The Series serves as the pathway to gain the necessary skills and competence for draft-legal racing, and to qualify to compete in the draft-legal Youth and Junior divisions at the 2026 USAT Youth & Junior Nationals. There are 75 spots per gender in the respective divisions at Nationals awarded through this Series. Competition for these spots is steep as demand will exceed the number of available spots. Athletes qualify by finishing in the top 15 overall at a qualifier, excluding athletes already qualified and/or athletes representing other National Federations (including Dual Citizens representing another country).
