In 2011, this event was one of the largest local, USAW sanctioned, weightlifting meet in the United States. In 2012, that will be no different. We are capping registration at 100 lifters for this event.
So please sign up early.
YOU MUST BE A USAW REGISTERED LIFTER TO COMPETE IN THIS MEET!!!!
This meet is an Olympic Weightlifting competition. The two lifts contested are the Snatch and the Clean and Jerk. You can enter this meet and compete as an individual or as part of your CrossFit Affiliate team. There will be awards for each weight class, as well as awards for the top three CrossFit Affiliates. All USAW rules will be followed. You must wear a weightlifting singlet, or if it is your first meet, you may wear tight fitting compression shorts and shirt.
You must wear appropriate footwear. You will not be able to wear Five Finger shoes or anything like them.
The Affiliate Competition will be contested with teams of up to eight men and seven women. We will be using the same system that is used at the USAW/CrossFit Open to determine the winner. Coaches must declare their teams prior to the start of the meet.
The women will lift on Saturday.
The men will lift on Sunday.
The weight classes for the men are:
| 56 kg | 62kg | 69kg | 77 kg | 85kg | 94kg | 105 kg | 105+ kg |
| 123.4 lbs | 136.4 lbs | 151.8 lbs | 169.4 lbs | 187 lbs | 206.8 lbs | 231 lbs | 231+ lbs |
The weight classes for the women are:
| 48kg | 53kg | 58kg | 63kg | 69kg | 75kg | 75+kg |
| 105.6 lbs | 116.6 lbs | 127.6 lbs | 138.6 lbs | 151.8 lbs | 165 lbs | 165+ lbs |
To be in a weight class you must weigh LESS than that amount. For example, a woman weighing 135 lbs is in the 63kg weight class. You will need to declare your weight class when you register, but you will be able to change it up to the weigh-in.
The lifting sessions will be determined after registration closes. We will most likely have 3+ sessions each day.
We look forward to seeing you at the event.
