BD Question: what does 'W' stand for

[Chwee]

Hi all,

Quick question as I am a numpty! What does 'W' stand for in a class name? There's no 'Q' (Qualifier)...

Class 5: Elementary W ??

Advice appreciated.

Thanks
Ax

It is a non-qualifier.

Last year you could have one qualifier (WQ) and one non-qualifier (W) to get through to the Regionals. However, it is now two qualifiers.

It also stands for the 'winter' season, in summer season you'll have just S for non qualifier classes and SQ for qualifiers x

So what's the difference between the two classes? Is there any difference in entry qualifications?

No, but if you win a non-qualifier it won't count towards qualification for the regionals under the current rules as they require you to win 2 qualifiers.

Usually the non-qualifiers are a smaller class as some competitors will only do the qualifiers to avoid clocking up points unnecessarily.
