Hello Athletes!
This is the first of several emails that will go out to all athletes registered for the June 29th 2024 USA Powerlifting Northwest Regional event.
The first thing we need to go over is the weight class protocol for this event. This event is a qualifier for 2025 National events. For this reason, we will be using the weight class change protocol used for National events.
**Any change in nominated (registered) weight class must be made no later than 14 days prior to the first day of the meet. No weight class changes are allowed after the 14-day deadline. If a lifter fails to make weight for their nominated weight class at the meet, the lifter will be allowed to lift as a guest lifter and will lift with others in their originally nominated weight class.**
The last date to update your weight class for this event is June 14th at midnight. Send emails regarding weight class changes to me at dsnowpfz@gmail.com.
Due to the number of participants registered, this event has been changed to a one day, two session, two platform event. Following is the session schedule:
Session 1
Check-in: 5:30am
Weigh-in: 6:00am-7:30am
Lifting begins: 8:00am
Session 2
Check-in: 12:30pm
Weigh-in: 1:00pm-2:30pm
Lifting begins: 3:00pm`
At this time, there is a tentative roster listed on liftingcast.com. This will show you what session you are in (please look very carefully before sending me an email saying you don't see your name). I anticipate many weight class changes before the deadline, so the flights may change from what you see now.
I will let you know if I can get enough referees to have an optional early equipment check/rack heights the night before.
Please stay tuned to for more emails as we get closer to the event.
