USS WEIGHT CLASSES:http://www.unitedstatesstrongman.com/about

This meet will allow you to qualify for Nationals 2022. Top 3 for each weight class or division will qualify. 

If there are at least 10 competitors in a division, we will break into weight classes. 

PER USS Nationals Website: If you qualify in a specific DIVISION and CLASS (LW, MW, HW, SHW) then you may register to compete for Nationals in either of the two weight cut-offs within that class. Example: You qualify as a 242 HW male. You may compete as a 242 or 275 HW. You MAY NOT go down to a MW. Period. You would have to re-qualify as a MW. If, however, you qualify as a 220 MW male, you may compete as a 198 MW. If you need to move up to another weight class, such as a HW going to SHW, that is acceptable.
