This is a Strongman Corporation sanctioned event. Qualifications will be available for 2025 Nationals (September 12-13, 2025 in Las Vegas) or 2026 Nationals - you can choose one or the other, not both. Qualifications are 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
