4. ONCE A CLOCK IS RUNNING FOR THE LIFTER, IT CAN ONLY BE STOPPED BY THE COMPLETION OF A
TIME ALLOWANCE, BY THE START OF A
LIFT, OR AT THE DISCRETION OF THE CENTER REFEREE. IT IS OF GREAT IMPORTANCE THAT THE
LIFTER OR COACH CHECK THE HEIGHT OF
THE SQUAT RACK PRIOR TO BEING CALLED AS ONCE THE BAR IS READY, THE CLOCK IS STARTED
AND ANY FURTHER ADJUSTMENTS TO THE
RACKS WILL BE MADE WITHIN T HE LIFTERS ONE MINUTE TIME ALLOWANCE. THE LIFTER IS
ALLOWED ONE MINUTE IN WHICH TO START HIS
ATTEMPT AFTER BEING CALLED TO THE PLATFORM. IF HE DOES NOT START HIS ATTEMPT WITHIN
THE TIME ALLOWANCE, THE TIME KEEPER
WILL CALL TIME, THE LIFT WILL BE DECLARED "NO LIFT" AND THE ATTEMPT FORFEITED. WHEN THE
LIFTER STARTS THE LIFT WITHIN THE
TIME ALLOWANCE, THE CLOCK WILL BE STOPPED. IF A LIFTER APPEARS ON THE PLATFORM IN
VIOLATION OF THE UNIFORM/EQUIPMENT
RULES, THE LIFTER SHALL BE WARNED BY A REFEREE AND WILL HAVE WHATEVER TIME IS LEFT ON

IN JEOPARDY AND LIKELY TO RESULT IN
INJURY, EITHER AT THE REQUEST OF THE LIFTER, THE CENTER REFEREE, OR WHEN IT IS VERY
OBVIOUS TO THE SPOTTER/LOADERS THAT THE
LIFTER WILL MOST LIKELY BE INJURED IF THE LIFT IS TO CONTINUE. THE LIFTER SHALL STAY WITH
THE BAR AND AID IN ITS REPLACEMENT
IN THE RACK, UNLESS THE INJURY PROHIBITS THE LIFTER FROM ASSISTING.

FAULT OF HIS OWN, HE WILL BE GRANTED
ANOTHER ATTEMPT IF HE WISHES. THE CORRECTION MUST BE MADE AT THE END OF THE ROUND.

THEIR SECOND AND THIRD ATTEMPTS
WITH THE SAME WEIGHT. ALSO, A LIFTER TAKING HIS SECOND ATTEMPT MUST PRECEDE LIFTERS
TAKING THEIR THIRD ATTEMPTS WITH THE
SAME WEIGHT. ALL FIRST ATTEMPTS MUST BE TAKEN IN ROUND ONE, ALL SECOND ATTEMPTS

LOADING ERRORS OR INCORRECT ANNOUNCEMENTS BY SPEAKERS:
a. IF THE BAR IS LOADED TO A LIGHTER WEIGHT THAN ORIGINALLY REQUESTED AND THE ATTEMPT
IS SUCCESSFUL, THE LIFTER MAY
ACCEPT THE SUCCESSFUL ATTEMPT OR ELECT TO TAKE THE ATTEMPT AGAIN AT THE WEIGHT
ORIGINALLY REQUESTED. IF THE ATTEMPT IS
TO BE RE-TAKEN AT THE ORIGINALLY REQUESTED WEIGHT, THE LIFTER MAY TAKE THE ATTEMPT
AT THE END OF THE ROUND.

