Athlete's Fund
World Team Selection
The goal of the APC is to select a team for the Global Powerlifting Championships each year. To reach that goal we must start at the state level. Each year the state will have a State Championship to select a team for the National Championships. To be eligible to participate in the National Championships a lifter must have a total in a State or Regional APC sanctioned Championship Meet.
At the National Championships the team representing the United States for
funding will be selected from the winners. Two lifters from each weight class and age group will be selected, a
winner and an alternate. One athlete per weight class will be eligible for
funding. To be eligible for the World Team funding the lifter must compete in the APC National Championships. If the first place National winner does not go to the Worlds the alternate and/or last years world winner will fill in the slot
and be eligible for funding. Another alternate will be selected from the remainder participants.
The APC will post an income statement 30 days prior to the Worlds each year. The income of the APC comes primarily from membership sales, APC shirt sales, and APC patches.
Expenses such as mailouts, weights, and contest expenses for various contests will be provided by the contest promoters. The promoters will keep the profits earned from the contests. Each state chairman will keep $5.00 from each membership card sale in his state to offset his expense. $5.00 from each card sale will go toward
administration expenses and the balance of $20.00, $5.00 if a teenager card, will be deposited in the Athlete's Fund. There will be no compensation paid to directors or officers of the APC. The APC has some start up expense and legal expense which were incurred during the first two years which will be noted in the financial statement. None of these expenses will be paid until the APC accumulates enough money to provide full funding for the annual team which will include airfare, hotel, and entry fees.
We are beginning our third year as the American Powerlifting Committee. We greatly appreciate all the pioneers who started with us and we welcome all the new comers. With every one's help we will have a great organization truly dedicated to the the lifters.
