98.231.132.79Glad to hear things seem to be shaping up well.
Even though you (Al) seem to have a leg up because you have your own trophy company, I have always thought you should require the entry forms and fees earlier. This one is due on the 6th, only 5 days before a big meet.
You have me beat by a margin of 1,000 to 0 in experience running meets, so I can hardly give advice. I guess the bottom line is that you can handle it, so that's what matters.
I probably have as many excuses as anyone for delaying registration.
First, I'm older, and tend to be paranoid about getting hurt and not being able to lift. Today will be my last real bench day before the meet, and I'm still holding my breath about my sore shoulder. Well, actually, squats bother my shoulder at least as much as benching, and I still have to squat this Saturday.
Also, my finaces are not great, so forfeiting an entry fee is not something I look forward to.
But I managed to fork over the entry fee in late May. I have the advantage of entering only 1 category, so it was only $55. Anyway, I suggest that lifters try to get their entries in earlier in the future just to help the organizers.
