When should lifters check in for their attempts?

Lifters should check in prior to the scheduled lift times announced in the event agenda because this ensures that the referees and meet organizers can confirm the lifter's participation and establish the order of competition. Checking in ahead of time allows for smooth operation of the event, as it helps to verify that all necessary equipment is ready, that lifters are present and accounted for, and allows for any last-minute adjustments if needed. This procedure is critical in maintaining an efficient and organized schedule during competitions, ensuring that each lifter is prepared and has the opportunity to compete without unnecessary delays. Timely check-in also promotes fairness by allowing referees to manage warm-up times and assist lifters in being adequately prepared when it is their turn to perform.
