WCC Licensed Competition Bodies
A Competition Body* (CB) is a licensed entity who has been granted a license to organize Championships for their community in accordance with the World Coffee Championships Rules & Regulations. One of the benefits of a CB is that they can send their National Champion to participate in the World Coffee Championships, and represent their community on a global stage.
The CB License is primarily granted to established SCA Chapters, who have demonstrated capacity to support championships. A CB License may also be granted to an entity who is not an SCA Chapter, if it meets the requirements and procedures. All CB Licenses are authorized by the SCA annually and subject to regular review and/or cancellation.
If a CB does not exist in your region and you’d like to learn more about forming one, get in touch via community-partnerships@sca.coffee.
