Some people host competitions where there is a combination of lifts, some hold bench press contests, and some people hold bench press and deadlift contests. Before you compete you need to know the rules. The sport is not as easy as you might think the rules are strict and if you don't understand them you lose.
Different federations have different rules.
In the future the club plans to hold bench meets. A platform is composed of three judges sitting around the lifting area. The different equipment is set up depending on which lift is being performed. A timer will either be at the platform or the head table. The judges will either press a button hooked up to a light bar or hold up a colored card.
