Well, that's 3 trophies for 8 people in most cases for individual events and
they've gone through some elimination process to get to the final group. So
you have to have true qualifying events/heats - probably way to much time to
do at nationals so it would have to be at the Divisionals or Tours. Each
Region has a qualifying event, top x many goes to Nats for semi-finals and
finally the top 8 run for the trophies. I think I prefer the current
system, especially since for most of us, going to Nats is a lot more than
just the few minutes we spend actually competing. IMHO
