2026 WCJR Format
The WCJR kicks off July 8 with two last chance qualifier (LCQ) rounds. From these two rounds, there are three ways to qualify to the semi-finals round:
- Top 6 from Round 1
- Top 6 from Round 2
- Top 15 on a two-head aggregate
- Top 3 from the buy back round
Leaderboard-qualified athletes can enter the LCQ rounds, but if they place in the top 6, that spot rolls to the next eligible qualifier. That is why some of the fastest times below are not among the athletes advancing — those ropers are already seeded into the semi-finals.
In the semi-finals, 45 athletes will compete—15 qualified from the leaderboard plus the 30 from the LCQ. From the semi-finals, 15 athletes advance to the finals.
