- The List + UTT entrants

Defending Champion
[1 pilot]
The previous year’s champion will be invited to defend their title. This invitation allows the Champion to participate at the National Championship without attending any regional qualifier or final. Automatically advances to Fast 56.

The List [30 pilots] &
UTT [30 pilots]
These two groups of entrants have a more difficult entry into the championship finals. There are 30 spots that will be filled by the pilots on “The List”. The List is comprised of all the pilots who attended a regional final. This list is sorted by best 3/5 rounds at a regional final. There are up to 30 spots that will be filled by UTT entrants.

Pilots must qualify by placing two UTT times under the following thresholds:
- UTT 1 < 11.5 seconds
- UTT 2 < 8.5 seconds
- UTT 3 < 8.5 seconds
- UTT 4 < 10 seconds
- UTT 5 < 7 seconds
Pilots from the UTT and “The List” will participate in a combined, 3 round race, on-site at the championship in order to determine the 12 that advance into the Fast 56 Round.[/vc_column_text][vc_empty_space height=”64px”][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row css_animation=”” row_type=”row” use_row_as_full_screen_section=”no” type=”full_width” angled_section=”no” text_align=”center” background_image=”16616″ background_image_as_pattern=”without_pattern”][vc_column][vc_empty_space height=”128px” el_class=”hidden-xs”][vc_empty_space height=”64px” el_class=”hidden-desktop”][button size=”big_large” style=”white” target=”_self” hover_type=”enlarge” text=”View Qualifier Schedule” link=”http://mgpdev.madroneracing.com/championships/us-national/regional-schedule/” color=”#ffffff” background_color=”#8d181b” border_color=”rgba(0,0,0,0.01)”][vc_empty_space height=”64px” el_class=”hidden-desktop”][vc_empty_space height=”128px” el_class=”hidden-xs”][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row css_animation=”” row_type=”row” use_row_as_full_screen_section=”no” type=”full_width” angled_section=”no” text_align=”left” background_image=”16592″ background_image_as_pattern=”without_pattern”][vc_column][vc_empty_space height=”128px” el_class=”hidden-mobile”][vc_empty_space height=”64px” el_class=”hidden-desktop”][action full_width=”no” type=”normal” text_font_weight=”500″ show_button=”yes” button_size=”big_large” button_text_color=”#8d181b” button_background_color=”#000000″ button_text=”Join (Its Free)” button_link=”https://www.multigp.com/register/” background_color=”rgba(0,0,0,0.45)” button_border_color=”rgba(0,0,0,0.01)” button_hover_background_color=”#8d181b” button_hover_text_color=”#ffffff”]Welcome to the world’s largest drone racing league.
