AO: By the lifters for the lifters? OR: Is weightlifting a secret sport, not even worthy of cult status?

Hardly. Of course, I was only there for the Thursday and Friday. Perhaps it cleaned up a bit for the rest of the weekend. Specifically, here are the items which indicated that something was amiss with the meet organization.

No water in the warm up area for lifters.
No food in the warm up area for the lifts.
Long, long, long walk for the lifters from the meet hotel to the platforms.
Hard, if not impossible, to hear the announcer in the warm up area.
Flags versus lights for referee signals.
No posting of a copy, except in one spot, of schedule changes implemented post-technical meeting.
No signage of where the meet actually was taking place. Though I knew where the Crossfit Challenge was happening...Is weightlifting a secret sport, not even worthy of cult status?
Results posted only for Friday, here it is Sunday, and then the results for Friday are incomplete. I repeat: Is weightlifting a secret sport, not even worthy of cult status?
No indication of where the check scale was located.
Once located, it was in the middle of a meeting room, offering no privacy.
10 years of the Arnold and not one lesson learned. Sigh...
