One day I calculated the safe time for alternating squat rounds (flights A and B), the time required to change the equipment on the platform for the bench press rounds, plus all that and the deadlift rounds. I summed the operational arrangements time and came to the “golden” number of 30 lifters per platform, per day.<\/p>\n

By simple deduction, we would have 90 lifters per platform, per day, for a single lift event.<\/p>\n

Amazingly, that was the same conclusion reached by the RUM organizers. Also, 400-500 lifter Worlds by kosher federations require 4-5 days, on two simultaneous platforms. That means that counting the single lift events and the full power events together, we have an average of 50 lifters per day, per platform.<\/p>\n

Following these numbers, a 60-120 lifter meet somewhat comes even with registrations: organizers won’t lose, but won’t really profit, unless they can make major cuts in operational costs, venue rental, etc.<\/p>\n

A 400-1000 lifter two to four platform competition may be highly profitable. I have never seen more than two platforms. In thesis, it can be done. I don’t know of any kosher fed that can spare 12 certified referees at all times. Getting six good judges sitting on their chairs for 5 to 7 days is pretty hard, already.<\/p>\n

There are no miracles in powerlifting. For a kosher meet, you need:<\/p>\n

– three certified referees sitting on their chairs at all times for each platform<\/p>\n

– 12 to 16 staff people per day, for each platform<\/p>\n

– organizational power to get all this ready for the days of the meet<\/p>\n

If I learn that a certain (national or whatever) competition was carried out during a weekend, on one platform with over 200 lifters, I do the math: something had to be sacrificed in order for that to happen. If I hear there were 1000 lifters, then I am 100% sure it wasn’t kosher. Something had to be sacrificed and that was probably:<\/p>\n

– rules and procedures<\/p>\n

– refereeing quality<\/p>\n

If I learn that most lifters were happy, then I need no further proof that the meet was bogus and a lot of gift-lifts were given out.<\/p>\n

There is no magic, no miracle, no negotiation with the “time master”. That is what it takes to make a kosher competition. All else is bogus.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
