Is it possible to get notice of the necessary qualifying times prior to the website going up? I've got a comp coming up soon and want to know what I should be aiming for.
Just get good times on everything and you shouldn’t have a problem :) you could always look at last years times and they should be around there.

You should be aiming to do your best.

The qualification times will be posted on the website when ready.

This is pure speculation, but assuming competitor limit might be similar to last year's and considering the popularity of speedcubing in US did not grow in 2017 as much as it did in 2015 and 2016 (judging by number of WCA competitors), I would say it is likely that qualifying times will only be a bit lower than last year.

Do you have to have official times that qualify for Nationals before registering? I haven't gone to a comp yet, but would love to register for NATS ASAP. I know I will qualify at a comp I'm going to in January, but I would love to register before it fills up.

Yes you will need to have official times before you register. You don't need to worry about it filling up though. Last year It filled up in May iirc.

How do you know? Doesn't it mostly work so that they remove people who didn't make the qualification time at a set date?
They did that for worlds and I forgot they did.

Then again, Worlds filled up in 1-2 weeks
But that was almost the same amount of people from the whole world. 1000 people in the world vs 800 people in the US.
