Notes

• This format was chosen to give the best possible rest time for each athlete.
• The women will typically have a 6 lift wait between their attempts
• The men will typically have a 4 lift wait.
• The men’s snatches will start immediately after the 21 women’s Snatch attempts
• The women will start the C&J after the 15 men’s Snatches, plus the 10 minute break
• The men’s C&Js will start immediately after the 21 women’s C&J attempts

• Make sure you have reliable wifi, or, if possible, a physical network connection
• Poor quality audio or loud background music will make it difficult to hear the Announcer call your name
• Poor quality video might result in a No Lift ruling if the officials cannot verify the lift
• Attempts missed due to bad or lost connections will be ruled No Lift
• A link to the live scoreboard, including attempt clock, will be provided
  • This is a web page, NOT part of the Zoom meeting
  • Ideally the scoreboard should be displayed on a separate device
