One of my season goals for next year is to cat up to cat 2 early in the season (hopefully making cat 1 by the end of the year) and to do a couple mid-to-late season NCC races (and then be doing a bunch of NCC races the following year).
Some races do have qualifiers, like Iron Hill (NCC), but I've only seen them for the amateur races. How many move up depends on the race. It's all explained in the race flyer. The P/1 men's and P/1/(2) women's are typically not qualifier races. Some races have street sprints which are open races with qualifiers.
