A. We are still entering some meets for 2008. Most major meets have been entered. Be patient we will let everyone know when we are done entering all meets for 2008. At which point if the meet you lifting in is still not entered email us the results from that meet, or a link to where the results can be viewed. 2009 is just in the beginning stage
of data entry. Again we will make an announcement when data entry for 2009 is complete.
Q. The meet I lifted in is in the system but my result isn't listed?
A. Email us and we will look into it. Most likely you were missed during data entry. feedback@usaplresults.com
Q. Why is it taking so long to get meets in the system?
A. In the past meet results were not submitted in a standard format. These must be entered by hand by volunteers, which can take a long time. In the future meet directors will have standard forms to submit that will greatly increase the speed which meets are entered into the system.
Q. The lift (insert lift here) has the wrong numbers.
A. Email us and we will double check the submitted results. If the results match the number we have already entered, you will need to contact the meet director. feedback@usaplresults.com
Q. I saw some negative wilks numbers. How can that be?
A. In some cases meet directors did not supply a body weight for the lifters. In these cases the highest body weight possible for the lifter's weight class was used. For SHW 999lbs was used. This can cause some unusual wilks numbers.
Q. The wilks numbers all seem to high?
A. You are probably expecting to see them based off a KG total. Choose "KG" from the Display Units option.
Q. My name is misspelled, my divisions are listed as the wrong gender?
A. Email us and we will get this fixed for you. feedback@usaplresults.com
