It is one of the longest-running independent competitions in the sport and it has kept a broader entry base than most events at its level. Four divisions on one weekend means a masters athlete and a teenager can compete at the same event, which is not true of the majority of independent competitions we index.
We rate it 4 out of 5 for difficulty and 3 for prestige. It sits below the official season's championship events on prestige and roughly level with them on how hard the floor actually is.
Saint Cloud in late August is warm but not extreme. The competition runs indoors.
The teen and masters divisions are the reason a lot of gyms travel here as a group rather than sending one competitor. Running four divisions on one weekend is a scheduling problem most events avoid, and it is the main thing that distinguishes this one.
Entry is open rather than qualification-gated for most divisions, though the individual field has historically drawn a strong regional standard. Registration opens through the organiser in the first half of the year.
