Athletes attending the National Championships (representing their state as an All-State Team member) will receive a custom shirt signifying their All-State Team designation! Guidelines: Top two athletes will be determined by the actual times shot for each discipline at their respective State SASP match. Ties - If a tie occurs for final ranking, the In & Out (V for V if used) stage score will be used as the tie-breaker.

Times at the National Championships will be used from the athlete’s normal squadding with his or her team. Any ties will be broken as per the handbook and listed about using In and Out or V for V stage. This is NOT an HOA event! Athletes do not need to compete in all disciplines.
