?? about qualifying

[tammyp]

a friend is doing masters nationals. if she places top 5 she can only compete in say, north amercian masters, correct ? not open? so that is the only show she could do w/o a qual at an open show? this shit gets confusing.

[Suzanne]

What did she do to qualify for masters? just age? figure or bbing?

I would email Sandy cuz if you look at all the National show qualifications it gets confusing!
