How many referees must approve raw apparel before wear in competition?

• A. One referee
• B. Three referees
• C. Four referees
• D. Two referees

Answer: (D)

Before you can wear raw apparel in a USAPL meet, it must be approved by a second official. This cross-check helps ensure the clothing meets all federation rules and that one official’s judgment isn’t the sole determinant, promoting fair and consistent enforcement. The approval happens during the pre-meet apparel check, and if something doesn’t meet the standards, the lifter can adjust and seek sign-off again. By requiring a second referee’s confirmation, the process reduces ambiguity and keeps competition decisions uniform across the event.
