Due to the extraordinary and unforeseen circumstances resulting from the COVID-19 outbreak and situations that are beyond the control of WGI and competing groups or their members, the WGI Board of Directors extend the eligibility for one year only, during the 2021 competitive season, for performers who are currently members of independent units as of March 11, 2020. This decision will have no impact or effect whatsoever on scholastic eligibility which is governed by state and local law.
