All of my competing has been done in PLing over the last few decades. The RPS was my chosen Fed. If anyone knew Gene, he was all about the sport of Powerlifting and getting everyone, young and old, male and female into competing. The cost was about $90 per event with a $35 crossover. Entry fees to see the meet was $10. There were no "Federation Memberships" that you needed for a meet.
I heard from a lady recently who competed in an NPC competition and while chatting, she told me he put out $110 for the local show and $135 to be an NPC member. On top of that, her husband had to put out $60 for the pre-judging and finals to see her.
Save me the "In the grand scheme of things", this is ridiculous. I get promoters want to make money but this shit is done at high school at the local level. As for the NPC, what the hell are they doing for their money? I can see why many people have no desire to compete in the sport of bodybuilding, especially our youth.
