Itinerary

A full itinerary will be released closer to competition day. We are working to finalize details with the Masters of Strength Festival, and some of the timeline is based on the number of registered athletes (which is not yet final).

If you’re looking for basic info to help plan travel, you can base it on the following:

• Weigh-ins and the mandatory rules meeting will be on Thursday, September 4th.
• Weigh-ins typically start in the morning (around 9-10am) for the lighter classes, and we have a later session before the rules meeting.
• The rules meeting is typically around 6pm and lasts about 1 hour.
• We recommend getting into town Wednesday (9/3) if you’re close on weight, or early in the day on 9/4 if you’re not (and don’t want to come into town early).
• We don’t have a final competition timeline, and won’t until we have a confirmed number of athletes.
• Awards will follow the last event on Saturday.
• We recommend all athletes plan to be in town through Saturday night (i.e plan to depart Sunday)… or stay in town, enjoy Vegas (see “Excursions” button below), and then join us for Amateur Nationals the following weekend!
