I completed my annual membership registration and payment, but my membership group still shows as “associate member” on my profile. Why is that?

Q:
세계대회 진출권을 얻었어요. 세계대회에서는 본선 종목과 아예 다른 종목으로 참가해도 될까요?
Admin 2025.08.19
A:
본선에서 세계대회 진출권을 얻은 경우, 세계대회에서는 해당 진출권을 획득한 종목에 반드시 출전해야 합니다.
예를 들어, "피지컬 컴퓨팅" 종목에서 진출권을 얻은 경우, 세계대회에서도 "피지컬 컴퓨팅" 종목에 반드시 출전해야 합니다. 이후 피지컬 컴퓨팅 종목 외에 한 종목을 추가로 출전하는 것은 가능합니다.
