[tatortotajigalo]

does anyone know where you can find the qualifying totals for being the USAPL/IPF world team for the USA. preciate it.

You have to win your class at Nationals to go to worlds, not hit a qualifying total.

Edit-There may be some estoteric rules about hitting a certain average total relative to results in your class, dig around here

thanks but you have to qualify to get to nats, and if you hit that qualifying total at nats and win because you were the onyl one, you wont make it to worlds. so dont you have to atleast have some qualifying to do to get to worlds?

they invite the lifter with the highest total from the nationals meets

there are to national meets in which a highschool lifter could compete..teen/jr nationals or highschool nationals

they invite the lifter with the highest total

same with college nationals/teen/jr nationals

as fars as mens goes im not quite sure but i would think that if you have the highest total for you age division at a national meet the spot is yours

there is no set total you must achieve

[Johnn999]

dont u have to qualify for nationals, like you have to have a set total or higher before you can even go? I was going to go to nationals but my coach had to forget the qualify forms >.<

You have to hit a minimal total to go to worlds in the open division regardless if you win nationals or not. For instance lets say Wade Hooper bombs @ 165 and lets say for some odd reason the winning total is like 1500. You will not qualify for worlds. Not sure about teen division though, I don't think they have a standard besides winning nationals.

On a side note good luck to everyone at men's nationals this weekend. It's going to be interesting!
