This may sound like a stupid question but I couldnt find an answer for it online. After 3yrs of training, I have gotten to a point where I really want to test myself in a meet. My question is, do I have to enter a meet with a group,club,team,etc? I havent met a group in my area yet(I met but they said there is a max of members?) but I dont want that to hold me back. Ive been lucky to learn alot from various sources so I want to test myself.[/quote]

I’ve never heard of people actually HAVING to lift in a team to do a meet, I mean there are options to do that at meets, but not mandatory.

OP, if this is your first meet, I think it’s best if you had someone with you when you go there, and be your handler.[/quote]

Well I never heard of having to compete in a team but someone misinformed me. Unfortunately, I dont have the luxury of having a handler but I know some guys around the area who will be attending so that will do. Honestly, Im not worried. Ive attended meets before; its just the signing up rules that I was confused about.

Shit, I wish I knew about that 100% RAW meet before. I’m doing my first meet this Saturday in Montreal. CPF is still CPF. They have a raw division, that’s part of why I picked this meet over the OPA one. I’m not sure if this is a CPF thing, or just for this meet, but it seemed like untested was the norm for them. You had to give six weeks notice and pay $75 for a testing kit if you wanted to set amateur records.[/quote]

Untested is the norm outside of nationals or any other specified “amateur” meet. Most of the people I know (myself included) lift in either one, depending on whatever the nearest meet is.
