Email #2 – 21 days out: changes to weight classes, schedule and hotels.


There will be no more changes to weight class, lifting category or age group after 11:59pm tonight.

I believe I have updated everyone that has emailed me so far, but please verify this on the roster.

There have been enough changes to weight classes that I anticipate schedule changes for Friday and Saturday. Sunday should remain unaffected.
The schedule will be finalized this weekend and include day, session and flight.

If you can no longer compete please let me know.
