This is a concept that is  created and added to the qualification season in order to increase the level of excitement and longer involvement among the season's contestants. The Time Chase events are based on the following concept:

Time chase events are extra tournaments held throughout the qualification season to give competitors an extra chance to qualify for the grand final if they did not win their national qualification championship. How ? - Starting from the  season 2022, the CSWC board has decided to award a wild card for the grand final competition to all competitors who manage to place their time  in the final top 20 list of the best smokers of the current season. That means that even if these participants do not win the CSWC national qualification tournament, they still have a chance to compete in Time Chase tournaments, where the goal is to place or keep their time in the top 20 list. These events will be held only by official judges and times  will be officially accepted only if the Judges will be organizers and in charge.  

​

In conclusion, Time Chase events are designed to give participants the opportunity to have their times officially recorded in the TOP 20 list in order to get a wild card for Grand Final competing and participation. Each country is allowed to host up to max 4 Time Chase events.
