Understand the flow from weigh-in to awards, including flights, warm-ups, commands, attempts, and what to bring.
Meet day feels busy because several timelines overlap. Your job is simpler: know the current flight, the attempt card, and when the next warm-up must happen.
Arrive to the organiser's schedule, complete weigh-in and equipment checks, submit required rack heights or openers, then find the warm-up area before the first flight begins.
[PH] Verify the exact sequence against the selected event's current rules before M9.
Each lift runs through flights and three attempts. Watch the board, communicate attempt changes within the allowed window, and warm up backward from your likely platform time.
After the final deadlift, confirm the result and any ceremony instructions before packing up. A calm finish is part of a well-run day.
