Competition Selector (in Contact Form) Fails When competitionId is Set

[mitchell-toth]

Describe the bug The competition selector on the WCA Contact Form exhibits faulty behavior when the competitionId query parameter is set in the URL.

• The desired competition appears briefly in the selector and then is removed from the list of possible options.
• Moreover, searching by any first character contained in the value of competitionId produces an empty result set. For example, if the URL contains ?competitionId=MilwaukeeFirst2022, then searching by any of ["m", "i", "l", "w", "a", "u", "k", "e", "f", "r", "s", "t", "2", "0"] produces no results.
• Multiple uncaught "Unrecognized class undefined" errors appear in the browser console.

To Reproduce

1. Navigate to the WCA Contact Form page with the competitionId query parameter set to a non-empty value. This occurs, for instance, when clicking the "Organization team" contact link from the "Info" tab of any competition page.

2. Choose contact option "Contact the Organizers of a Specific Competition (please select below)". This is auto-selected whenever competitionId is present.

3. Attempt to type a competition name, such as the name of the competition whose page you routed from.

Expected behavior The competition selector automatically selects the competition defined by the competitionId query parameter string. Alternatively, searching by the desired competition name would filter as intended.

@gregorbg could this be related to the changes you made to competition links in Contact Forms recently?

Sorry never got back to your comment. Yes, it is related and I hope it's fixed with a less sledgehammer-y approach now.
