In USAPL rules, how many white lights are required at minimum for a successful lift?

• A. At least two white lights from the three referees
• B. All three referees must show white lights
• C. Two white lights from the three referees
• D. Only one white light is required

Answer: (C)

In USAPL judging, three referees indicate whether a lift is good by signaling white lights. A lift is considered successful when a majority of referees signal white. With three referees, that means at least two whites are required. So the minimum number of white lights needed is two, even if the third referee signals red. If only one white light (or none) is shown, the lift fails. Three whites would also result in a successful lift, but two whites is the minimal threshold.
