Lifters who applied for an exemption or formally withdrew from the competition are not eligible to lift;
Athletes must lift in the same bodyweight category that they nominated at VOE;
Lifters may adjust their entry total if needed, up until 1200 Thursday 16th September.
Athletes who know that they will be unable to compete please notify the QWA via email qwa@qwa.org by 1st September of their intention to withdraw from the event.

A new request for Volunteers and Technical Officials will be circulated at or around the 1st September. Lifters preferences for volunteering from their original competition registration will be factored into this.
