Want to become a Referee?

There  are many ways to contribute to our sport and one way is becoming an APU Referee. As an APU Referee, your job is vital in our organization by providing a fair, unbiased judgement of our athletes on the platform. As well, you make sure each athlete and their coach/handler follows and understands the IPF rule-book, approved equipment, and the weigh-in procedures. 

Experience Requirements:

1. Competed at least 3 times in APU/CPU powerlifting events
2. At least two years of powerlifting experience
3. Understands the IPF rulebook deeply
4. Previous APU volunteering background
5. Able to commit to at least two events in your city per year

There are two parts involved in becoming a referee:

1. Take an online test where you must achieve a 90% or higher to pass. You can take this test anytime prior to the practical. Once you have studied and are ready, you contact the Referee Chairmen to receive the online link and password to take the test.

2. Take a practical test where you sit as the Head Referee for a full session at any APU contest where the Referee Chairmen is present. You will be evaluated on your judgement calls, commands, presentation, and overall ability to referee a contest.

If you are successful after both testable portions, you will become APUs newest Provincial Referee!

The Referee Chairmen will facilitate the whole process. If you are interest in becoming an APU Referee or have any questions, please email alberta.powerlifting.union@gmail.com!

IPF Rulebook Digest

The Alberta Powerlifting Union has produced this two page document outlining what it takes to be successful at your first few competitions. The document provides information on lift commands, technical requirements, weigh-in procedures, and approved brand lists. We hope this helps new lifters learn the basics without having to read the full IPF rulebook before hand. This is a great document to print out and keep in your gym bag when competing!
