Team Flow
Teams may start with F1s opening weight on the bar. At the call of 3-2-1 GO! F1 and F2 will work for 6 minutes to establish each of their heaviest lifts in the snatch complex and the clean complex respectively. At the end of 6 minutes, all four athletes have 1 minute to transition from the female to male barbell. The athletes are permitted to start with M1s opening weight on the bar. M1 and M2 will work for 6 minutes to establish each of their heaviest lifts in the snatch complex and clean complex.
The total weight of the females’ complexes is Score 1. The total weight of the males’ complexes is Score 2.
** Key Points for Teams** There will be a male and female bar available for use, respectively. The M/F pair not actively working must remain in the starting box. The M/F athlete actively lifting is permitted on the platform. The second athlete is permitted in the vicinity near the platform, designated by the judge. Only 1 bar may be loaded at a time. Female bars may be stripped down before their allotted time expires, however teams cannot begin loading the male bar until the transition minute has begun. Athletes are permitted to move up and down in weight as they choose. F/F and M/M pairs can alternate between lifts as they desire. Once a lift is complete and noted as a good rep, the athlete may continue adding weight and attempting lifts until time expires. Athletes actively in the lifting movement pattern as time expires are permitted to complete the lift. If an athlete breaks their complex at any time by dropping the bar, they will be required to restart the complex from the beginning. For instance, once an athlete completes the first clean or snatch, the bar cannot go back to the ground until the entire complex is complete. Any form of clean, jerk or snatch is permitted within the movement descriptions. Teammates may assist in loading weight. Collars must always be worn during lifts.
Standards
Clean Complex: The rep begins with the barbell on the ground. The athlete will clean the bar in one motion to the front rack position using any clean style; power, squat, or split. The clean is complete when the athlete receives the bar in the front rack with the elbows clearly in front of the hands and achieves full extension of hips/knees. If the barbell is lowered before full extension of hips/knees, the rep will not count. From here, the athlete will do the first of two hang cleans from anywhere at or above the knees using any style clean, finishing in the same position as the first clean. The athlete will complete a second hang clean in the same manner. From the finishing position of the second hang clean, the athlete will complete 1 jerk, any style.
Once the first clean is performed, the athlete cannot place the bar back on the ground until the entire complex is complete. If the athlete misses a hang clean or jerk, they may re-attempt without starting the complex over if the bar does not drop to the ground. If the bar drops to the ground the athlete must reattempt the complex starting at the beginning.
Snatch Complex: The rep begins with the barbell on the ground. The athlete will snatch the bar in one smooth motion overhead using any snatch style; power, squat, or split. The snatch is complete when the athlete lifts the bar overhead and achieves full extension of hips/knees and returns feet under the hips. From here, the athlete will begin the hang snatch from anywhere at or above the knees using any style snatch and finishing in the same position as the first. From this finished position, the athlete will directly descend into the overhead squat. The hip crease must pass below the top of the knee at the bottom of the squat. To finish the overhead squat, the barbell must come to full lockout overhead, with the athlete’s hips, knees and arms fully extended, and the bar directly over the middle of the body.
Once the first snatch is complete, the athlete cannot place the bar back on the ground until the entire complex is complete. If the athlete misses a hang snatch, they may re-attempt without starting the complex over if the bar does not drop to the ground. If the bar drops to the ground the athlete may reattempt the complex starting at the beginning.

Individual Flow
Athletes may start with their opening weight on the bar. At the call of 3-2-1 GO! The athlete will work for 7 minutes to establish their heaviest lift in the snatch complex and the clean complex (according to division). Once a lift is complete and noted as a good rep, the athlete may continue adding weight and attempting lifts until time expires. Athletes actively in the lifting movement pattern as the time expires are permitted to complete the lift. If the athlete breaks their complex at any time by dropping the bar, they will be required to restart the complex from the beginning. For instance, once the athlete completes the first clean or snatch, the bar cannot go back to the ground until the entire complex is complete. Any form of clean, jerk or snatch is permitted within the movement descriptions. The athlete is permitted to go down in weight to complete the lift. Collars must always be worn during lifts.
