NEW SWA Ranking System 2024-25

Dear SWA Members,

 For the 2024/25 season, the board of directors have approved a change to the ranking system. In previous years, the SWA has based the athlete rankings' on the Sinclair coefficient. For the 2024/25 season the rankings will now be based on the percentage of the marker for each weight class set out by weightlifting canada. The markers will be included on rankings excel sheet and they can also be found here,

Weightlifting Canada, Ontario and the IWF all base their rankings on this system. 

 

If you have any questions, please do not hesitate to reach out. 

 Thanks

The policies will help to promote a safer sport environment in a manner that ensures SWA and their members have access to an independent, fair and timely, provincial complaint handling system. The policies direct the SWA to establish high standards in participant safety and offer due process.

The provincial independent complaint handling system ensures meaningful steps will be taken should any issues arise and member PSOs will aim to prevent infractions by communicating expected standards of behaviour.
