USAWA

by Al Myers

The USAWA Postal Meet schedule has been released for 2013!  The USAWA Official Postal Meet Director John Wilmot  has planned a challenging set of postal meets for the USAWA for the coming year. The USAWA quarterly postal series has been gaining in popularity, with this past year being the most participated series to date. John deserves a “BIG THANKS” for the work he puts into setting up these postal meets and doing the scoring. He always sends out nice certificates to recognize a lifters performance. And I want to mention this again – entering these postal meets is at NO CHARGE!

This year’s schedule is as follows:

Eastern Open Postal Meet
March 1st to March 31st

Middle Atlantic Postal Meet
June 1st to June 30th

Delaware Valley Postal Meet
September 1st to September 30th

National Postal Championships
December 1st to December 31st

The rules of entering postal meets are pretty simple:

1. Do all the lifts in ONE DAY only
2. Follow the rules of the USAWA as outlined in the USAWA Rulebook
3. Fill out the entry form correctly (must include signatures of officials)  and send it to John Wilmot
4. Submit the entry form by the deadline date
5. Be a current PAID UP member of the USAWA

That’s it – pretty simple. Anyone should be able to follow those simple rules, and if not, find a training partner who is smarter than yourself to do it for you. You may have anyone judge your lifts to score for the competition, but if you want your lifts to count for an USAWA record, this judge MUST be a USAWA Certified Official. Also, if you are not a USAWA member your results will be omitted from the websites results when I receive them, so it’s a good idea to join the USAWA before you send your postal meet results to John.

The entry forms for these Postal Meets are available under the heading ”USAWA Future Events”, which is located on the right side of the home page.
