Helpful Tips & Important Items to Remember
1- Be sure to pay close attention to the weather in Wisconsin and dress appropriately and pack clothes according to weather. It is very unpredictable in the early spring in Wisconsin. It could be in the 60's or we could have snow and 20's. Here is a link to get the local weather

2-ALL lifters MUST have a form of ID with them during registration and it may be used to verify your identity for drug testing. Acceptable forms of ID are -
School ID
Drivers License
Temporary License or State Picture ID
NOTE - IF YOU PLAN TO BREAK AN AMERICAN RECORD YOU WILL NEED A COPY OF YOUR BIRTH CERTIFICATE. THIS IS CRUCIAL ALONG WITH OTHER FORMS OF ID TO VALIDATE YOUR IDENTITY.
3- Lifters MUST wear knee high socks while deadlifting. There are no exceptions to this rule.
4- You must purchase a USAPL Membership to lift at this meet. You can purchase your membership at the contest or you can download the form on this web page by clicking on USAPL Rules. Download the PDF file and send in your fee. Other option is to register on USAPL's web page and be sure to print the receipt to verify you paid and completed the form on-line.
5- You will be issued a wrist band based on the session you are lifting in. DO NOT remove the wrist band just because you have finished lifting. That wrist band is what will get you back into the meet venue to spectate.
6- Dont waste time wrapping your knee wraps ahead of time - they will be unrolled anyways for inspection - this will save you alot of time. If your team plans to use alot of belts get them checked in ahead of time - once they are stamped approved, they are approved the entire meet (same with knee wraps).
7- If you are coming as a school, remember to use your respective schools tax exempt status for lodging, airfare, etc...
Badges – Coaches / Vendors / Media
Coaches - All lifters are allowed up to 2 complimentary coaches badges regardless how large or small the team. You must purchase additional passes for coaches at the rate of 15.00 per coach / per pass beyond 2 coaches.
EX - So if for example you have 5 coaches it would cost you 45.00 for the 3 necessary coaches passes. NOTE- Coaches passes are marked on the back with your teams name so please DO NOT transfer them to other coaches. Security knows to look at the back to ensure the coach pass is for your respective team.
Failure to comply with coaches pass rules will result in the individual(s) purchasing admission as a spectator and banning them from coaching duties. The pass rule will be strictly enforced at all times by meet security.
Vendors & Media – All vendors will wear badges with the name of their respective business they are representing. Media will also wear a badge that will say MEDIA in bold letters on the front of it. These badges will act as a credential to get them access over the whole weekend.
