Sample of One Session vs Two Session Event

One session
- A one-session event of 60 lifters will take approximately 9 hours
- You need 5 referees in total
Two session
- Use this when you have more than 60 lifters
- You’ll need approximately 2-3 more referees
- Session two will weigh in and do equipment check while session one is still lifting

Example of 75 lifter event with two sessions

38 athletes in the morning session and 37 in the afternoon session
38 lifters will take approximately 6 hrs (38×9=342, (342+20)/60=6.03 hrs)
- Approximately 1 minute for each lift = 342 minutes. Add 20 minutes for the platform change between events = 362 minutes. Divide 362 by 60 minutes to get 6.03 hours)

Assume your morning session will start at 9:00 am and end at 3:00 pm. Your afternoon session will start at 3:30 pm and will end at approximately 9:00 pm (37×9=333, (333+20)/60=5.88hrs).

The speed at which your event runs depends on

Having an efficient platform crew (spotters & loaders)
Having knowlegable scoring table staff
Having educated lifters that know how the flights run (back to back)
Having technical issues will cost time and bring the competition to a halt

Upload images or information on the prospective competition venue or of past competitions you have hosted.
