Hello Athletes!

This message will describe what will happen when you arrive for weigh-ins and throughout the day. Please read it completely. I will send another email in a few days for you to print and bring with you. It will give you a sort of check list on what to bring and walk you through all the steps of checking in.

 This event is being held at The Venue (10514 E Sprague Ave Spokane Valley, WA 99206). There are over 400+ parking spaces available around the venue.

Weigh ins will be by lot number. This number is random and assigned by the computer. Please arrive early and be available to begin your weigh in by your session's scheduled time. Please do not wait until the end of weigh in time to show up!

EVERY PERSON REGISTERED FOR THIS EVENT MUST HAVE A FORM OF PHOTO IDENTIFICATION WITH THEM FOR WEIGH INS. THIS MUST HAVE A PHOTO AND DATE OF BIRTH. YOUTH OR YOUNG TEENS MAY HAVE A COPY OF THEIR BIRTH CERTIFICATED IF THEY DO NOT HAVE A PHOTO ID.

When you arrive, proceed to the table with the "CHECK IN" sign. Here they will verify your USAPL Card if needed, pick up you meet shirt and swag bag. You MUST show your current USAPL card to the person at the check in table if it was not current at the time of registration (copy on your phone is fine but the number and expiration date must be visible). 

After you do this step, you will proceed to the "WEIGH IN" area. You'll need to know your first attempts in KG BEFORE you go in to weigh in. I recommend writing them down on a piece of paper or somewhere easily accessible or on your phone. EVERYONE competing will need your ID (something that shows your date of birth). If you are a teen or youth lifter without picture ID, you will need to bring a copy of your birth certificate.

Form a line and wait your turn to weigh in. You may weigh in wearing the underwear you will compete in, naked or in your singlet, t-shirt or singlet and t-shirt. A male will weigh in males and a female will weigh in females. Any lifter 13 years or younger must weigh in wearing their singlet and t-shirt (or just singlet). The referee will record your weight and all of your first attempts on your Lifters Card and you will initial the card. 

After you have weighed in, proceed to the "EQUIPMENT CHECK" table. Here, all of your lifting gear and attire will be inspected. Please DO NOT wear your singlet to the venue. It needs to be inspected and it is difficult to do this with you wearing it. If you are further down the line for weigh in's, you may do this before weighing in.

After you have completed all these steps, proceed to the lifting platform. Someone will be there to help you get your RACK heights for squat and bench. This is so we can set the bar up for your specific height. Your rack heights will be recorded on a sheet of paper.

After you have completed these steps, you can sit and relax, eat, drink or warm-up. There will be a rules briefing before each session.

We encourage all your loved ones and friends to come support you. But please make them aware there is a $20 fee (cash or Venmo only) to get in the door (this includes your coach if you have one). Children 12 and under are free. We will only be able to accept cash or venmo.

See you all Soon!!
