I've got a hunch that the RPF don't give two shits about bench only.

This is a big progress in world of Powerlifting. Everybody most to know that there can't be big results in sport without investments. We all train and compete because first of all we love this sport! It's finally time for some awards in $. I know that this isn't the first time, WPO and others also has money awards to, so I am very glad that this sport is going in this direction! I hope that time of medals only, will soon be past. It's very good that you receive some $ after good results, after all that training, personal investments( if you don't have any sponsors), and all that what is needs to achieve that result.

Way to go !

Be interesting to see what Europeans go over there.

I'm guessing no Americans will bother.

LOL, you'd get quite a bit of both for $8k I'd think.

Is the payout based on formula? How do you apply?
