Section X: Establishing World Records.- World records may be set at National, International, regional, local and World Competitions, where there are three ISA Senior Referees on the platform. - The competition must be conducted under the ISA rules and regulations. - The world record lifter must be a current member of the ISA/ISAA and be in good standings with said organization. - The barbell and discs were weighed before the competition, all actual weights accurately recorded and able to be verified by the referees or appointed ISA Official. - The lifter must weigh in correctly before the competition. - The scales used must have a current scale test slip prepared by the Municipal Sealer of Weights and Measures or by an authorized scale company. - The lifters costume and personal equipment was in accordance with the rules. - Duplicate copies of fully completed world record applications, signed by the three referees, must be sent separately to the ISA World Records Register at the ISA Headquarters. A copy of the official score sheet must also accompany both records. If the record is set in a teenage or master division, a copy of the lifters identification must accompany the records. If there was no proof of age at the competition, then it is the lifters responsibility to send the required documents to the ISA Headquarters. All proof of the world record must reach the ISA Headquarters within 30 days of the world record lift. - If, in any competition recognized by the ISA, a lifter is successful with a 2nd or 3rd attempt that falls within 20 kg of a current world record, the lifter may request a fourth attempt that exceeds the world record. Such an attempt will be registered outside the total. Additional attempts will not be permitted. - Only lifters actually competing in a competition may attempt world records. - Under no circumstances can lifters not taking part in the full competition be allowed to attempt world records on individual lifts. - In the event of two lifters, at the same competition, breaking either a current individual or total record with the same weight, the lighter will be declared the new record holder. If both lifters weighed in at the same body weight, they will be reweighed after the lift. If they re-weigh the same again, they both will be record holders. - New individual lift records are only valid if they exceed the previous record by at least 500 grams. Fractions of 500 grams are not acceptable. - Records are only valid for the body weight category of the lifter as determined at the official weigh-in. - A total record can only be valid if the bar and discs used in the competition have been weighed, and verified within the specifications before the competition. - The record will only be the summation of the face value of the individual best lifts, and therefore must be a multiple of 2.5 kg. - No fourth attempts may be added to the total. - Records set on individual lifts will only be valid if the lifter makes a total in the competition. - Records that are set during one lift only competitions (bench press only, deadlift only, etc.), shall not be considered as ISA World Records. These records shall be noted and established as Official One lift records in their respective divisions. - If a lifter attempting a fourth attempt world record is one of the last four lifters of the flight in the third attempt, they will receive up to three additional minutes rest prior to their fourth attempt. The very last lifter of the flight requesting a fourth attempt will have three minutes because they are following themselves, plus the additional three minutes. -For a lifter to take a fourth attempt as a world record they must have completed their third attempt. |
