Since 2016, USA Powerlifting Regional Championships has been the place to go for a National level competition experience close to home.

Beginning in 2025, achieving a USA Powerlifting Raw National qualifying total requires competing in a sanctioned state, regional, pro, or national meet from January 1 of the preceding year up to the entry deadline of the National competition.

In other words, an athlete who achieves a total at a 2024 Regional Championship that meets or exceeds their required 2025 USA Powerlifting Raw Nationals qualifying total will be eligible to enter 2025 Raw Nationals.

 

High-Level Summary:

• Only USA Powerlifting state members within the Region can compete in their designated Regional Championship. Guest lifters (i.e., lifters from a state outside of the region) are allowed but not eligible for awards. Guest lifters may set state and National records and may earn a qualifying total for a national meet. Guest lifters are subject to all normal rules of competition and must meet the same qualifying criteria to enter.
• The top 3 placings in any division that requires a qualifying total at Raw Nationals and Open Nationals will be awarded a +50kg handicap that will be applied to their total. The total achieved at Regionals plus the +50kg handicap must be equal to or greater than the Qualifying Total (QT) for the Raw/Open National meet that the lifter enters.
• Any handicapped total achieved at a 2023 Regional meet that is greater than or equal to the QT for Raw or Equipped Nationals will allow the athlete entry into 2024 USA Powerlifting Raw or Equipped Nationals.
• The QT for Regionals is 75kg. The QT must have been achieved at a USA Powerlifting sanctioned 3-lift meet since January 1 of the previous year.
• 2024 Regionals will consist of 7 Regions. We have combined the Central and Midwest Regions.
• National or higher referees must officiate as Chief Referees.
• Eligible referees who have met all the requirements and been approved by the Technical Committee can take the practical National Referee test. Requirements for testing can be found here: REFEREE TESTING: REQUIREMENTS & PROCEDURES MANUAL
• A 3-member jury must consist of, in order of priority, category 1, category 2, and national referees.
• National Records can be set at a Regional Championship providing there are 3 National or higher referees judging the lift.
• Only open and age divisions are allowed, including Adaptive Athletes and MX division. Only full meet, 3-lift competition is allowed.
• All equipment that meets USA Powerlifting technical standards is allowed.

Thank you for your continuing support as we work hard to accommodate the unprecedented growth of USA Powerlifting with higher-level, more accessible, regional meets.
