2020/21 Virtual Competitions
Membership update: September 10, 2020
The SWA has received questions regarding its social media post on Saturday, September 5th, re: 2020/21 Virtual Competitions. The questions were reviewed by the SWA and the Officials Committee, with the following answers provided below:
1. Video submission through Instagram
The challenges in coordinating virtual competitions for the upcoming season are varied and numerous. Due to differences in video quality between various forms of submission, limiting submissions to our Instagram channel ensures officiating accuracy is not impacted by differences in video quality. In addition, since officiating for virtual meets will be done using physical distancing, it is imperative videos are submitted in a manner publicly accessible, enabling meet officials with the ability to access the video for review. Videos posted on Instagram allows for these goals to be met.
When submitting your video (s), please indicate your full name.
September 14 – 20, 2020
Video submissions must be sent to the SWA via Instagram: MUST INCLUDE THE HASHTAG #2020SWAopener in the description
Additionally, all video submissions MUST TAG @sask_weightlifting in the post
October 5 – 12, 2020
Video submissions must be sent to the SWA via Instagram: MUST INCLUDE THE HASHTAG #2020SWAopener in the description
Additionally, all video submissions MUST TAG @sask_weightlifting in the post
2. Number of Submissions
Lifters are encouraged to submit more than one lift, per discipline, in the event a video is judged as being a no lift.
3. Weight Submission through Instagram
Lifters have the option of submitting their weight video through Instagram or through email, to: info@saskweightlifting.com
4. Showing Elbows and Knees
The purpose of this rule is to prevent athletes from wearing baggy clothing that covers the elbows and/or knees, which would obstruct the officials’ ability to accurately judge each lift. For example, the use of knee sleeves is acceptable, so long as the angle of the knees is not obstructed by the sleeve (no different than an in person meet).
