1st and 2nd Year National Championships at Woodward Academy

2024 — Atlanta, GA/US

Schedule

Notes:

- LD and PF are flighted — policy is not.

- We will single-flight LD and PF elims as we can, and the schedule will be accelerated accordingly.

- If events require fewer than four elimination rounds, we will condense accordingly.

- New for 2024: all elimination rounds are on Sunday due to overwhelming prior feedback from coaches. All judges are obligated through the end of the first full elimination round in that event.
