starts here.

Similar to the Open, the qualifier workouts are designed to accommodate all fitness levels. These workouts are programmed to test overall capacity. The workouts will be appropriate for the respective division. At the in-person event, the workout loads and skills will be tailored to each division.

There are two weeks with multiple scores. Week 1 runs January 15–21, 2027; Week 2 runs January 22–28, 2027.

Friday, January 15, 2027 (Week 1) and Friday, January 22, 2027 (Week 2) at 6PM CT on our Live Announcement Show, streamed on YouTube. The workouts are also posted on social media and sent out via email.

No, all divisions compete in person over both days of the championship, September 18–19, 2027. You can register for both the Individual and Team qualifier, and if you qualify for both you will choose one when accepting your invitation.
