Looking for information on amateur powerlifting competitions

I know we have some power lifters on the board. I've lifted for awhile and would like to do a powerlifting meet. I can't seem to find a good site that gives information on locations of events, weight classes, standards, and a general idea of the type of weight that will be put up per weight class.
for reference- Im currently 205, and my numbers would be deadlift 565-595, bench 305-335, squat 405-425. I know it's stronger than the average gym goer but what sort of level of competition would suit me best (I'm assuming there are differen levels?)
Any and all information would be appreciated

You would be in the 220 weight class. Generally from what I've seen the 198 and 220 weight classes are usually pretty competitive. Unless you're an older guy(over 35) or a teen, you'll be lifting in the open class with everybody. Take a look at the uspa and uspal federations. They usually hold a good amount of meets and have a good reputation. Being generous with the lifts you gave, you would around 1355 which is good for a beginner and if you continue, get serious, you can improve your total. Hope that helps.
