SPECTATOR & COACH ENTRY
Spectators will be allowed into the vendor and competition room starting at TBD on November 8th & 9th.
Lifters will be allowed 1 person to assist them. This is to keep the warm-up room from being overpopulated with extra bodies. Anyone not credentialed to be in the warm-up room will be asked to leave and go to the spectator section. Security personnel will be present at the entry point, and monitors will be stationed inside the warm-up room to verify the correct wristbands.
