qualifying, 30,000 participants (12,000 Professionals &amp; 18,000 Student\/Apprentices) competed in over 500 qualifying round events. In the end, only 145 competitors made it to the championship week in Tampa, Florida. The competitors were competing for championship titles and a chance at their share of the $180,000 in prize money. Prize money is broken into 1<sup>st, <\/sup>2<sup>nd<\/sup> and 3<sup>rd<\/sup> place for both Professionals and Student\/Apprentices.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:30px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>Chip Wade was back to host his 7<sup>th<\/sup> year of the Nationals. He is an Emmy winning television host and producer, HGTV designer, owner, and lead designer of Wade Works Creative. He was accompanied by Scott Caron who is a licensed Master Electrician. Scott is the President of Caron Electric and worked on This Old House, Seasons 9 through 16. He has continued to expand his presence with the IDEAL National Championship and played a vital part in developing this year\u2019s pro final round challenge.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:30px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>A welcome reception was held, with opening remarks and dinner on November 3<sup>rd<\/sup> for the competitors and their families.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:30px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>Day One of the competition began on Friday November 4<sup>th<\/sup> at 8:15 am. The competitions were broken down into Pros round 1, heat 1 &amp; 2 along with Apprentice round 1, heat 1 &amp; 2. During these heats there were 70 participants in each division with only 30 advancing to the next round. Advancements were announced at 3:45 and the next round of competition was underway.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:30px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>Chip Wade began announcing advancements to the semi-finals at 7:40 pm. The 30 student\/apprentices and the 30 professionals were gathered on stage, anticipating which 10 in each division would be competing in the semi-finals. Nervousness and anticipation were apparent as they waited to hear the names to be called.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:30px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>November 5<sup>th<\/sup> was the big day- the winners would be announced and we\u2019d all find out who was going to take home money and titles. Would Anthony Kovalchick defend his 2021 title of the National Championship Professional winner? Or would Greg Anliker 3x champion, Roman Ryszewski 2017 winner, Seth Agnew 2x top 3 finisher take it this year? They all advanced to the semi-finals, so it was anyone\u2019s guess.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:30px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>Semi-finals started at 8:30 am for both the Professionals and the Student\/Apprentices for each 45-minute round. Chip Wade again gathered the students\/apprentices to announce those who would advance to the finals. He calls out Emma Becker (first female to advance to finals), Jordan Finfrock 2019 champion, Elliot Phillips 2021 2<sup>nd<\/sup> place winner, Luis Sanchez, and Hermen Vasquez. Then he gathers the professionals for their advancement to finals, Greg Anliker, Tom Kennedy, Anthony Kovalchick, Albert Nadeau, &amp; Josh Tower.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:30px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>After all the finalists were called, Chip Wade hit us with a surprise. The 5 professionals and the 5 student\/apprentices who did not advance would be given a second chance at the cash prize. They would be randomly paired to compete together in a team challenge. The name plates of the apprentices were placed on the ground upside down and Chip called each professional one by one to pull a name. The teams chosen were Seth Agnew &amp; Justin Frick, Oscar Perez &amp; David Collier, Roman Ryszewski &amp; Brady Wraalstad, Lance Giesbrecht &amp; Wyatt Allen, Alec Perkins &amp; Thomas Ladd.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:30px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>After the Teams, Apprentices and Professionals completed their final rounds of the competition, it was time for the much-anticipated Award Announcements.
