Would a person new to powerlifting be able to attend this meet? The other beginner meets this summer are out of my timeframe. Thankyou
Yes, we will have spectator tickets available eventually.
Can you set state/national records at this meet?
Yes
How do spectators sign up to view the meet?
We’ll probably put that up early next month.
Why does the google form ask for our weight class if we will be doing weigh-ins the day before the meet?
Because we have to set the roster / flights ahead of time based on those weight classes.
Will there be a livestream?
Is there an equipment check in? If so, when?
