There are a couple of ways to answer this.
First, the most common ubers are two and three gag track ubers. A two gag track would have throw and squirt with 15 or 16 laff. The three gag track would have throw, squirt and either toonup or sound at 25 laff.
There are also four track ubers with 34 laff running around.
They work to finish at the laff level they wish to be and then work gags, maxing them while staying at the laff. A three track uber would finish TTTC playground at 25 laff and not take anymore task, instead working on getting their gags maxed. A four track uber would stop working task after Donalds Dock and work gags.
Hope this helps.

Just adding...never be afraid to board with a low laff with great gags. You will find some of the best teamwork amongst ubers.

Rats... I guess Expresso really doesn't qualify as an uber... she made it through DD, but fished a little too much to end up at 36. Maybe I'll just call her a "smaller toon."

My uber only has 15 laff pts but 5 throw and 4 squirt so far. Would she qualify as an uber?

I would classify your toon as an urber - uber in training. Keep it up though. Sounds like you are doin' great!

Sure she does! A sell uber is under 50 laff. Math is not my thing but I THINK 36 is less than that!

Supernoob is 25 or under and is in sell, although a lot of people like to call them ubers X.x
Uber's have all tracks but lowest laff possible and is usually a cash uber.

Ah, excellent! For some reason I was thinking she had to be under 35 (just like I'd like to be again....) lol!

Sell Ubers - 50 laff or less - not counting HW Laff boost.
Cash Ubers - 80 laff or less has sort of been the guide line - not count RB laff boost. I believe with lots of Luck you can get at low as 72 since the "fix" which required laff gain...there are some rare 60 something laff toons that can CFO and have a Key.
IMHO the trend is to keep them as low as possible vs taking on the additional Laff in Daisy Garden. My parent rescued toon turned Uber already had a laff boost from Fishing so he will finish at 40 laff with his key and 4 maxxed gag tracks. The "perfect" 4 track uber would have ended up at 39 laff with a key.
It is my uunderstanding that the CCG group voted that they would like ubers in training to have at least max Throw and Squirt before attending the Uber Only runs.

Expresso has the cream pie and the hose. I definitely agree with the maxed throw and squirt for her before any uber only runs. Her lure stinks so far! lol! I might try a TTF run pretty soon (especially since poor Goliath is stuck on a 5500  ).

GO FOR IT!
I started running my ubers (open & test) when they had level 5 throw and squirt. I think level 5 is all you really need if you use the 3 pies / hoese wisely...you shouldn't have a problem especially if there is a full elevator....heck there are a good number of 50 to 60 plus laff toons that only have level 5 throw and squirt. Once you hit the 6000 mark it is smooth sailing.
