early bird team Registration requirements

The following information will be REQUIRED to complete your Early Bird Registration:

  • Payment (As a team, you will submit one payment. It is up to the Team Captain to collect payments from the individuals)  

Individual Lifter Registration Completion

In the days following confirmation of your Early Bird Team Registration, a member of our WBC Committee will contact each of the lifters on your team via the contact information the team captain provided to complete the rest of their individual registration including their age division, weight class, competition, liability waiver.

To Register Multiple Teams

If you would like to register multiple teams, we will reduce the cost of additional teams to $1400.

If you do not have a complete team of 8, have those team members register when Individual Registration opens up October 20, 2024, 6pm. The event sells out quickly so they should register immediately.
