Session Breakdowns

If you are booking flight and travel accommodations, I recommend arriving 1 day before your weigh in date. With travel as an unpredictable variable, it is recommended you give yourself enough time to arrive in case of flight delays, cancellations, weather, etc. In addition, although we try our best to sort out all lifters in the same weight class and division evenly, we do have drops and withdrawals leading into the event which may cause some lifters to shift through flights, platforms, and possibly sessions within the same competition day.

PLATFORM ASSIGNMENT AND FLIGHTS WILL BE POSTED 1 WEEK OUT BUT ARE NOT FINAL UNTIL THE MORNING OF COMPETIITON.

SESSION ASSIGNMENTS WILL BE ANNOUNCED ONCE WE REACH REGISTRATION CAPACITY FOR EACH DAY AND NO LATER THAN SEPTEMBER 25TH (WHICHEVER COMES FIRST)
