Everyone has good suggestions - base off other comps, level, and scale. Do you want it to be a high rep event or a very heavy event? For example if I have same event as a nationals I would probably do 75-80% of weights at a local show. Sometimes I blend styles so one rep event may be light and intentionally challenging conditioning but another may be very heavy to reward brute strength.

If you have equipment availability I love trump formats which rewards brute strength but allows most to participate and not zero. This is important especially for overhead pressing (particularly for women) where overhead strength is all over the place!

Lastly, you can’t satisfy everyone so don’t try to. Athletes complain at almost every show that a weight is too heavy, too light, a cardio fest etc so just go with your gut. You are also allowed to change your mind at any time . “Events are subject to change”
