How to qualify?
You will be able to qualify for this event at ANY of our competitions, so long as you hold a WRPF UK Membership.
This also means you may qualify at our WRPF Novice events if you happen to hit the qualifying criteria and also hold a WRPF Membership.
If you hit the qualifying criteria at an IPL or A/BPU event whilst holding a WRPF UK membership and we can verify this on OpenPowerlifting then you will also be able to qualify on those platforms for our national event. Just like how you can use our platform, to qualify for theirs.
Qualifying Criteria , Qualifying Period & Space allocation
As we're now introducing this event for next year, we will allow all competitions from the WRPF Open back in May, forward, to act as qualifiers.
The qualifying period will end in September 2025 for the National Showdown in 2025.
Qualifying Criteria - Tested Division - Full Power
Qualifying Criteria - Untested Division - Full Power
Qualifying Criteria - Tested Division - Single Lifts
Qualifying Criteria - Untested Division - Single Lifts
Space Availability - This event will be a two day event with 60 spaces per day meaning 120 competitors may compete across the weekend.
However, this does mean spaces are limited and once the event is full, we're afraid it is full.
Entries for Nationals will go live every year from the 1st of October and will close once the event is full.
