Qualifying time
WA Labeled/AIMS Certified Competition Standard Default — No entry based on timing (general registration).
Default category values are based on the structural characteristics of the WA label/AIMS certified competition group (there is no record qualification system except for major competitions) rather than checking the official website for individual competitions.
When a competition that actually has a qualification system is discovered, this value will be overwritten with the individual survey results.
