The 2024 NFR Open format
The tournament-style NFR Open determines the national circuit champions in each event.
All 27 qualifiers from 13 circuits plus Mexico compete in the two long rounds with nine teams in each of the performances. The top three from each pool, based on an aggregate in each pool, advance to the clean-slate Championship Round, with all previous times thrown out. This sudden-death round determines the national circuit champion in each event.
Playoff Series implications
While the NFR Open will not count toward the 2024 Playoff Series standings, the winners of the NFR Open will automatically qualify to the 2024 NFR Playoff Series Finale in Puyallup, Washington, in September.
Circuit champions
The year-end circuit champion and the circuit finals average winners from each circuit (13 year-end champs and 13 average champions) plus the national champions from Mexico will compete at the NFR Open.
