Which software should I use to run a streetlifting competition?
CompetHub is online software to organize a streetlifting competition. It reuses the powerlifting meet engine: it handles registrations by weight class, the weigh-in, the flights, the entry of the three attempts on weighted pull-ups, weighted dips and weighted squat, calculates the total and publishes the ranking by class on a branded public page. The lift labels are renamed in one click with the streetlifting preset.
The streetlifting organizer's real problem
Streetlifting is a young sport, structured by association-based governing bodies and circuits (the FNSL, Fédération Nationale de Street Lifting, in France; the ISF and the WSLF internationally), without a state-delegated governing body. You often organize your competition yourself, without a federal platform, and the reflex is to track everything in Excel. You recopy each registration, you sort each athlete into their weight class, you note the bodyweight at the weigh-in. A spreadsheet keeps up poorly with this pace.
On event day, the headache ratchets up a notch. Each athlete has up to three attempts per lift, that is nine turns, on weighted pull-ups, weighted dips and weighted squat. Only the best good attempt of each lift counts. Reporting all of that by hand, between two bars and two loading belts, multiplies the errors.
Then comes the ranking. The total (sum of the best good loads) breaks each weight class, and the lightest wins in case of a tie. On a spreadsheet, a sum or sorting error skews the results. Dedicated software centralizes this data and makes every figure reliable.
Why not run a streetlifting competition in Excel?
Excel forces you to recopy each registration, to track nine attempts per athlete and to add up the best loads by hand. A reporting or sum error skews the total and the ranking. Dedicated software centralizes registrations, weigh-in, attempts and ranking, and removes the recopying.
How CompetHub runs a streetlifting competition
CompetHub ties each building block of the software to the reality of a streetlifting competition. Here is how.
Online registrations and validation
Each athlete registers online in their weight class. The staff validates or refuses each request and checks in those present (check-in) on event day. Transactional emails go out automatically on registration, on validation and on refusal. You keep a clean list, with no duplicate nor file to cross-check.
Weight classes and streetlifting preset
You create the weight and gender classes of your competition, like the common streetlifting brackets (around -60, -67, -75, -85, -100 and +100 kg for men, with dedicated brackets for women; the exact bounds depend on the circuit). Each athlete registers in their class, and you enter their bodyweight at the weigh-in. On the lift side, you enable the meet format in Total mode and apply the streetlifting preset: the three slots become weighted pull-ups, weighted dips and weighted squat. You can also enter your own labels.
Weigh-in and flights
At the weigh-in, you enter the bodyweight and the draw number of each athlete, directly in the tool. You then build your flights (turn groups) and assign the competitors to them. Everything is centralized: no more weigh-in sheet separate from the rest.
Entry of attempts on the three weighted lifts
For each athlete, you declare the added load of each of their attempts (up to three per lift) then you judge the attempt good or missed. CompetHub keeps only the best good attempt of each lift for the total. The statuses are visible at a glance, with no paper sheet to re-centralize. The engine handles three weighted lifts (the Big 3 format: pull-ups, dips, squat); it does not handle a fourth lift like the weighted muscle-up, nor rep-based formats.
Lifting order and light judging
On the platform, CompetHub calculates the lifting order of each round, from the lightest load to the heaviest and broken by the draw number at equal load, and highlights the athlete on the platform and the next one. The judging is done with the three referee lights (white or red), the verdict being taken by majority, then kept with the attempt. There is no attempt timer in the tool.
Ranking by class on total
CompetHub calculates the total (sum of the best good attempts on the three lifts), ranks each weight class on the highest total and breaks ties on equal total by the lowest bodyweight. The ranking is built live: an athlete enters the ranking from their first good attempt, and the order evolves with each lift, not only on the final total. On the other hand, the relative coefficient that compares athletes from different weight classes (the RIS index, specific to streetlifting, or a DOTS-type coefficient) is not calculated by CompetHub: there is no cross-class best lifter in Total mode. This calculation stays in the hands of the governing body or an external calculator.
