Boys qualify for this event by placing well in their district or train derbies. All districts may send up to 6 cars for craft and up to 6 cars for speed, regardless of how many trains they have, but districts with more than 6 active trains may send 1 car for each active train for craft and 1 car for each active train for speed. Trains that do not have a district race may send 1 car for craft and 1 car for speed.
