The qualifying period is from October 1\, 2024 to March 31\, 2026. Eligible events can be found via the Powerlifting United Events Calendar. \nYou can review the Open Division Qualifying Totals here: 2026 Powerlifting United Qualifying Totals \nYouth\, Juniors\, Sub-Masters\, Masters\, Gender Neutral\, and Single Lift categories will have a standard 75kg minimum total requirement. \nThere will NOT be an Open Registration period for the 2026 Powerlifting United Nationals\, and everyone must have a qualifying total within the qualifying period to register. \nPlease verify the weight class you are registering for before submitting your registration. Lifters may move up a weight class before the May 1\, 2026 deadline as long as the qualifying total is met. If a lifter is looking to move down a weight class from what is registered\, you must requalify at a Powerlifting United Sanctioned Event first. The deadline to change your weight class for this competition is May 1\, 2026. \nDO NOT REGISTER IF YOU DO NOT ALREADY HAVE A QUALIFYING TOTAL ON OPEN POWERLIFTING. YOUR REGISTRATION WILL BE REMOVED\, AND THERE ARE NO REFUNDS. \nEntry Fees\, Payment Information\, and Refund Policy:\n$195 per lifter (T-shirt included) with a $45 crossover fee for additional events. \nPayment of entry fees will be done via Stripe. \nYou will receive an email confirmation after your payment has been processed. \nThere will be NO REFUNDS for any reason. \nOnce you’ve paid\, you’ll get an email confirmation and see your entry on the Lifting Cast roster. \nOnce the event fills or registration closes one month out (whichever comes sooner)\, we’ll determine which day each lifter will compete and email you a more updated schedule. \nOne week before the event\, we will email you again with more information\, including the session in which you will compete. \nFlights may change all the way up until the night before the event due to lifters not making weight or failing to show up for the event. Please check the roster before arriving. \nPowerlifting United Membership:\nAn active Powerlifting United Membership is NOT required to register; however\, athletes must have an active Powerlifting United Membership by the time of weighing in. It may be purchased online before or at weigh-ins. Powerlifting United Membership is good for one year from the date of purchase. \nA Powerlifting United Membership can be purchased at https://members.powerliftingunited.com/ \nWeigh-Ins:\nFriday- 05/15/2026 \nAll lifters competing on Saturday will weigh in to adhere to the 24-hour weigh-in procedure. Times will be announced once the lifting schedule is finalized. \n**NO EVENING OR COMPETITION DAY WEIGH-INS** \nSaturday- 05/16/2026 \nAll lifters competing on Sunday will weigh in to adhere to the 24-hour weigh-in procedure. Times will be announced once the lifting schedule is finalized. \n**NO EVENING OR COMPETITION DAY WEIGH-INS** \nAll lifters will receive a free weekend spectator pass. Lifters may arrive early to spectate. All other spectators are required to purchase daily or weekend passes. \nAll weight classes must be finalized via email by May 1\, 2026. Missing the weight range of your selected weight class will put you in the guest lifter category\, and you will not be eligible for awards at this event. \nEvent Day Schedule:\nSimilar to the 2025 Powerlifting United National Championships\, we will announce the schedule of events (i.e.\, which weight classes are competing on which days) once the event fills or registration closes one month out (whichever comes sooner).
