Unless Gus Rethwisch is present at a meet, any lifter setting a world record MUST complete a world record application form and get all three judges who judged the lift on the platform to verify the accuracy of the lift, the lifter's weight class, weight, and gear and equipment.  Forms will be at the scorekeeper's table and need to be returned to the scorekeeper's table or the meet director when completed.  The record will be forfeited if the form is not done accurately and completely.

Card fees will need to be raised to $35 for adults and $25 for teens due to the increased expense of meet venues.  This will be effective 2008.
