Swipe across for important information about Nationals 2025!
The ZeroW Pro 2 can be used as a qualifier for APL Drug-Tested Nationals 2025!
Athletes will be sent an email prior to the event confirming if they wish to use this competition to qualify them for future DT events, if they wish to, they will be subject to testing on the day of competition (drug-tested athletes are subject to testing 365 days a year regardless of competition)
THE ZEROW PRO IS A NON TESTED EVENT AND SCORING WILL REFLECT THIS!
