 2. Location(s)
    1. A location consists of the country, city, and venue.
    2. The location should also include subregions of the country that are common to include with addresses (e.g. the state a U.S. city is located in).
-   3. Competitions will be accepted regarding proximity if there are no other competitions within 10 km driving distance and less than 5 days away.
-      1. Otherwise, the WCA Competition Announcement Team should review the circumstances of the proposed competition. The WCA Delegate requesting approval for such a competition must provide further information on why the competition should still be accepted. Reasons that will result in an approval include:
-         1. The two competitions don’t have events in common.
-         2. The two competitions take place in different countries.
+   3. Competitions must not be held within 30 km driving distance and 5 days of each other.
+      1. The WCA Delegate may request an exception to these restrictions, which shall be reviewed by the WCA Competition Announcement Team, with the following conditions:
+         1. At most two competitions may be held within 30 km driving distance and 5 days of each other, provided that the events held at each competition do not overlap.  
+         2. These restrictions do not apply to competitions in the same series. Multiple competitions in a series shall be treated as one competition in the context of these exceptions.
    4. The WCA Competition Announcement Team, together with the Senior Delegate, may impose additional requirements for venues, such as which types of venues are allowed to be used within a region.
       1. Competitions must not be held in a vehicle.
       2. Competitions must not be held in private residences (including rented residences such as hotel rooms or rental homes).
