Heavy Metal Barbell is proud to partner with clubs around North Carolina to bring an exciting three part team competition to the weightlifting community! This weightlifting meet on January 27th at Charlotte Strength will be the first of three competitions, together creating a competitive "season". These USA Weightlifting Sanctioned events will allow athletes to qualify for Carolinas WSO Championships and USAW National Events.
The Triple Crown will offer a Team Based Scoring System, 'Lou-Clair", a variation of the Sinclair Formula that levels the playing field for Novice, Intermediate, and Elite Athletes.
- Teams are composed of 2 Male and 2 Female Athletes.
- Novice Athletes are defined as those whose total does not qualify for AO Series Events.
- Intermediate Athletes are defined as those whose total does not qualify for Senior Nationals.
- Elite Athletes are defined as those whose total qualifies for Senior Nationals and above.
- Novices receive a boost in Sinclair score for each made attempt.
- Elites receive a Sinclair penalty for each missed attempt, and no additional score boost for their made attempts.
- Intermediates can boost score with made attempts but also suffer a penalty for missed attempts.
- The team with the highest combined Lou-Clair Score at the end of the competition wins.
- Cumulative Team scores will be kept across the three events to determine the Carolina Triple Crown Champions!
