2008 REGIONAL MEET

Coaches,

The regional meet is rapidly approaching, so here are some important reminders.

Please read the following closely as it should answer most of your questions.

WHERE:    Paris High Gymnasium – Paris Texas 2400 Jefferson Rd.

WHEN:      Friday February 29th – 5:00- 6:30 p.m.- Early weigh in at Paris High  

Saturday March 1st – 6:30 – 8:00 a.m. weigh in

Coaches meeting – 8:30 – 8:45

National Anthem- 9:00- Lifting begins

ENTRY FEE:  $30.00 per lifter – Checks should be made out to Paris High School Booster Club and turned in before competition. (Check out our concession stand meal deal below)

ADMISSION:                   Adults- $ 3.00                          Students- $2.00

THSPA FORMS:  Copies of the eligibility and release forms must be turned in prior to the competition. The forms can be found in the THSPA rulebook which is located on-line at thspa.org

**LAST QUALIFYING DATE:  February 23rd  is the last date to qualify for regional competition.  All results must be given or faxed to me by midnight Saturday 23rd or they will not be included.  – 903-737-7429 (fax)

**DELCARATION OF WEIGH CLASS:  Coaches of any lifter who qualifies in more that one weight class must declare to the regional director which class the lifter will compete in at the regional meet.  Due to the limited time between the last qualifying date and the regional meet, I need to be notified by Sunday February 24th at 12:00 p.m. of the weight class in which he intends to compete.   Please take care of this so I may notify you as soon as possible regarding regional qualifiers.  If no declaration is made, I will assign the lifter to the heaviest class in which he has qualified.

(Please do not ask me which weight classes that other lifters have declared to compete in. I think this is only fair to all lifters and school involved.)

NOTIFICATION OF QUALIFIERS:  Regional qualifiers will be posted on thspa.org on Monday February 25th .

SCHOLARSHOP APPLICATION:  Please see THSPA rulebook.  Please nominate lifters who meet qualifications described in rulebook. (These should be turned in at registration before lifting.)

CONCESSIONS:  A concession stand will be available for *breakfast and lunch.   We offer *meal deals and a lot more. A hospitality room will be provided for all coaches.

* Breakfast tacos will be available

* $5 for burger or sausage wrap, chips, drink and desert  

ALTERNATE LIFTERS:  I would encourage you to bring lifters that were close to qualifying.  There are always a few spots open the day of the meet.

STATE MEET INFORMATION:  The state meet will be held on March 29th at the Taylor County Expo Center in Abilene.

I hope that I have covered everything, if you have any other questions please contact me.

Good luck, and please notify me of the weight declaration as soon as possible.

Sincerely

Hugh Farmer