IS SUCCESSFUL, THE LIFTER WILL BE
GRANTED THE ATTEMPT. HOWEVER, THE WEIGHT MAY BE REDUCED AGAIN IF REQUIRED BY THE
OTHER LIFTERS. IF THE ATTEMPT IS NOT

WISHES, WITH NO PENALTY FOR ONLY
MAKING A 5 LB. JUMP. IN WPA RECOGNIZED COMPETITION THE LIFTER SHALL NOT BE PENALIZED
FOR AN ERROR OF A MEET OFFICIAL. IF
THE LIFTER WISHES TO TRY THE ATTEMPT AGAIN WITH THE AMOUNT HE SPECIFIED, HE WILL BE
GRANTED AN ADDITIONAL ATTEMPT. IF THE
ATTEMPT WITH THE AMOUNT HE ORIGINALLY SPECIFIED IS UNSUCCESSFUL HE WILL BE GIVEN
CREDIT FOR THE SUCCESSFUL LIFT WITH
ONLY A 5 LB. JUMP.
e. IF THE SPEAKER FAILS TO ANNOUNCE A LIFTER AT THE APPROPRIATE WEIGHT, THEN THE
WEIGHT ON THE BAR SHALL BE REDUCED AS
NECESSARY AND THE LIFTER SHALL BE ALLOWED TO TAKE HIS ATTEMPT.
f. THREE UNSUCCESSFUL ATTEMPTS IN ANY LIFT WILL AUTOMATICALLY ELIMINATE A LIFTER
FROM THE COMPETITION. IF PRIOR TO BEING
ELIMINATED, A LIFTER HAS SET A RECORD IN ONE OF THE OTHER LIFTS AND THE PROPER OFFICIALS
WERE PRESENT, THE LIFTER WILL BE
GRANTED THE RECORD IN THAT LIFT. HE WILL NOT BE ALLOWED TO CONTINUE WITH THE
COMPETITION HOWEVER.
g. ON COMPLETION OF A LIFT, THE LIFTER SHALL HAVE 30 SECONDS TO LEAVE THE PLATFORM.

SHALL RESULT IN DISQUALIFICATION.
h. IF A LIFTER SUFFERS AN INJURY THE OFFICIAL DOCTOR SHALL EXAMINE THE INJURY. IF HE
CONSIDERS IT INADVISABLE TO CONTINUE,
THE LIFTER MUST RETIRE FROM THE COMPETITION. IF NO DOCTOR IS PRESENT, AND THE REFEREE'S
OR MEET DIRECTOR FEEL THE LIFTER
SHOULD NOT CONTINUE LIFTING, HE SHALL RETIRE.
i. ANY LIFTER OR COACH, WHO BY REASON OF MISCONDUCT UPON OR NEAR THE COMPETITION
PLATFORM IS LIKELY TO DISCREDIT THE
SPORT, SHALL RECEIVE ONE OFFICIAL WARNING. IF THE MISCONDUCT CONTINUES THE REFEREES
WILL DISQUALIFY THE LIFTER AND ORDER
THE COACH TO LEAVE THE VENUE. THIS RULE APPLIES EVEN IF IT IS THE LIFTERS LAST LIFT OF THE
DAY AT THE COMPETITION. ANY LIFTER
WHO STRIKES AN OFFICIAL OR ANY OTHER INDIVIDUAL AT A COMPETITION WILL BE PERMANENTLY
BANNED FROM ALL WPA REGISTERED
COMPETITIONS (APA, CPA, ECT). ANY LIFTER WHO CAUSES A DISRUPTION WHICH SERIOUSLY
INTERFERES WITH THE EFFICIENT RUNNING OF
A COMPETITION, OR INTERFERES WITH LIFTERS PREPARING FOR A LIFT, WILL BE SUSPENDED FROM
WPA REGISTERED COMPETITION FOR 3
YRS.
j. ANY CERTIFIED WPA (APA OR CPA) REFEREE WHO THROUGH HIS ACTIONS IS OBVIOUSLY SHOWING
BIAS TOWARDS A LIFTER OR

