The Rules

Snatch:

Snatch can be power or full (no hang or block snatch).
Athletes must show complete lock out and control over the barbell at the end of the rep, with the knees, hips, and arms extended and stacked over the feet.
Straps CAN be used for the Snatch. 

Clean and Jerk:

Clean can be power or full (no hang or block cleans).
Jerks can be split, power or squat. Athletes must show complete lock out and control over the barbell at the end of the rep, with the knees, hips, and arms extended and stacked over the feet.
Press out IS allowed in the Jerk.

Weight Categories

Athletes are required to weigh in on camera and clearly show the weight to the camera.
Weighing in can be done at home on the morning of the competition.
The weigh in will need to be recorded in a time stamped video and uploaded to the WeTime app.
The weigh in does not need to be completed in lifters, knee sleeves, or any other accessories - these can be added post weigh in.

Terms and Conditions

Athletes are required to weigh in.

Bodyweight will be rounded up to the nearest KG. For example: a bodyweight of 74.3kg will be rounded up to 75kg.

Workout can start with a loaded barbell, but all plates must be stripped after the final successful attempt before the recording stops. This is for weight verification. (Note: This can be done after the 10 minute timer stops - see WeTime run through on Disord for an example of this).

Athletes must state the weight of their attempt to the camera before attempting a lift. This is a requirement for both the Snatch and the Clean and Jerk. 

Athletes must only use one bar for all lifts.

Athletes must use clips for all attempts.

Athletes must change their own weights.

If using LBS, please convert your score to KG and round up to the nearest KG.

Scores ran through special formulas that take into account gender and bodyweight, meaning that there is an even playing field across the board.

Our goal is to make weightlifting competitions a little more fun: you can wear whatever you like! No requirements for outfits or singlets!

Recording & Competition Entry

In order to take part, competitors are required to use the app ‘WeTime’.

(If you don’t already have this, you can download the app here: https://wetime.io/) 

Once you have the app, you can find TLZ 002 on the home screen. This will give you access to our personal timers.

The competition will be split into 2 parts recorded over 2 separate videos (one for the Snatch, and one for the Clean and Jerk). There will also be a separate video for athlete's weight on the morning of the competition. This will also need to be uploaded to comp corner.

Athletes must use WeTime to record all videos as the TLZ Judges will be using the timestamp connected to the videos to verify that both videos were recorded within the 60 minute time frame.

Any competition entries that don’t abide by the 60 minute time cap will automatically be disqualified and not considered. 

Athletes must include a time stamped video showing each individual weight and clip or collar on one side of the barbell so that the correct weight can be confirmed by the judging panel. 

Once you have completed your competition entry, all of your videos must be uploaded to YouTube or a video streaming service and set to ‘unlisted’ or ‘public’ for review. Or using a Wetime video link.

All submissions must be uploaded by GMT 5am Monday 26/06/23 (California, 9pm Sunday. Sydney, 4pm Monday)

To win the prize you must have an active subscription. 

You may compete as a guest on the free trial but you will be unable to win a prize.
