The 4-year IPF referee certification cycle ends in 2019. The 4-year cycle is the same for everyone regardless of when a referee earned the IPF rank. According to the IPF rules, “International Referees, both Category 1 and 2, must have refereed a minimum of two (2) International Powerlifting or Bench Press Championships and two (2) National Powerlifting Championships during the previous four-year period between Olympic years in order to be acceptable for re-registration.”
Please complete and submit the form below no later than December 15. Even if you have already submitted the recertification form on the IPF website, please also submit the form below. If you do not meet the minimum requirements and/or you do not wish to be recertified as an IPF referee, please send an email to Technical Committee chairman Joe Warpeha at tc@usapowerlifting.com
