NPC Empire Classic - Roster and Athlete Info

Dear athletes,

We're excited to have you join us for a fantastic Empire Classic in just under two weeks! The early entry deadline has passed and we're continuing to update the roster as late entries and changes come in. Changes will appear on the roster as we process them on our end.

Note that most classes that are marked "TBD" will be divided by height after check-in so don't be alarmed when you see a list of 30 athletes in one class.

We've had several questions over the weekend regarding classes so for a brief clarification, you may choose to enter any of the classes that you qualify for:

True Novice - You have never competed in the NPC before, in any category.

Novice - You have not placed 1st in your class within the division.

Masters - Open to anyone who meets the minimum age for the class (i.e. 47 can compete in 35+, 40+ and 45+).

Open - Anyone may enter here with no restrictions. Top 2 placings in each Open class qualify for Nationals.

If you would like to add a class, you can still do so via the registration form with no late fee until this Wednesday, 4/13. If you need to change a class you're already registered for, please email us with your request.
