- Since State meets and Regionals meets are the only meets to qualify for Raw Nationals, the QT achieved in the entered division at a Regional meet will qualify the athlete for that division’s 2026 National meet. American Records can be set at Regionals. Record database

- Only full meet, 3-lift competition is allowed, including adaptive athletes and the MX division.
