A best lifter trophy will be awarded for best Teenager, best Senior and best Master for both Men and Women, provided there at at least three entries in that category. Best lifter trophies for men and women in each of the above classes will be judged by the Schwartz or Malone formula respectively. Actual weight class will be determined by weight at weigh in on the day of competition. You may enter in the open and one other age class for which you are eligible. Age classes are the same for men and women.
Age is determined as age on the day of competition.
It is not compulsory to enter in an age class, nor must you enter in the open class to contest an age class. The only equipment allowed in the raw category is an unpadded belt and wrist wraps. Non-qualifying lifters may be permitted to enter at the discretion of the Meet Director.
