FULSND Online event Rules

  1. You must have entered FULSND prior lifting, and all lifts must have been completed during the actual FULSND Competition period

  2. All submissions must be filmed (see video guidelines below)

    1. Any social media tags must be accompanied by a video to be entered in the daily draw

    2. It is recommended but not required to include a video link when submitting results to Competition Corner. Please note if in the top (up to) 15 of your category however your submission will be checked and if you haven’t submitted a video, and are unable to produce one, your submission will be disregarded in final results

  3. All athletes must be able to verify their bodyweight, date of lift completion and weight on the bar if requested

    1. It is recommended to lift with coloured bumper plates where possible so the weight on the barbell is clear. If unable, please clearly show the weight on the bar in your video submission

  4. Athletes can resubmit in the event they achieve a higher weight later in the week, provided it is before the submission deadline of Monday 2 December

  5. It is athlete’s responsibility to ensure final submissions are compliant with all event rules; submission verification will only take place following the submission deadline and any athlete who’s submission is deemed ineligible will not be able to resubmit. 

Technical Rules: Snatch

  1. The lift must begin from the ground and be taken above the head in one motion

  2. Athletes can only be connected to the bar with their hands (no straps)

  3. Athletes are permitted to use protective sleeves, wraps, and belt if desired

  4. So long as the bar goes overhead in one motion there is no minimum requirement for moving back under it; muscle, power (partial squat) and full (squat) variations are all permitted

  5. The athlete must stand fully (straighten knees, feet in line) with the bar overhead and under control for it to be ‘completed’. If the bar is dropped behind or the athlete is still in the process of standing up or taking steps when they drop the bar this is considered an incomplete lift and will not be recognised

Technical Rules: Clean & Jerk

  1. The lift must begin from the ground and be taken above the head in two motions; to the shoulders, and then from the shoulders to overhead. Note; if your mobility is such that the bar doesn’t touch your shoulders, you need to work on that. The bar moving to a space in front of your shoulders, or part way up your chest… is not it. 

  2. Athletes can only be connected to the bar with their hands (no straps)

  3. Athletes are permitted to use protective sleeves, wraps, and belt if desired

  4. In the clean, so long as the bar moves to the shoulders in one continuous motion there is no minimum requirement for moving back under it; muscle, power (partial squat) and full (squat) variations are all permitted. In the jerk, so long as the bar moves from the shoulders to overhead in one motion there is no minimum requirement for moving back under it; press, power jerk, split jerk and squat jerk variations are all permitted.

  5. The athlete must stand fully (straighten knees, feet in line) with the bar overhead and under control for it to be ‘completed’. If the bar is dropped behind or the athlete is still in the process of standing up or taking steps when they drop the bar this is considered an incomplete lift and will not be recognised

Video Guidelines

  1. The lift must be filmed on an angle between directly side on to directly in front of the athlete

  2. The entire athlete and barbell must remain in frame throughout the lift, with the camera between 2-4 metres from the athlete

  3. The video quality and lighting must be sufficient to clearly see the athlete and barbell

  4. Film with a standard lens (ie not 0.5) and do not include any filters with video submissions
