegate is present.
