2007 National Meeting Notes

1. Executive committee reduced to 9 members, dropping Damian Fronzaglia and Joseph Orengia, Jr.

2. Modified Conventional system is discontinued with all meets being conducted in rounds.

3. Sanction fee of $50.00 will be refunded to ALL meet directors when meet is finished and all paper work is completed, including payment for drug tests.

4. Drug testing is to be increased to a minimum of 10% plus 1 test as the following table:
1-10 lifters = 2 tests
11-20 lifters = 3 tests
21-30 lifters = 4 tests
31-40 lifters = 5 tests
41-50 lifters = 6 tests
etc

5. Pocket rule book reflecting changes, be made available to all members when purchasing their membership.
Mailed applications will get a rule book mailed to them.

6. New list of prohibited substances to replace old list for ALL meet applications. List is available through the drug test committee and/or the National Ofiice.

7. American records will be "purged", dropping all records from lifters prior to December 1999, who have not participated in ADAU meets. A study will be made to fill in records made by members at ADAU meets.

8. National meet directors will get assistance from the ADAU by payment for their first 10 drug tests. Meet directors will be responsible for all test payments after the first 10.

9. Clarification of terms, outstanding lifter and champion of champions. These two "titles" have been used incorrectly in common practice at meets for many years.
There is a difference......"outstanding lifter" is figured by formula for all lifters, whereas "champion of champions" should only be selected from first place winners by formula.
