We are excited to start preliminary work towards hosting our annual competition.  Last year the pandemic took a way the Crow Hill Open.  This year we are excited to host it once again!  This is a fluid situation, and we believe conditions will improve by this Summer, however, for now, we will be taking the following precautions to be in line with New York State COVID-19 restrictions on gyms:

  1. Masks will be worn over the nose and mouth by all who are inside the building. This includes athletes on the competition platform.

  2. All occupants will be screened by the State Questionnaire before entering the building.

  3. There will be no audience. We will have a live stream of the event for friends and family.

  4. After their lifting session, athletes must exit via 919 Bergen Street before the next session starts.

  5. After weighing in, athletes may remain in the building, but if they eat we recommend they eat outside.

  6. Sessions will be limited to 12 athletes and each athlete will only be allowed 1 coach/handler. No one else will be allowed in, outside volunteers.

We are a 11,500 sq/ft facility and have two large garage doors that we will have open for the competition.   We will be working to make sure the place remains sanitized and safe for all athletes and coaches.  If conditions change and restrictions change, we will notify you immediately as to how this will impact our policies.  If you have questions, email.

Now for the fun stuff. MURDER OF CROWS BARBELL is proud to be hosting their 6th Annual USAW Sanctioned Competition, the Murder of Crow Open.  This year may be a little different, BUT we are still offering PRIZE MONEY for the top 3 lifters in the Open Division.  1st PLACE in the Open Division for both Best Male and Best Female will be awarded $500.  2nd PLACE will receive $200 and 3rd PLACE will receive $100.  

WE WILL NOT be awarding medals for weight class or other divisions this year.  BUT we will be recognizing all 1st PLACE Weight Class Finishers in the Open Division via Instagram.  We also plan on offering prizes with gift codes from our sponsors (stay tuned).

The competition will be hosted over 2 Days on Saturday, June 19 and Sunday, June 20 at Murder of Crows, 1010 Dean Street, Brooklyn, NY 11238.

Athletes must be current USAW members (as of day they are lifting and must compete in a singlet).

To guarantee that we have 12 athletes per session, athletes will be grouped by Entry Total.  The top 12 Male and Female Lifters by Robi Points, will be invited to lift in the Prime Time Session.  We will determine the top 12 based on declared weight class and entry total.  Lifters MUST open according to the 20kg/20kg rule in the Prime Time Group.  Lifters must lift in the Prime Time Group to be eligible for prize money.
