SCORE PROTOCOL - VIDEO RECORDING
There are three possibilities:
1. Good score: all lifts are executed in the right way. Judge gives "good lift". Score will be validated.
2. Partially good score: one or two lifts are judged as "no lift". The total will be corrected to the total of the "good lifts"
3. No score: all lifts are judged as "no lift". Score will be 0 (zero).
If there is a tie score within a subdivision the lifter with the lowest bodyweight is the winner.
There is no possibility for appeal on any decision. Athletes have six opportunities to set a good score.
