How many of you find the current rules situation confusing with no BWLA rulebook being available?

I went through the IPF rulebook yesterday as well as all the published congress notes on the website, but still could find no reference to the equipment requirments for juniors ... It is now high time we had a BWLA rulebook that is specific to the UK.

I have been told that it is sufficient for the IPF rulebook being available on the web. I say it is not. I asked BWLA two years ago to consider making a UK rulebook available and this has not been done. Professional organisations provide a rulebook on joining and this is a fundamentally important point.

Junior apparel rules and many other items need to be in writing and available to all. I do read the International Powerlifter and check the IPF rule changes, but this is not sufficient to ensure we are aware of all the changes.

BWLA Powerlifting has adopted the IPF Rule Book and will be using these rules at all competitions. This decision favours all the lifters, especially those who lift internationally.

concerning foreign lifters who reside in this country they are aparently so we just been told no longer allowed to lift in BWLA competitions unless given a letter from their home federations they have never failed a drug test , we have tried getting these letters and everyone has been ignored so it looks like BWLA's memberships will drop next year
