MEET ANNOUNCEMENT –

2019 IAWA OLD TIME STRONGMAN WORLD POSTAL CHAMPIONSHIPS

After the success of last year’s inaugural OTSM World Postal, John Mahon and I have decided to continue with the promotion again this year.   This years competition dates are July 20th-21st.

Now for a little “background” on this postal competition. It is much different than the other postal meets we have.

• It will be held over a weekend only and all lifts must happen at this time
• It will always be held at only one venue per participating country
• Each country will have a promoter for the event, and provide the venue

The reason for these added stipulations is to give more credibility to the event.  Since all lifts will be done at a set venue at the same time, with the same set of officially recognized officials there is no question to the validity of this World Championship.  Also, I like the idea of everyone world wide doing the lifts at the same time, almost like a meet we are all at together.  There are different lifts chosen this year to give a new challenge to everybody.

Once completed, please send your completed forms to me this year instead of John.  I would like everyone to please use the prepared form for the official scoresheet to minimize submission errors.

USAWA MEET DETAILS

I have the set the date and time for the USAWA portion of the IAWA OTSM World Postal Championships.  I am hoping for a turnout as good as last year.  I plan to run it very efficiently, so hopefully if we start by 1 we will be finished by 5.  Also, please let me know in advance if you plan to attend so I can make proper arrangements.
