Following the second round of National Championship qualifying in Bolton, the qualification tables have now been updated across all eight classifications.
With three 2025 UK Champions already guaranteed places at the National Championship Finals, Alan Banks has become the first player to qualify through the points system after reaching the 25-point threshold. Two victories from two events see him move onto 30 qualifying points.
Rafael Young and Neil Pitchford are both closing in on automatic qualification. Rafael currently sits on 24 points, while Neil has accumulated 23 points, with both players still having one remaining qualifying event to play.
124 athletes have competed across the eight classifications in Cheltenham and Bolton. Full qualification tables, along with an explanation of the Qualification Points system, are available here.
The next opportunity for athletes to earn qualifying points will take place in Crawley on 13–14 June. Event details can be found here.
