In which scenario would a lifter receive a score for a lift?

A lifter receives a score for a lift when the lift meets all of the competition criteria. This encompasses various factors, including proper lifting technique, adherence to weight class requirements, and compliance with specific rules such as grip width and stance. In powerlifting competitions, judges evaluate whether the lifter has successfully executed the lift in accordance with the established regulations of the competition.

While completing a lift within the time limit and maintaining proper form are important elements, they alone do not guarantee a score. The most crucial factor is whether the lift meets all competition criteria, which ensures that the lift is valid and recognized within the context of the official rules. Furthermore, successfully lifting the maximum weight does not inherently qualify the lift for scoring if the other criteria are not satisfied.
