Sample Registration Form

 

This is a sample registration form for powerlifting competitions run by the BCPA. It's intended to help you become familiar with the information you'll need when registering for a competition. Since most of our competitions reach the registration limit within minutes of opening, your ability to fill out the registration form quickly will determine whether you get a roster spot or end up on the wait list.

Please note that this registration form is for BCPA-run competitions. Registration forms for competitions sanctioned by BCPA may look different, although the information you need will be the same.

By Entering This Competition You Agree to the Following:

All entry fees are non-refundable unless the competition is cancelled.

This is a drug-tested competition. You must have completed the CCES TrueSport module prior to the date of competition.

Bring government-issued picture ID along with your printed CPU card and printed CCES TrueSport certificate to present to the weigh-in official.

Each lifter will be limited to 1 coach or handler.

Only lifters, coaches, handlers, and volunteers are permitted in the warm-up area.

All athletes are required to follow the BCPA Return to Play Plan that is in place at the time of competition. The Return to Play Plan is published on our website and is subject to changes as the British Columbia updates its health restrictions and guidelines for sport.⁠

PERSONAL INFORMATION

***Full legal name as it appears on your government-issued ID must be used. Failure to use your legal name may result in anti-doping sanctions against you. If you have a different name you live by, you will be able to enter it on the next page. Only write your legal first and last names here.***

ANNOUNCER INFORMATION

This information will be used by our announcers during the competition.

MEMBERSHIP INFORMATION

Your CPU membership must be current on the date of registration. You will be required to present your CPU membership card and government-issued photo ID at the competition. If you do not have a valid CPU membership card on the day of the competition then you will not be permitted to compete. If you do not have a government-issued photo ID that shows your birthdate then you will be entered into the Open age class.

Purchase a CPU membership here.

Note that your CPU membership must be current on the date of registration. If you don't have a membership yet, or it's expired, but you don't want to purchase a membership until you're sure that you got into a competition (because memberships are non-refundable), then you can try to register for the competition first. If you are able to submit payment information on the last page, then you have secured a roster spot and you MUST purchase a CPU membership immediately. Failure to have a valid CPU membership on the day registration will result in your entry being revoked and refunded, and your roster spot will be given to a registrant on the wait list.

To maintain your CPU membership in good standing and to compete, members are required to complete the CCES True Sport Clean module specific to the CPU. Certificates for the untracked version of the True Sport Clean module, or for any sport other than powerlifting, will not be accepted.

Complete the CCES TrueSport Module here.

This module must be completed by April 14, 2023.
