2026 COMPETITION EVENT NUMBERS

Per current West Region Operating Rules and Procedures, the West Region will again administer a program under which “permanent” entrant numbers may be assigned to those competitors who desire a “permanent” regional entrant number for the current competition year.

Competitors must be current NCCC members. Requests for a “permanent” number will be administered as follows:

1. From January 1 through February 15, you may request the same “permanent” regional number you had the previous year. You have priority.

2. After February 15, you may request a number with the understanding that numbers will be assigned on a first-come, first-serve basis. Linda Hommer, assigned by the West Region Competition Director, will be collecting your application and fees.

3. Entrants must send their request form for a number assignment to Linda Hommer no earlier than January 1, 2026. Each club Governor should provide the proper form (included) to his/her members.

4. Fifteen dollars ($15.00) in cash or check must accompany each request.
5. The numbers 1 through 999 shall be available for assignment.
6. Numbers shall be assigned by the RCD, or a designee, as requested on an annual basis following receipt of all requests postmarked as per Items 1, 2 and 3 above. Members who held a “permanent” number the previous year will be granted priority to that same number upon receipt

7. NCCC membership must be maintained.
8. In case of more than one request for the same number, the following procedure will be used: First choice will go to the earliest postmark (but no earlier than January 1). In the case of a request for the same number postmarked on the same day, the RCD will conduct a random drawing.

9. No later than March 15th, the RCD or a designee, will send a confirmation email to each NCCC member who requested a “permanent” number and a list of all currently assigned “permanent” numbers to each Governor of the West Region.
