Is there a deadline to qualify?

i havent competed in a while, so im gonna have to qualify via qualifying feats. Since i dont have a computer these days, uploading vids is a pita. But im sure i'll figure something out in regards to getting some vids up, if need be.

If there is no qualifying deadline, i can also simply show up and qualify day of, before the comp starts? If that is okay.

Haven't you certed like, everything?

I don't think further clarification would be required in regards to your eligibility to compete at nats lol

You can literally qualify the morning or night before the comp, buddy.

All the qualification standards are above, in this thread.

By the way, the qualifications have to be current, as in during the current season.  So, old certs wouldn't count.

But, a person of Tommy's caliber would be able to knockout a bunch of the qualifying lifts in no time.

Trying to put together the money for this and the flights aren't too pricey but I'm wondering about logistics. Google seems to think flying to akron and then bussing would be the best bet * I don't have a credit card do rent a car with* 

I guess I'm wondering if guys will be carpooling or not and what are some cheapish hotels near the comp location a guy could look up?

EVENTS:

1) Competition Grippers, 20mm block set, both hands, 4 attempts

2) Max 2HP, 4 attempts

3) DO axle deadlift, max weight, 4 attempts

4) Sledge Hammer Floor Rotations (In/Out Pronation/Supination).  60 second time limit to get as many rotations as possible.  8lb and 6lb hammers will be used, with 30-inch handles.  One rep with the 8# hammer is worth '1 point', one rep with the 6# hammer is worth '0.5 points'.  This keeps the scoring in line with the medley also scored with heavy/light implements. 

5) Medley, 60 sec time lift. We will have 12 identical items, one heavy and one lighter, you can attempt either but will only be scored for one. Scoring will be 1.0 for the heavier item, 0.5 for the lighter item. In the case of a tie, the faster time will be rewarded an additional 0.25 points.

I'm going to be last minute - that's the weekend of the State Track Meet.  If any of our kids make it to state - I pretty much have to go.  I will be sponsoring and providing some equipment to use either way.

Andrew and I are working on preparing a list of  grip challenge items for the Women's Medley.  I also put it up in the NAGS Committee discussion forum.

PayPal sent for entry fee.  Entry form is filled out, going to scan it at work and email it to you.

I think I have to make a qualifying video, I'll shoot it Friday and post it up.  Looking forward to the contest!

Edit, just saw that getting the MM1 this year counts so I'm all set.