Public results page
You publish a public page in the colors of the competition (logo, colors), with the presentation, the participants and the ranking by class on total. The ranking updates automatically there during the competition, without the spectator reloading the page. It is accessible without an account. The list of entrants exports to CSV for your archives.
How do I create a streetlifting competition with CompetHub?
Create your account, add the competition, enable the meet format in Total mode, apply the streetlifting preset and define the weight classes, then open registrations. On event day, you enter the weigh-in, build the flights, declare and judge the attempts, and the ranking by class on total is calculated, ready to publish.
The flow handled for streetlifting
Streetlifting is not played out in an elimination tree: it is managed by weight classes, flights and attempts, like a powerlifting meet. CompetHub tracks the three weighted lifts and the three attempts per lift, keeps only the best good attempt, then ranks on total by class. For organizers who pair other disciplines, the bracket formats (single elimination, double elimination, pools) remain available on classic competitions.
Which format should I use for a streetlifting competition?
Streetlifting is managed by weight classes, flights and attempts, not in an elimination bracket. In CompetHub, you enable the meet format in Total mode: the tool tracks the three weighted lifts and the three attempts, keeps the best good attempt, calculates the total and publishes the ranking by class.
Why CompetHub rather than Excel or a spreadsheet
| Step | Excel or paper | CompetHub |
|---|---|---|
| Registrations | Manual recopying, duplicates | Online form, validation, auto emails |
| Weight classes | Sorting by hand | Classes created, athlete registered in their own |
| Weigh-in | Separate weigh-in sheet | Bodyweight and draw entered in the tool |
| Attempts (pull-ups, dips, squat) | Paper sheets to centralize | Good / missed, best attempt kept |
| Total and ranking | Sum recopied, sorting errors | Total and ranking by class automatic |
| Informing the public | Announcement on the mic, quickly lost | Ranking on a public page, no account |
Does CompetHub replace Excel for a streetlifting competition?
Yes. Where Excel imposes recopying and manual sums, CompetHub centralizes the registrations, the weigh-in, the flights and the attempts, then calculates the total and publishes the ranking by class. You keep the history and export the entrants to CSV. The relative coefficient (RIS, DOTS) stays to be calculated separately if your circuit uses it.

Frequently asked questions
How do I create a streetlifting competition online?
Create a CompetHub account, add your competition, enable the meet format in Total mode and apply the streetlifting preset (weighted pull-ups, weighted dips, weighted squat), define your weight classes, then open registrations. On event day, you enter the weigh-in, build the flights, declare and judge the attempts, and the ranking by class on total is calculated.
Is the software free?
Yes, CompetHub is free to start, no credit card. You manage registrations, weigh-in, flights, attempts and ranking, and publish the public results page for free, before deciding to go further.
Does CompetHub handle weighted pull-ups, dips and squat?
Yes, through the three lift slots of the meet format, which you rename freely. The streetlifting preset names them weighted pull-ups, weighted dips and weighted squat. The engine handles three weighted lifts and three attempts per lift: it covers the Big 3 format of streetlifting, but not a fourth lift (weighted muscle-up) nor rep-based formats.
How do the attempts and the total work?
Each athlete has up to three attempts per lift. You declare the added load of each attempt and you judge it good or missed, with three-white-light judging if you wish. CompetHub keeps only the best good attempt of each lift and makes it the total kg.
How is the ranking calculated in streetlifting?
CompetHub ranks each weight class on the highest total kg, broken by the lowest bodyweight. The relative coefficient that compares athletes from different classes (the RIS index, specific to streetlifting) is not calculated by CompetHub: it stays in the hands of the governing body or an external calculator.
Can the public follow the results?
Yes. CompetHub publishes a branded public page, accessible without an account, that presents the competition, the participants and the ranking by class on total. The ranking updates automatically during the competition.
