REGISTRATION WILL OPEN Feb 1, 2024
10% of the lifters will be drug tested at the event.
This event will be a 1 day, 2 session event. Sessions will not be set until after registration closes. (I will do my best to get the schedule to you as soon as possible after this date).
The roster can be found here
Session schedule is:
Session 1
Check in: 5:30am
Weigh In: 6:00am-7:30am
Lifting begins: 8:00am (I estimate lifting will finish around 1:00pm)
Session 2
Check in:12:30pm
Weigh In: 1:00pm-2:30pm
Lifting begins: 3:00pm ( I estimate lifting will finish approximately 8:00pm)
You will be allowed to change weight up until the event begins. However, if you do not make weight at weigh ins, you may not be moved into the flight of your actual weight class.
I will add links to the emails that go out to all athletes here as they get sent.
During this event, anyone in the warm-up area is required to be a current USA Powerlifting member. This includes coaches.
There is also a coaching pass that must be purchased prior to the event. The coaching pass is $50 (this includes the $20 entry fee). If the coach has more than one athlete in the session, they only need one pass. If the coach has athletes in both sessions, they will need a pass for each session. Raw athletes are allowed 1 coach to be in the warm-up area. Equipped athletes are allowed 2 coaches.
You might be thinking $50 seems steep for a coaching pass. The price is set to try to minimize the amount of people in the warm-up area. If you or your coach don’t want to pay the $50, that’s ok. The coach will be limited to the spectator area during the event.
I have included a link to purchase the pass. Coaching passes must be purchased no later than June 14th.
If you fail to purchase the pass by June 14th, you can get them at the door but they will be $80.
If your coach is also an athlete who is competing that day, they do not need to purchase a coaching pass.
