Re: NAPF/IPF: listen up!

Chris/Larry,
While I disagree with "Joe" I think the NAPF has a fundamental issue of attracting the best lifters in the region.
You look at the EPF or APF regionals and the best lifters lift and there is intense competition.
In the NAPF it is pretty much a development with few established IPF countries. So your top calibre lifters whom are trying to spread their $$$ to go to all the meets they need to (nationals, regionals and worlds) may bypass the NAPF because of the lack of competition and concentrate on the national and world stages.
Not that there isn't top lifters at NAPF's... just overall the depth and competition isn't there.
So how do we grow it from where it is now to where it's equivalent to the EPF? How do we get more lifters to put these meets on their must lift list? I think you should hold bench and powerlifting meets at the same venue to reduce costs/make it more attractive to meet directors too.
