SORRY FOR MULTIPLE POSTINGS!
I've been asked to post this announcement about an open Bench Press and Deadlift competition in Brazil. It is organized by Kleber Caramello, Bench Press athlete and coach, through a local federation (FIB/CONBRAFA) and during the last four years it has been growing in attendance in the South American continent. Participants from all countries are welcome (we know it's tough to get down here, but you ARE welcome!).

rules
The CONBRAFA rulebook is still in Portuguese and is currently undergoing changes, but Caramello asked me to say the rules are similar to WPO / IPA (very flexible, most equipments allowed, no testing).
There is a commission providing an English version of the rulebook, soon to be released.Marilia Coutinho

competitiveness / general level
We would say it is quite irregular: there is a small number of high level lifters and a large number of beginners, with poor technical performance. This is the Brazilian and South American reality.
