We can't wait to
see you on the platform!
Spotters/Loaders Needed!

A powerlifting meet can only run efficiently with good spotters/loaders. To make this event run as safely and quickly as possible, we need your help! If you know anybody who would like to volunteer for this event to spot/load, please send us an email or message us on social media (links in bottom of this email). NOTE: Volunteers for this meet will receive a 50% discount on a future meet entry, a free Calloso t-shirt, and food/drink will be provided.
First Time Lifter?

Is this your first time competing? If so, take a moment to look at our First Meet Tips page on our website! This will help you know what to expect on meet day.
Spectators & Coaches

To keep total attendance low, we are asking that athletes only bring up to 2 total people with them. This means that a lifter can bring 2 spectators, OR 1 coach/handler and 1 spectator. No athlete can have more than 1 coach/handler with them in the warm up area. No credentials will be required for coach verification. 3DFIT Arena will be selling spectator passes for $10.
Flight Assignments

This event will have 2 flights and 2 platforms. Flights will be finalized 2 weeks out from the event. Please submit weight class or division changes before then to ensure you are in the same flight with your competitors.

Weight Class Changes & Withdrawals

If you need to change your weight class or division before the meet, please do so by sending us an email. To ensure that you are placed in the same flight as your competitors, you must do this by Wednesday, July 15. Changes can be submitted after this, but your flight will not change.

If you would like to transfer to another event or withdraw from the meet, you can also send us an email. If you are uncomfortable with following the social distancing guidelines below, we recommend taking a meet credit for an event in the future when these guidelines are no longer in place. Please keep in mind that absolutely no refunds will be issued so long as this event is not cancelled.
