NPC National Competition?

[WannaBPowerful]

How do you qualify for NPC Nationals, and NPC USA's?

Do you have to qualify for Junior USA's and Junior Nationals? If so, how?

If you win Junior USA's or Nationals, does that qualify you for NPC Nationals and USA's?

Only way i know of to qualify for Nationals and USA's is by winning open overall at a national qualifyer correct? And that qualifies you for 5 years correct?

How is the competition from these levels as compared to a normal show?

To qualify for all 4 "national level" shows including Jr. USAs, Jr. Nationals, USAs, and Nationals, you have to place first or second in your weight class at a show designated as a national qualifiier (NQ). Once you qualify, you can compete in any of the 4 national shows for a period of 2 years plus the remainder of the year you qualified.

Yup.

National qualifiers are typically your state championship shows & regional shows.

Regarding competition vs. a "normal show", IMO state level competition is very good. National level: its un-fucking-real.
