World Team Qualifying Standard
By Pat Anderson,
USAPL Coaching Committee
In order to become an AUTOMATIC selection to the 2004 Mens World team you need to:
A)Win the 2004 USAPL Seniors in Baton Rouge, Louisiana
B)Pass the drug test
C)Total at least the average 5th place total from the last 5 IPF Worlds.
Here are the official 2004 World Team qualifying totals, using the exact 5th place average.
Lifters will need to meet or exceed the total to become automatic selections, along with winning their class and being on the Top 35 list submitted to the IPF.
114---533.5kg. (1177)
123---558.5 (1232)
132---604 (1332)
148---670.5 (1479)
165---748 (1650)
181---784.5 (1729)
198---851.5 (1877)
220---861.5 (1899)
242---897.5 (1978)
275---950 (2093)
SHW---971.5 (2141)
Any winners who don't achieve the total will be placed in the alternate pool along with the top non-winning totals from all classes. These lifters will then be ranked on a percentage basis, using their total in comparison to the 5th place average of the previous five Worlds. This alternate list will be used to fill in any open spots on the team.
2004 Open Men's World Team Qualifying Procedure
Due to a Team USA drug test failure at the 2003 IPF Worlds, the USAPL will be limited to a team of 10 lifters in 2004, per IPF rules. In the event that all 11 weight class winners hit the total in July the lowest ranked winner will be the 1st alternate. Additionally the USAPL is required by the IPF to compile a list of all potential 2004 Men's World Team members and submit that to the IPF by May 1st. The list may contain a maximum of 35 names. After the list is submitted to the IPF there can be no names added to the list for any reason. The USAPL Coaching Committee along with the Executive Committee, have developed the following procedure:
The initial list contains the top 35 totals by percentage of the 2004 World Team Standard, using all IPF meets and IPF qualifiers for 2002 and 2003. There is a maximum of five lifters per weight class on the list.
The IPF North American Cup to be held on April 10th in Ft. Lauderdale, Florida will be the only opportunity for lifters to either make the list or keep from getting bumped off it.
The Men's Senior National Championships in Baton Rouge, Louisiana this July will determine the final team roster using the same procedures as last year. If you are not on the list of 35 you are NOT eligible for the 2004 World team, regardless of placing or total in July.
The coaching committee will contact everyone on the preliminary list to confirm their interest in going to the Worlds in South Africa in November. Also, lifters on the list will be required to send in their entry for the Nationals by April 16h in order to stay on the list.
There is a maximum of five lifters per weight class allowed on the list.
The asterisks denote lifters who are in 6th place or below in their class, with their placing in parentheses.
The names in bold have confirmed their interest in competing in the Nationals in July and the Worlds if selected.
