Athletes who compete in the Head to Head competition circuit can qualify for more significant, more competitive events throughout the season. Below are brief explanations of how athletes qualify for each level of competition. Full qualifying details can be found in the latest version of the Rulebook.
Standard qualifying competitions are local competitions that can be hosted by any organization within the league’s network. All athletes are invited to compete in standard qualifying competitions. Check the link below to find a local qualifying competition near you.
Athletes earn points by competing and finishing in the top 10 at standard Head to Head qualifying competitions. Athletes in the top 32 per division for their region’s Head to Head standings before each Head to Head Regional Championship will be invited to compete at that region’s Head to Head Regional Championship.
Each season, each region that hosts a Head to Head standard qualifier will be invited to host two head to head Regional Championships. The first date range will be around midway through the season. The second regional date range will be at the end of the season.
Athletes can qualify for the ultimate showdown, the Head to Head World Championships! Here’s how athletes earn one of the coveted spots:
Qualifying Spots Breakdown:
16 spots per division (age/gender) available across all Regional Championships per period
~32 athletes per division will secure their place at the Head to Head World Championships.
How It Works:
Each regional championship has a specific number of spots for each division, determined by the number of participants in that region compared to the total across all regions.
The formula to determine regional qualifying spots is:
16 x (Number of Athletes in Region / Total Number of Athletes Across All Regions)
If calculations yield fractions, spots are always rounded up, so there might be even more than 32 athletes qualifying!
Example:
In the Northeast Elite division, if 250 Elite Males competed in the season out of a total of 1,000 Elite Males across all regions, the Northeast Regional Championship will offer:
4 spots for the Northeast Elite division. (Calculated as: 16 x (250 / 1,000) = 4)
