Yes, it will be the same events. We realize that this may mean the youngest and smallest competitors may not have the strength or hand size required to compete in all four events.

Thank you.

Thank you both! Bombing out in one event is acceptable. 3 out of 4 will be able to load light enough for my little one.

The good thing about kids is that they grow! :) While they may not be as competitive this year or next, eventually they'll be in the upper age range of the bracket.

I’m planning on competing in this competition. I’m looking forward to getting back in the competition mode after a very long lay off.

What city is the Colorado leg of King Kong going to be? It's a fairly short plane ride for me for most of the state but I couldn't find any other information when trying to search to register.

Given that many promoters have younger kids who are interested in taking part, we will be splitting up the 10 years and under category into 7 years and under and 8 to 10 years. So this means the classes will be

Boys 7 and under
Boys 8-10
Boys 11-13
Boys 14-15
Boys 16-17
Girls 7 and under
Girls 8-10
Girls 11-13
Girls 14-15
Girls 16-17

Just a reminder that the kids classes will be offered at the discretion of individual venue promoters. Please confirm ahead of time with your venue to if the division will be offered.

Does the Rehband neoprene/Velcro soft belt fall under the allowable lifting belts? I’ve been wearing one to keep my back warm while training. 

I do not believe there are any restrictions on belts.

210 last year. It goes up every year. With the addition of a youth division, more women’s classes, and more venues this year, I’m confident we’ll hit 250+.
