What documentation is required from a lifter during the equipment check?

The requirement for the CCES (Canadian Centre for Ethics in Sport) and CPU (Canadian Powerlifting Union) membership during the equipment check is crucial because it ensures that all participants are compliant with the ethical standards and regulations set forth by governing bodies in powerlifting. This documentation verifies that the lifter is a registered member of the appropriate national organizations, which is necessary for promoting fair competition and adherence to doping regulations.

Having valid memberships confirms that the lifter is eligible to compete, as these entities maintain the integrity of the sport through adherence to rules and regulations. The membership also provides access to competing in sanctioned events and reinforces a commitment to good sportsmanship.

Other documentation options do play a role in the overall competition but are not specifically required during the equipment check. For example, a competition entry form and ID, while important for registration, do not directly impact the equipment check where compliance with specific organizational regulations takes precedence.
