The Competition will be Professionally Judged in accordance with the World Kettlebell Club Rules of Lifting. If you are not 
familiar with proper lifting rules, you should contact and AKC Coach and make sure you are before competing. There will be a Pre-Competition Meeting to go over the Rules before Competition begins, so don’t be late. Many lifters will be attempting to acquire Rank under the World Kettlebell Club, so strict judging will be enforced. Also, the rule of the Judge is final, and you will either receive a Count or No-Count, and will not be “Coached” by the Judge during your Meet performance.
The Professional and Amateur Divisions will have 1st, 2nd and 3rd Place Medals for each Weight Category. The Master, Senior, Junior and Youth Divisions will have 1st, 2nd and 3rd Place Medals and the Places will continue with each of these in order based on number of reps. If there is a tie, the Place will be determined by the lighter lifter.
