IPF Rules for Attempt Cards & Starting Weights
The lifter will receive âblankâ attempt cards (three for squat, three for bench press, five for deadlift) .
At weigh-in, the lifter (or coach) must declare a first attempt weight for each of the three lifts (squat, bench press, deadlift). These weights must be entered on the appropriate first attempt card and signed.
After a first attempt is submitted and the lifter has taken it, the lifter or coach must submit weights for the second and third attempts within one minute of completing the preceding attempt.
After the first round, weights for second and (in squat/bench) third round attempts cannot be changed once submitted.
Exception: In the third round of the deadlift, a lifter may make up to two changes on the submitted third-attempt weight (provided the bar has not yet been loaded to the previously submitted weight).
If a lifter does not submit a weight within the one-minute time limit for a further attempt, specific loading rules apply (e.g., if the previous attempt failed and no new weight is submitted, the bar may be loaded to the previous failed weight. Or if the lift was a success and no new weight was submitted 2.5 kg increment will automatically be added to the weight).