LIFTER INVOLVED. THE LIFTER WILL BE
PERMANENTLY SUSPENDED FROM THE WPA AND WILL NOT BE ALLOWED TO COMPETE IN ANY
EVENT RUN BY AN ORGANIZATION
REGISTERED WITH THE WPA (SUCH AS APA OR CPA).
VII. REFEREE'S
THE REFEREE' SHALL BE THREE IN NUMBER (ONE CENTER & 2 SIDE REFEREE'S). THE CENTER REFEREE
IS RESPONSIBLE FOR GIVING THE
NECESSARY SIGNALS FOR ALL THREE LIFTS. THE THREE REFEREE'S MAY SEAT THEMSELVES IN WHAT
THEY CONSIDER TO BE THE BEST
VIEWING POSITIONS AROUND THE PLATFORM FOR EACH OF THE THREE LIFTS. REFEREE'S SHOULD
POSITION THEMSELVES IN THE BEST
VIEWING POSITION, AND MAY HAVE TO LEAN, SHIFT, OR LEAVE THEIR CHAIR TO DO SO. A REFEREE
SHOULD NOT ASK A SPOTTER TO MOVE
TO GET A BETTER VIEW OF THE LIFT - IF BY SO DOING IT COULD IN ANY WAY JEOPARDIZE THE
SAFETY OF THE LIFTER. LIFTER SAFETY
SHALL TAKE PRIORITY OVER ANYTHING ELSE. HOWEVER, THE HANDS OF THE REAR SPOTTER MAY
NOT INTERFERE WITH THE VIEWING OF
THE TOP OF THE THIGHS AT THE HIP JOINT DURING THE PERFORMANCE OF THE SQUAT.
SPECIFIC AREAS OF RESPONSIBILITY OF JUDGING FOR REFEREE'S: ALL THREE PLATFORM OFFICIALS
HAVE THE RESPONSIBILITY OF
JUDGING ALL ASPECTS OF THE LIFTERS ON THE PLATFORM. IT IS OBVIOUS THAT THE HEAD
REFEREE, FROM HIS POSITION AT THE FRONT OF
THE PLATFORM, HAS A VANTAGE POINT THAT MAKES IT MORE DIFFICULT TO JUDGE SOME
ASPECTS OF A LIFT, AS COMPARED TO THE SIDE
REFEREE'S. HOWEVER, HE DOES HAVE THE RESPONSIBILITY TO JUDGE ALL SUCH ASPECTS AND IS
NEITHER PROHIBITED NOR EXCUSED FROM
MAKING A JUDGEMENT ON CERTAIN ASPECTS OF A LIFT BECAUSE HIS VANTAGE POINT IS NOT THE
SAME AS SIDE OFFICIALS. ONCE THE
HEAD REFEREE HAS GIVEN THE STARTING SIGNAL, IT IS RECOMMENDED THAT HE NOT LEAVE HIS
CHAIR DURING THE LIFT TO GAIN BETTER
VANTAGE POINT BECAUSE THIS MAY CAUSE A DISTRACTION TO THE LIFTER.
PROCEDURE WHEN A REFEREE IS "BLOCKED" OUT OF VIEWING THE LIFT IN PROGRESS: IF, DURING
THE LIFT A SPOTTER
UNINTENTIONALLY GETS IN THE WAY OF A REFEREE'S VIEW OF THE LIFT SO THAT HE DOES NOT
ACTUALLY SEE THE LIFT, THE REFEREE
SHOULD GIVE THE LIFTER A WHITE LIGHT, AND THE SPOTTER BE WARNED.
DUTIES OF THE REFEREES: PRIOR TO THE CONTEST HE SHOULD MAKE SURE THE PLATFORM AND
EQUIPMENT COMPLY IN ALL RESPECTS
WITH THE RULES, THE SCALES BE WORKING PROPERLY AND BE CERTIFIED ACCURATE WITHIN THE
LAST 12 MONTHS, ASSURE THAT WEIGH-
INS BE CONDUCTED LEGALLY AND PROPER, AND ASSURE A THOROUGH RULES BRIEFING IS
