“Does shooting in the Preliminary round of my state championship count as ‘participation’ as required for NSCA All-State Team eligibility?”
No, you must participate in the Main Event.
You can find all the requirements for All-State Team eligibility in the NSCA Rule Book, Section VII-C, Section VI-B-3, which is on page 28 of the current issue.
