Two annual championships · compete from anywhere
Opening year 2026: submit hangs and climb the leaderboard while WDHC launches. Starting 2027, WDHC crowns official world titles in two annual virtual championships: Amateur Open (Men and Women) and Pro (weight-class titles for qualified athletes).
WDHC is rolling out to family, friends, and early athletes first. Submit hangs, test the platform, and help us build the board before the public launch. Hangs count on the leaderboard and in monthly challenges, but there is no 2026 championship season.
