WUAP - RULE CHANGE

This change should clarify the new world and continental records during competitions.

This change will help the referees to watch the record lifts and also the refs on the refs table with registration of the records.

This change should simplify the registration of world and continental records in record tables.

- World, European or American Records which are set by an athlete who is competing in a Powerlifting division, will only be applied to the Powerlifting records. These powerlifting records will no longer be applied to the stand alone lifts (BenchPress Only, or Deadlift Only) regardless if the Powerlifting record for BenchPress or Deadlift exceeds the stand alone Record.

- World, European, or American Records will only be accepted as records when the athlete or athletes representative has informed the scoring table that the upcoming attempt is a record attempt. The athlete will be checked by a referee after any successful record attempt. If the record attempt is approved by the referee, the record will then be recorded.

 

NOTE: If an athlete does not inform the scoring table of the record attempt, any successful attempt will be counted as part of competition, but no record will be awarded.
