This is a Strongman Corporation sanctioned event. All athletes must have a current Strongman Corporation membership, which can be purchased here: https://strongmancorporation.com/memberships/. Please note that USS and Strongman Corporation are not the same thing, and each federation requires a separate membership to compete.

Qualifications will be available for 2025 Nationals based on the number of competitors in each class on competition day, as follows:
- 1 athlete in class: the promoter may merge the class with another class; if the athlete competes alone they will earn an invite by completing (i.e. not “zeroing”) at least 4 of the 5 events to the standards originally set forth by the promoter.
- 2-4 athletes in a class: 1st place qualifies for Nationals
- 5-9 athletes in a class: 1st and 2nd place qualify for Nationals
- 10+ athletes in a class: 1st-3rd place qualify for Nationals

Weight classes may be combined if there are fewer than 3 participants as of competition week. In the case of combined classes, we'll use the weight limit of the heavier class and the implement weights of the lighter class.

Note that there is NO "ALLOWANCE" on the weight classes. Ex: if you're in the 80kg class, you must weigh in at 80.0kg or below. All athletes must (minimally) wear underwear to weigh in.

Please read the official Strongman Corporation Athlete Info prior to the competition. It includes details about weight classes, qualification standards (including those for Masters Nationals and America's Strongest Teen), weigh-ins, and more. You can find all that info here: https://strongmancorporation.com/athlete-info-overview/.
