What must lifters have ready during the weigh-in process?

During the weigh-in process, lifters are required to present a valid ID and their scorecard to ensure proper identification and record-keeping. The valid ID confirms the lifter's identity and eligibility to compete, while the scorecard often includes essential information such as the lifter's category, weight class, and other pertinent details necessary for a smooth competition process. This practice helps maintain the integrity of the competition by verifying the lifter's credentials before they participate.

Having just competition numbers, proof of endorsements from coaches, or their lifting uniforms and belts would not meet the essential requirements for the weigh-in. The focus is on official identification and documentation that aligns with competition regulations to ensure a fair and organized event.
