What is the minimum number of white lights required for a lift to be considered successful?

• A. Two white lights
• B. One white light
• C. Two white lights from the three referees
• D. No lights

Answer: (C)

Two white signals are required because judging uses a majority from the three referees. Each referee can signal white for a good lift or red for a failed lift, and the lift is considered successful only if at least two referees indicate success. This majority rule protects against a single referee misreading or a timing issue deciding the outcome. So, the minimum number of white lights needed is two from the three referees. If two or three show white, the lift counts; if two or three show red, the lift fails.
