Normally a WCCC (open hardware) will be held every three year, a WMCC (limited
hardware ie single cpu) will be held every year. (In the overlapping years you
can win 2 titles if you win the tournament with a single cpu pc.)

So unless you're program needs a supercomputer, you can participate in a
worldchampionship next year.
