How to Qualify:
To qualify you must be one of the top 3 singers in the group of the night to advance to the playoffs. If you do not qualify on one night, there will be other nights at other establishments in which you can try to qualify. In trying to qualify you must pay an additional $5.00 entry fee for each time you compete in the qualifying round. All qualifying nights will be posted at local establishments, and will be promoted on COW 97 COUNTRY and 105.5 THE ZOO.
