Calendar window: September 1–December 31, 2026. Listings are limited to Chicago, nearby suburbs, and selected regional events within approximately 90 minutes of Chicago when the organizer’s published location supported that screen.
Comparison status: this is the first recorded Competition Calendar run. Every listed candidate is marked New — first calendar run; no earlier on-site calendar exists to classify entries as changed or passed.
Event information can change. Confirm event, division, eligibility, format, venue, registration status, and travel plans on the organizer’s own page before registering.
