I wanted to start a discussion on the topic of no-shows. Especially in the times of COVID there is very little supply of competition spots compared to demand. Yet, some people register and not show on the competition without cancelling. Right now the penalty for that is just the forfeiture of the entry-free.
I think it would be really nice if people cancel if they know they won't come (even as late as the day before the competition likely would be enough for someone from a waiting list to jump in).
Maybe there should be more strict penalizing of this behavior. I suggest that unjustified no-shows should be e.g. forced into waiting list for the next competition they register.
it is worth suggesting this kind of policy to competitions organizers?
Should it be resolved at the WCA Level or rather at the local level only?
