12/09/2012 Meeting Notes: Mostly Stuff About the Intramural Meet And A Little About Chris

Meeting notes 12/9/2012

1. Further discussion regarding the intramural meet.
- Our club will function in an informative/educating/staffing capacity for this meet.
- Rec Services will be in charge of reserving a space for the meet and for waivers and awards.
- Our club will draft a rules document for the meet.

1A. Necessary roles for staffing the meet:
- Three judges for judging lifts
- Spotters for applicable lifts (bench and squat)
- At least 1 person for recording attempts/managing entries and paperwork.
Notes: we will need at least 6 club members but preferably 11+ to run this meet. If few club members are available to help with the meet, the number of judges judging each lift may be reduced to 1 or 2.

1B. Facility/equipment issues related to an intramural meet:
- We will need to figure out a system regarding managing height of j-hooks for competitors. This may involve running a particular lift using two different platforms (so while one is used another can be set up for the next competitor) if we do not have a lot of team help available.
- We will attempt to clear meet area of as much non-essential equipment (for example, the barbell rowing extensions that often hang off of chalk basin racks or the multitude of plyo boxes that usually are located in the CRWC weight area) as possible in a neat, organized, and unobtrusive manner.

1C. Timing/schedule for the meet:
- Registration for the meet could start at 5 PM.
- Weigh-ins, opening attempts, and rules meeting should happen close to 5 PM--perhaps a rules meeting could be scheduled for 30-45 minutes after registration?
- Meet area should be established and set up BEFORE 5 PM. We would like to attempt to rope the area off/reserve the area for plus/minus an hour before registration begins at 5 PM.
- If rec services could provide additional helpers for the meet, this would help with efficiency and keeping the meet moving at a quick pace.

1D. Our will be in charge of a rulebook and an online component regarding the meet. We will set up Facebook events/send out emails, etc.

2. Official switchover of office of Club Vice President from Chris Anderson to Nate Poage.
-Chris requests we send him club updates while he is away at basic.

3. Possibility of club member competition in the Sioux Falls USAPL meet discussed.
