*Note: this is competitor ticket registration*

Hello!

The Canadian Chapter of the Specialty Coffee Association is extremely excited to organize coffee competitions as sanctioned by World Coffee Events.

Eight Ounce Coffee will be hosting the 2023 Canadian Barista Championship Qualifier 2 in Calgary, AB Canada! Competition dates will be April 29th and April 30th 2023.

This is a qualifying round for the 2023 Canadian Barista Championships where the 6 finalists will move on to Nationals (date and location TBD).

Please note that both Qualifiers for the Barista Championships will be using the 2023 WBC Rules & Regulations.

To be eligible to compete in this Qualifier 1, the competitor must have lived for full 24 months in Canada by the date of WBC 2023, Athens. This is so that your eligibility for competing at WBC is not jeopardized. On this note, we would like to communicate that WCE holds the final decision pertaining to the eligibility of a Champion. Please read the Rules and Regulations carefully for WBC to ensure that for any other reasons, you may not be eligible to compete at Worlds.

There will be limit of 2 competitors per same company. The reservation of a spot to compete by purchasing this ticket is final. We cannot accommodate refunds if you decide to change your mind and/or your circumstances change.

When purchasing the ticket(s) please use a valid email address which will be used for initial communication coming from SCA Canada. It is OK to purchase the ticket for someone else, however, an email will be sent out to the registered email to confirm the competitor's information very soon.

Please note that if you are on the waitlist, you have 48 hours after you receive an email from us to accept a spot on the competition. You will be billed directly by SCA Canada for the registration fee at that point.

In case of drop out of confirmed national competitor after the qualifier 1, in order of highest to lowest scores, the next competitor in line will be offered a spot at Nationals. Once again, please reply within 48 hours from the offer email to confirm your spot.

We are not able to process refunds.

In coming weeks, we will be sharing more details about the competitions regarding espresso machine, layout, grinders, water, basket types/sizes, temperature/pressure, and etc.
