State Record Submission

[kennymi]

Hi i've been trying to get a hold of the staff at Raw but no one has responded back to me. I need to get my name listed on the state records list. I competed at the Worlds for Bench and strict curl at Worlds this year for the state of MI. How can we get this updated? I know certain people are in charge of different regions but I would like to have my name recognized thanks.

It takes time. They usually do them once a year. It'll get on there. I still have mine waiting from April.

While it can take a couple of months to get the records updated it is also very possible that the record was overlooked, especially if you competed in a different State than you live in. Your first point of contact should be the meet director. There the one who generally update local records. If you do not get a reply from them then escalate it to one of the executives of the federation.

OSU - if your meet was in April and you still haven’t seen the record update I would contact the meet director and have them look into it.

I don't think it was overlooked. This was at the Worlds in VA Beach. I asked Paul before hand if state records can be broken and he confirmed. I've been trying to get a hold of him after but not successful so far. MI doesn't have a representative? I'm willing to recreate the current records and update them, it wouldn't take me long. I'm a graphic designer so if the board for whatever reason can't find the files to update it i'm willing to do it. Either way let me know.

I've seen other states get updated but states like mine have not, even FL hasn't been updated since 2012. Even if you guys needed banners or certain artwork made i could help out. I just want my state records updated since I spent a lot of money traveling and competing.

You may find some state records that have not been updated in a long time because they haven’t changed in a long time. I don’t think there have been a 100% Raw meet in Florida for a while.
I Would suggest trying to contact Hunter M Claypatch I think he is actually the one who was working on the records update from worlds

[kennymi]

Thanks I'll contact him now.

Well so far no luck. I've contacted over 3 different people and no one is willing to reply back to me. A simple yes we will try to update this when we are able too, right now we can't find the files to update it would even be acceptable to me. Heck i'll even update it for them if they wanted.

Kennymi – If you want PM me with your name and state and I see what I can do. Not that I have any great pull in the organization but I do have a couple of contact on Facebook I may be able to reach out to. No promises but I’ll see what I can do.

OK, I just got approved to post here, so...here goes. Yes, there were 2 curls by MI residents this past year. I have a pretty good record of all lifts done this year (but not always the state of residence). What I don't have is any kind of good record of lifts from before 2014. So, while MI bench records can be (and were) updated with reasonable assurance that lifts from the past are being taken into account, there is no such assurance for curls. I'm really trying to do a credible job with this, and not just posting whatever anyone says to post (and you would be surprised at the volume of various requests). What would be needed is for historic data to be covered. I don't know what the best way to do this is, Paul Bossi is probably the one to ask about this. So, I appreciate as much patience and understanding you can give for this, while we make every effort to consistently improve records and rankings, and maintain a high level of credibility. Please be assured that nothing is being forgotten, and that records and rankings should only improve over time. And we are all volunteers, and that most of us (including me) are lifters as well, so we all "get it".

Thanks for stopping by and explaining Ed.

Thanks for everyones help, also for my curls. The "2014 ranking" results are the correct numbers than the ones on the Worlds pdf results if that makes sense. Hunter adjusted the weight of the bar because it weighted more.
