OPEN TO THE WORLD – All competition in Clark’s Gym is hybrid. You may compete in your local gym or in the friendly confines of Clark’s Gym in Columbia, Mo. To compete remote, you must enter by 10 p.m. on Tuesday of the weekend involved or your results will not be accepted. You must send all results to Bill Clark via e-mail only at yeoldclark@gmail.com not later than 10 p.m. on the Tuesday following the meet.
Included on the reporting form must be the name of the official(s) involved. DO NOT send your remote results to the USAWA. They must be approved by the meet director first. If you have no officials, your results will be included in the final tabulation of the competition and be eligible for meet awards – but not records. Your honesty is the key to all competitions.
OFFICIALS – Must accompany remote results to be eligible for records.
Buffville Gym is a fantastic place we hosted meets in the past. Also, on Saturday, immediately following the awards we will have the OTSM RECORD DAY.
If you plan on participating in the Record Day portion, please let me know what lifts/records you want to perform. This way I can ensure we have all the proper equipment available for you to set incredible records.
Finally, plenty of seats will be available, but feel free to bring your own chair to be more comfortable.
I’m looking forward to seeing everyone this weekend.
As a final reminder all Old Time Strongman lifts are now available to set IAWA World Records!
