If successful, lifters may have as many as 4 attempts.GENERAL RULES:Lifting attire should be neat and presentable.  A competition T-Shirt will be provided and must be worn during the contest (making a cut off is ok).Wrist wraps are NOT allowed in all disciplines.Ordinary chalk (magnesium carbonate) may be used on the lifter's hands.   (Liquid chalk and tacky, for example, are specifically disallowed).Non-lifting arm, in one arm lifts, shall not in any way be used as support or to brace the body.No implements may be supported by the body.  Implements may contact the body and touch the body when locked out if a lifter’s stance and anatomy create those circumstances, but in NO WAY can the legs re-bend to support an implement.The lifter may not hitch the bar to lockout.  If the bar begins to move downward, the athlete must start the lift over if time permits.There is NO video protest or challenge of the referee’s decision. Overall Scoring: Percentage based scoring will be used. For example, if 100 kg wins the Rolling Thunder, that athlete will receive 100 points. If the second-place athlete lifts 90kg, they will receive 90 points. The winner is the athlete with the most points at the end of the contest. Should two athletes tie, the athlete with the lower body weight at the time of weigh ins will place higher. Should both athletes have identical body weight at weigh in, they will re weigh after the contest and the lighter athlete will place higher.
