Everything You Need to Know Heading Into Soul 2014


Hello lifters!
On behalf of Team Soul and FWF, I would like to thank you for your unconditional support of the Florida State Weightlifting Championships/Soul Open!  
 
This year, we have reached our limit at 215 lifters!  As a result, we have chosen to extended and change our schedule to accommodate everyone.  Below will be a brief description of the weekends events.  
 
Friday- Vendor/Sponsor Mandatory Load In 11am-5pm
*Official scale will be at the venue today and will be available until 5pm. 
*Athletes and Coaches are more than welcome to come check weight and train as long as gear is set up.  
*If you want a guaranteed session, I would train at Soul.  We will be open from 9am-6pm on Friday. 
 
Saturday- First lift @ 9 am, Last session @ 7:20 pm
 
Sunday- First lift @ 9 am, Last session @ 7:30 pm
 
***Make sure to check the schedule for your weigh in time, it will be different.

Soul Open vs State Championships- If you are registered for State Championships, you are ALSO participating in the Soul Open.  This means you are eligible for cash prizes and medals in both States and Soul Open.  If you only registered for Soul Open, you are only up for medals and prizes for that event.  If you have a qualifying total at a FL meet and meant to register for States instead, plz respond to this email with your total and the event where you qualified.
