New Guidelines for the Night of the Living Dead

(effective for the 2013 competition)



This year is the 10th anniversary and things are going through the roof! The greatest deadlifter will be crowned at the NOTLD. I will again begin to work the sponsors hard and I will announce at a later date about the prize money. The greatest pullers in the world are planning on coming, and we are pulling out all the stops to make the 10th installment of the NOTLD, the most insane deadlift event ever.



1) We will have an open period for people to tell me of their desire to lift at the meet. Second, rankings will be released that invited the top 25 lifters (20 male and 5 female). Third, a time period where the top 25 ranked lifters must confirm their spot with payment, Then another period where alternates will fill the spots of any top 25 lifter that has decided not to lift. Then the final lineup will be announced. It worked perfectly last year. You can imagine there are other reasons like sponsors, preparation, etc. that we must know who is coming in advance.



2) Qualifying lifts will be accepted from all sanctions and it does not matter where, but it just needs to have happened. All legitimate competitions are accepted, and we do not play politics to find our lifters. We just take the best and put them on 1 platform.



3) Each entrant will have to pre-register by the given deadlines. This meet will be full, and I do not play favorites. I hope that all lifters understand that this meet is now so huge we have been tasked with finding the greatest pound for pound deadlifter regardless of weight, age, or federation and it causes a logistical nightmare now that, major sponsors, media, international lifters, etc. have been added to the mix.



4) The morning flight has been a huge success. We are prepared to take even more lifters this year for the morning flight. The price will be $60. We may take as many as 30 lifters (2 flights of 15) if needed. We will again provide an automatic qualifying spot for the night flight the following year to the best male and female lifter.



4) The price will be $75. Every lifter will get a free t-shirt, the winning lifter will be crowned the Ultimate Deadlifter and receive prize money. There will be tons of media coverage through live web streaming, websites, etc.



5) Again our focus will be on finding and crowning the unified deadlift champion by Wilkes formula this year. It may be possible due to increased sponsorship to have prizes (either cash or in kind) to lifters outside of the champion, but that will be decided as sponsorship comes in and announced as soon as possible.



6) The date for the meet is going to be October 12th, 2013 in Elizabethton, TN.



7) An entry form will be distributed at a later date and will be announced through personal emails, mail if requested, Facebook, and Powerlifting Watch, and of course on our website www.nightofthelivingdeadlift.blogspot.com.





Here is the tentative deadline:



Now- July 12th: Email me and inform me of your desire to compete

July 15th: The top 25 spots (20 male and 5 female) will be posted with alternates

July 15th :July 26th: Lifters must confirm their spot by sending entry form and payment

July 29th: Spots available due to a declination of the top 25 will be announced to the

alternates

Aug 9th: Alternates must have confirmed their spots with entry form and payment

Aug 12th: The final roster will be posted, we will begin filling the morning flights spots, all will have 11 weeks to prepare and train



Do understand that unforeseen circumstances may cause slight changes in the process, and I will do all in my power to make these announcements in a timely manner by email or through the website. You need to check the website often to make sure you are keeping up with the updates.
