FAQs
Q: Can I change weight class?
A: No, not at this stage. Weight class changes are not accepted once the deadline for entry forms passes (five weeks out). This is to allow us to organise flights, etc.
Q: Can I change club?
A: No, not at this stage. You may remove your club but you cannot change to a new club at this point.
Q: Can I change my openers?
A: Yes. You will be asked for your openers at weigh-in on the morning of the competition. You can change them once more for each lift until three minutes / three attempts prior to the start of your flight in that lift.
