qualifying run
Preliminary race attempt
A qualifying run is a timed attempt to earn a position in a competition, particularly in racing and skiing.
Competitors complete the course individually, with their times determining starting positions or whether they advance to the main event: Her qualifying run put her in the top seed.
In video games, especially speedrunning, it refers to an attempt that meets the standard for official recognition or tournament entry.
