Hi Advay - WCA Live is not intended for discovering competitions near you. As such, I am closing this issue as not planned.

However, you do raise a good point in terms of user experience of finding competitions relevant to you. I have created an issue in the WCA Live repo with this idea.

This behaviour is expected, the location icon only shows up if there are ongoing competitions and it directly navigates to closest of them. This icon primarily meant to be a shortcut for people at the competition or in the same country, so they don't have to scroll through the list.

For searching competitions in general the WCA website should be preferred, because competitions are visible on WCA Live only once imported, and some organizers do that shortly before the competition date.
