how do you qualify for nationals (like 3x3)

 

[PetrusQuber]

I think you have to have set a certain time or below in another competition when you register for that event. After registration closes, they remove events people didn’t qualify for, e.g. I am sub 20, qualification is a sub 30 ao5, but I haven't been to a comp, so if
registration closes on me, and I haven’t achieved the sub 30 ao5 officially, I am removed from the list. Qualifying times are listed on the comp website.

I don’t think this is a fair way to qualify because there aren’t many comps where some people live so they miss out.

All you need to do for 3x3 is to have an official result at comp.

I don't think it needs to be recorded(filmed), doesn't it just need to be an official single that wasn't a DNF?


(Don't mind my crashing this Aussie-only thread)

Barwon for the Bush 2020: All registration fees go to communities affected by drought, flood or fire.
Sydney Autumn 2020: Finally another Sydney comp.
Twisting in Toowoomba 2020: Comp in Toowoomba, Queensland

 

[BenChristman1]

But for all other events as long as you've competed in a competition and gotten a solve before, you're all good!

Lucky Aussies. In US Nats last year, you had to have a 40-second average. It's no problem for me, but it stinks for anybody who lives close to the Nats venue, but averages higher than 40 seconds (let's be honest here, there won't be many people who average 35-40 seconds that will be traveling hundreds of miles to go to Nats).

Damn, Even though Barwon for the Buch is in Victoria, its ages away. Stinks if you live in Portsea or something (or though you could catch the ferry
