The STONE COUNTY SCHOOLS POWERLIFTING TEAM, composed of middle school and high school students will complete in this powerlifting meet on MARCH 7. We have made all the necessary arrangements, and look forward to a great meet.

The number of participants will be between 15-40 lifters, depending on the number of practices the participants make. If necessary, I can provide a list of lifters.

We are always DRUG FREE, as to set a good example for all lifters.

I am sending a seperate email declaring my personal entry, along with 3-5 other lifters, for a seperate meet on March 8 (Saturday) that will not involve kids.

I want to take part in the March 7-9th meet as well (my second).

I hope I get a passed bench press this time.

I'm lifting in the Icelandic Masters on Feb 23rd.  During the meet prep I squatted 175kg, benched 120kg and deadlifted 232.5kg, all raw.  I'm opening with 160-110-220.   I'm just over 90kg so I'll probably have to lift in the 100. LOL.  Lifetime drug-free of course, 45 years old.

Since the virtual meet doesn't allow knee wraps I'll probably go with 150-110-220 there.

I have to pull out of the March 7-9th meet.  :(
On the same day I have an IPF meet in Vienna where I will be competing.

I am willing to judge if needed and will take part in the next meets again.

Post by: kris on February 14, 2008, 08:04:27 pm
A wise decision I think, two meets on the same day would have been quite harsh to say the least... Consider yourself a judge, your help there will be most welcome.

Please note folks, the sign-up for the meet will close in 26 hours for lifters!

PS. Helgi, great to see you back!!  :D

The lifter sign-up has been closed. Judges may still sign up and lifters may edit their lifting date until Friday 22nd, 11pm GMT.

The Stone County Schools Powerlifting Team (http://virtualmeet.net/community/forum/meet-talk/134/msg831/#msg831) has been granted permission to submit their list of lifters by e-mail as this is a somewhat large operation. However, all lifters lifting for the team must register as members here at Virtualmeet.net before the meet.

Have a great one everyone, thanks for signing up!!! :D More information will be sent out to all participants on February 29th.

All lifters have now been updated with the final meet information. Let's do it! ;D


Title: Re: REGISTER: Full Meet, 7-9 March 2008
Post by: kris on March 03, 2008, 08:40:17 pm
Here we go! This is the final line-up for the March 7-9th powerlifting meet. The list is somewhat smaller than originally anticipated due to the Stone County Schools Powerlifting Team being decimated by a serious flu. But at 24 lifters, including two women, this is our largest meet to date and we seem set for a weekend to remember.

We are still one judge short, so if someone is interested in joining me and Christian for the fun let us know! ;D As usual, we will strive to finish judging within one week. There will also be a box here on the forum main page where everyone can follow our progress in real-time. Editing the meet video etc. will also take some time, so, realistically speaking, we are looking at a turnaround of 1-2 weeks before the meet is fully published. We are, after all, facing a potential 216 video clips coming our way. Brace yourselves, I will pull no stops in making a meet video that gives justice to the material and collective lifting effort.

Note that for this meet I did not collect all dates of births in advance as submitting them as part of the video upload is more convenient for everyone involved, so no ages are listed in the participants' list for this meet. The lifters who signed up for this meet as part of the special arrangement with the Stone County Schools Powerlifting Team will need to be signed up at Virtualmeet.net by the end of Sunday 9th local time to be eligible to participate.

Everyone should have the information they need by now, but if any questions pop-up at any point feel warmly welcome to ask on the forums or e-mail me at kristoffer@virtualmeet.net. Just remember the newspaper folks!

EDIT 14 MARCH 2008: Removed the lifters who could not compete for one reason or another, or who simply did not show up: Olivia Boone, John Ritzer, Douglas Allen, Kenny Chandler, Chris Fahs, Jeremy Loenneke, Ron Groce. Added Clint Holmes, who had mistakenly fallen off the list but who was signed up by the Stone County Schools Powerlifting Team.


EDIT 11 MARCH 2008: Linked the Stone County Schools Powerlifting Team members to their Virtualmeet.net home pages.


EDIT 8 MARCH 2008: Added Chris Cooper to the list of lifters. He asked me to confirm that he was indeed signed up well before the meet, but mistaking him for another lifter I mistakenly confirmed him as signed-up even though he was not on the list. The issue has been sorted out over e-mail and Chris is in the meet as he clearly should be. Sorry for the mix-up Chris!

EDIT 7 MARCH 2008: Changed the judge line-up. Christian Burger had to pull out and was replaced by Joseph Reiter who is not able to lift due to an unexpected conflicting event but kindly offered his services as a judge. Timothy McIlhinney also replaces Kristoffer Lindqvist which frees Kris to focus on the video editing and server side tasks for the meet which in turn will cut down the turnaround before the meet is published.

EDIT 4 MARCH 2008: Ryan Rigdon pulled out to stay in one piece for his real meet (a good decision), and kindly (again!) volunteered to judge the meet.

Hey Tim!

Excellent, thanks so much for your offer! Your help may not be needed as all slots for one judging team is now filled, but I e-mailed you privately about it.

I'm a member of the IPF, but I'll take my chances.  At worst I'd be banned from competition for a year, but so what.  I doubt very much that the local chapter (www.kraft.is) is worried about something like this.
