(After consideration, it has been decided that it makes economic sense in many ways to run both events on the same day. Every consideration will be given to make sure all lifters are able to weigh in and lift comfortably, and the second event will follow after an intermission break to allow some who will be busy during the first competiton to be ready for their lifting. We think and hope this will be a positive change and wish everyone good luck as we look forward to a great day of competition.)
