Regarding all qualifying AWT2020 Daredevil events: We had previously communicated with everyone that events past April 1st would be considered for this position; however, with escalating developments surrounding the COVID-19 virus, we will be temporarily halting the application process while also cancelling all currently registered Daredevil events.

Our hearts are with all of the organizers and members of the community that make these events happen, but we must place everyone’s safety above the world tour. We will continue to closely monitor the COVID-19 situation and post any updates regarding when we may be able to resume the Daredevil events.