CONDUCTED PRIOR TO THE TIME THAT THE
LIFTING STARTS. DURING THE CONTEST HE SHOULD MAKE SURE THAT THE WEIGHT ON THE BAR BE
LOADED THE SAME AS THE SPEAKER
ANNOUNCES. ALL THREE REFEREES SHOULD BE ISSUED LOADING CHARTS. DURING THE MEET IF ANY
REFEREE HAS REASON TO DOUBT A
LIFTERS INTEGRITY IN RESPECT TO INTENTIONAL USE OF INVALID ATTIRE OR EQUIPMENT TO GIVE
THE LIFTER AN UNFAIR ADVANTAGE
OVER OTHER COMPETITORS, THE REFEREE SHALL CALL THIS TO THE ATTENTION OF THE OTHER
REFEREE'S AND INSPECT THE LIFTER. IF THE
INFRACTION IS MAJOR THE LIFTER SHALL BE DISQUALIFIED FROM THE COMPETITION. IF THE
INFRACTION IS MINOR THE LIFTER SHALL BE
WARNED.
PROCEDURE OF A REFEREE SEEING A FAULT OF THE LIFTER OR LIFT: HE SHALL CALL ATTENTION TO
THE FAULT. IF THE HEAD REFEREE
OR OTHER SIDE REFEREE IS IN AGREEMENT, THIS WILL CONSTITUTE MAJORITY OPINION AND THE
CENTER REFEREE WILL STOP THE LIFT AT A
DISCRETIONARY SAFE POINT. HE WILL THEN SIGNAL THE LIFTER TO "RACK OR DOWN" AND GIVE
THE APPROPRIATE HAND SIGNAL. OR HE
SHALL ORDER THE SPOTTERS TO TAKE THE BAR.
PROCEDURE FOR A LIFTER TO BE INFORMED OF INFRACTIONS WHICH CAUSE HIM TO RECEIVE A RED
LIGHT: A LIFTER RECEIVING A RED
LIGHT FOR A LIGHT MAY (IF HE/SHE DESIRES) APPROACH A REFEREE AFTER COMPLETION OF THE
LIFT AND NOT DURING THE
COMMENCEMENT OF THE NEXT LIFT, AND ASCERTAIN WHY HE/SHE RECEIVED A RED LIGHT. THE
REFEREE SHALL INFORM THE LIFTER AS TO
WHY A RED LIGHT WAS GIVEN. THE LIFTER SHOULD NOT, HOWEVER, APPROACH AND ASK A REFEREE
WHY A RED LIGHT WAS GIVEN, AFTER
SEVERAL LIFTS HAVE GONE BY FOLLOWING HIS/HER OWN.
NON-INFLUENCE OF REFEREE'S TOWARD EACH OTHER: REFEREE'S MAY NOT VETO OR OVERULE
EACH OTHER. A REFEREE SHALL NOT
ATTEMPT TO INFLUENCE THE DECISIONS OF OTHER REFEREE'S. THERE SHALL NOT BE RANKING OF
REFEREES. ALL REFEREE'S ARE EQUAL. IF
A REFEREE IS PARTIAL TOWARDS A CERTAIN LIFTER OR BIAS IN HIS OPINION AND FEELS IT WILL
INTERFERE WITH HIS JUDGEMENT HE WILL
INFORM THE OTHER REFEREES SO HE CAN BE REPLACED WHILE THAT LIFTER IS LIFTING.
ACCEPTABLE REFEREE COMMUNICATION: REFEREE'S MAY CONSULT WITH EACH OTHER OR ANY
OTHER OFFICIAL IN ORDER TO EXPEDITE
THE COMPETITION, OR TO CORRECT FAULTS.
REFEREE DRESS CODE: REFEREE'S SHOULD DRESS NEAT AND APPROPRIATE. THEY SHALL NOT DRESS
IN A MANNER WHICH WILL CAUSE
THE PUBLIC TO VIEW THE SPORT IN AN UNFAVORABLE VIEW.
