FORMAT

One set of qualifiers, two opportunities to qualify! We have teamed up with the French Throwdown for the Qualifying Stages; this is your chance to sign up to both events, take on just one set of qualifiers and have the opportunity to secure a space at both events. 

We know that a busy month of qualifiers can affect your training schedule; that’s why we at SiD UK Champs and the French Throwdown have joined forces. If you want the chance to qualify for both events you can now;

- Sign up to each event via Competition Corner*
- Take on the qualifiers throughout March & April (April & May for teams)
- Submit your scores separately for both events
- You are then in with a chance of qualifying for both!

*To take on both events, athletes are required to sign up and pay the two qualifier fees, one for each event and submit their qualifier score twice, i.e one on the French Throwdown submission page and one on the SiD UK Champs submission page. N.B the deadline submission dates are different for both events
