PLEASE PRINT/SAVE THIS E-MAIL FOR YOUR RECORDS
This e-Mail authorizes, indefinitely, Rich Peters, Greg VanHoose, Mike Adelmann, David Oyler, J.T. Hall, and L. Smith(The Gym), to use Quadralifting, and Quadralifting Rules, at any N.A.S.A. Sanctioned Meet. Anybody other than the Meet Directors listed in this paragraph should seek a sanction before having a Quadralifting Event at their Meet. This does not authorize anybody to use Quadralifting Rules at any Non-N.A.S.A. Meet.
Quadralifting, basicly, is all four lifts(Curl, Squat, Benchpress, Deadlift), combined into a 4-Lift Combination Event. Although the Copyrighted Rules for Quadralifting are written in unique language, anybody that can legally perform any of those 4 Lifts in a NASA Meet, prior to now, would already know how to lift in accordance with the Rules of Quadralifting. Here are the only actual differences:
1)Quadralifting is for adults age 21 and older. This was put into the Rules of Quadralifting so that we might not be hindered from obtaining Major Sponsors, who by law, cannot Sponsor Events that involve Minors. By limiting Quadralifting to those 21 and above, this removes any limitation on a Corporation being an Official Sponsor of Quadralifting.
2)In Quadralifting, if lifting Equipped, Lifters may wear an Erector Shirt, or Wrist Wraps, in the Curl, and may wear Elbow Wraps in the Benchpress. It is the Intent that people be reminded at the Rules Meeting, that Wrist Wraps and Erector Shirts would disqualify the Curl in Power Sports, and wearing Elbow Wraps would disqualify the Benchpress in all NASA Divisions other than Quadralifting.(I don't think too many people will actually use Elbow Wraps)
3)So that nobody may take a Token Lift, and set Records in Quadralifting without actually being a Quadralifter, Lifters must Curl at least 50% of Bodyweight, Benchpress at least 100%, and Squat/Deadlift at least 150% of Bodyweight, in order to Total in Quadralifting. The Rules of Quadralifting have lower percentages for Women, lower percentages for Lifters aged 40-49, and lower percentages for Lifters aged 50+. I will e-Mail the Rules of Quadralifting, this next week, after I return from Flora.(It exists on the hard drive of our Home Computer).
4)In Quadralifting, Lifter's who fail to get their Opening Attempt, and have not increased the Weight on the bar, may lower the Weight by up to 11 Lbs. in the Curl and Benchpress, and may lower the Weight by up to 22 Lbs. in the Squat and Deadlift. It is the Intent that Lifters be informed at the Rules Meeting that this would keep them in Quadralifting, but eliminate them from any other NASA Division if they lower the Weight. The inception of the Rule that exists in Powerlifting now, where you cannot lower the Weight, came at a time in PL History where the Bar was loaded up once for the entire Flight, which would have slowed up the efficiency of a Meet, to allow a Lifter to attempt a Lighter Weight. Now that we download the Bar for each attempt, there is no need for this, and so, this new Rule was added to Quadralifting.
These are the only clear differences between Quadralifting, and the other Lifting Events that existed before. Only the Top 10 Lifters in NASA have ever achieved a 10.0+ Coefficient. With the addition of Quadralifting, Lifters will be able to aspire to achieve a Coefficient of 11.0+, and even aspire towards a Coefficient of 11.5 or 12.
I will start with a Top 10 List for Quadralifting, hosted on our server, and eventually expand it to a Top 25 or even a Top 50 List. If other Meet Directors decide to put Quadralifting in their Meets, please send me the results, and I will include them in the Top 10(25/50). With Rich's Approval, we might eventually send the Link to Mike Adelmann, linking back to our server, from all of the Top Lists that NASA has now.
If I don't see or talk to you before the 25th, have a Merry Christmas.

Frequently Asked Questions:
How can I know when my submission for registration is received by the Copyright Office?
The U.S. Copyright Office in Washington D.C. does not provide a confirmation receipt of an application. That’s why we send all application packages by FedEx to provide an acknowledgment of receipt by the Copyright Office. This date of receipt establishes your “effective registration date.”
How long does the registration process take, and when will I receive my Certificate of Registration?
The time the Copyright Office requires to process an application varies, depending on the amount of material the Office is receiving. If your submission is in order, you may generally expect to receive a Certificate of Registration within approximately 4 to 6 months of submission.
What is the status of my application?
The U.S. Copyright Office cannot provide information about the status of applications that have been in the Copyright Office less than 6 months. If you must have this information confirmed in writing, contact the Certifications and Documents Section at (202) 707-6787. This Section can provide the information upon payment of applicable fees. If a claim is older than 6 months, the Office will do an in-process search without charge to determine why the certificate has been delayed.
When is my registration effective?
A copyright registration is effective on the date the Copyright Office receives all the required elements in acceptable form, regardless of how long it then takes to process the application and mail the Certificate of Registration. The time the Copyright Office requires to process an application varies, depending on the amount of material the Office is receiving.
If you apply for copyright registration, you will not receive an acknowledgment that your application has been received but you can expect:
· A letter or a telephone call from a Copyright Office staff member if further information is needed or
· A Certificate of Registration indicating that the work has been registered, or if the application cannot be accepted, a letter explaining why it has been rejected.
You do not have to receive your certificate before you publish or produce your work, nor do you need permission from the Copyright Office to place a notice of copyright on your material.
Can I place a copyright notice on my work?
Since 1989, there is no longer a legal requirement for a copyright notice. However, placing a copyright notice on your work puts the world on notice that you are claiming ownership. This prevents anyone from copying your work and claiming they are an “innocent infringer”; that they didn’t know the work was protected.
The following notice may be placed on copyrighted works:
Copyright © 2007 COPYRIGHT OWNERS NAME. All rights reserved.
Although not legally required, it is recommended that both the term “Copyright” and the “©” symbol be used for works displayed online. This is because some web browsers may not be able to display the “c-in-a-circle” symbol that is required for international protection in some countries. The date should be the year of publication.
