2026 Quarterfinals Strategy Guide
High Level
OK! Quarterfinals are here and for many of us, our very best is needed to get us to the next stage. Know that this strategy guide is geared for this majority, but we believe there is value for every type of athlete coming into compete (Semi/Games shoe-ins and Entry-Level Quarterfinalists alike).
In the meantime, reading the details are key. Please familiarize yourself with the QF rules book here.
Some recommendations off the top:
Plan to video your workouts (to learn & confirm reps/scores)
Get a support crew (camera person, 1-2 trusted judges w/cert)
Clear your schedule (Thurs PM - Mon AM is our window to test)
Have a nutrition plan and food prepared for the 5-day test
Everything below this line will be dynamically updated as tests / news is released and we observe + experience athletes diving into them.
