COMPETITION FORMAT:

Oly Total (Men/Women):

Classic Olympic Lifting Competition, Athletes will get three attempts to lift their maximum Snatch and three attempts to lift their maximum Clean & Jerk.

Power Total (Men/Women):

introducing our Power Total Division, Athletes will get three attempts to lift their maximum Bench Press and three attempts to lift their maximum Deadlift. Their highest attempt for each lift is combined to determine their total, and the athlete with the highest sinclair total in their division wins.

Weight Classes:

there are not weight classes, we will be using the the sinclair method to determine the winner.

Competition Scoring - The Sinclair Method:

• All athletes will have to weight prior to competition however there are no weight categories.
• We will be using the Sinclair method for scoring.
• Sinclair Total allows us to compare multiple people in different weight classes on the same playing field.
• Sinclair scores are used to compare lifters of different body weights more fairly. The score is obtained by multiplying the lifter's Snatch and Clean & Jerk total by a coefficient which is based on body weight.

Winners:

• Winners: Athletes final score will be the highest Sinclair total 
• Tie Breaker: In case of a tie, the athlete with the lighter body weight at the time of the weigh-in is usually declared the winner.
