*partially random lottery is the official term for the style of lottery utilized. A true lottery is when everyone is considered for the available spots and a random selection is made from a large pool of candidates. We ask competitors to submit their own name, and we randomly select only from the competitors who applied for an open spot. This is more accurately described as partially random lottery. This particular lottery is also weighted by the self-identified demographic data in an effort to produce a more diverse range of competitors.
If you have any questions about the form, please contact uscompetitions@sca.coffee.
