THE Guyana Amateur Powerlifting Federation (GAPF) will be holding its annual Senior’s Championship as well as the 2010 Regional championships qualifier on October 25, at the Cliff Anderson Sports Hall (CASH).

In an effort to get local lifters familiar to the international requirements, set by the North American Powerlifting Federation (NAPF) standards as much as possible, which includes the registration format.

Interested lifters are expected to fill out the registration forms which can be uplifted from any executive member or at Basic Beauty Salon on North Road and after doing so, return same to any member of the GAPF or Basic Beauty Salon on or before 20th October, failing which the lifter will not be able to participate in the championships.

According to a GAPF press release, weigh in starts at 7:30 am and concludes at 9:00 am on the date of the championships and any lifter attempting to weigh in after the close off time, will not be allowed to compete.

Equipment will be checked according to IPF standards and no exceptions will be made for any reason and with such in mind, the GAPF wishes its lifters to uplift their forms and get familiar with the rules as early as possible as this is an opportunity to compete in an international championship held locally.
But just as with international meets, discipline will be enforced, and no standard will be compromised.
