[pudge]

a buddy of mine didnt place in the top 15 in the heavies last year at nationals.. he's been asking me but i dont have the answer to his next year's qualification...

its my understanding that once u qualify ur good for 2 yrs... if he qualified and competed but didnt place top 15, is his 2 yr qual up?? can he do nationals again this year?? or does he have to requalify?

You are qualified from the date you win 1st or second place in your weight class at a national qualifier. 2 years from that date is my understanding.

If you place in the top 5 of Nationals, USA, North American you are qualified for 5 years.

If you place 1st or 2nd in your class in a National Qualifier you are qualified for the rest of that year PLUS 2 more no matter how many times you compete in that range.

I think NPC allows you 2 years from the date you placed in the qualifier- some are near the end of the year. I was in this situation and did 2 shows the following 2 years- place 2004- did JrNats 05 and JrUSA 06.

The remaining of the year you qualify... plus 2 years...

Like if someone qualified in Sept 2003 at some state show.... would still be qualified to do the 2005 Nationals in November.
