Monster's money bench

At the USPC, we like to think outside the box. While the Monster's Money Bench is not a fully original idea to USPC, we have been inspired by Rob Forell and have created a bench only money meet that will be held on Sunday, August 25th in Parkersburg, WV. This meet is open to all lifters; however, all payouts will be based on the DOTS formula, with no age adjustment. State, National and All-Time World Records will be available. 

This USPC meet, will feature a Bench Press Only total consisting of the lifters best attempt in Raw, Single Ply & Unlimited!

Equipment:
*F-8 Custom 25kg Bench Bar for all Bench Press
*DynaBody Competition Bench
*Competition bars and kilo set in warm up area

Rules & Format:

• Lifters will work to establish a 3-lift total in Raw, Single-Ply and Unlimited gear.
• Lifters cannot use more than 5 attempts TOTAL to establish their bench total.
  • For example: a lifter may choose to take 1 attempt in Raw, 2 attempts in Single-Ply and 2 attempts in Unlimited.
• Lifters will compete in gear flights separately. 
  • For example: Flight A only Raw attempts, Flight B only Single Ply and Flight C only Unlimited.
• Lifters can always wear less gear than required.
  • For example: a lifter may establish a Raw bench, next flight establishes a Single-Ply bench number and finally choose to establish an Unlimited bench number while wearing Single-Ply gear. A lifter could opt to use no gear (Raw) in all flights to establish their total.
• We will take time between gear divisions to allow lifters to get into their gear and take some warmup attempts.
• Best Men's and Women's lifters will be awarded based off their DOTS score combined from all 3 flights (please note we will not use any age adjustments for best lifters).
• Cash prize will consist of 1/2 of all entry fees for that gender division.
  • For example: 10 men compete for a cash prize of $500.  20 women and their cash prize is $1000.
• Half of the proceeds of the admission will go into the prize package.
• Sanctioned for State, National and All Time World Records.
