Virtual British Open Series: round one results

The first quarter of the virtual British open series has closed with 68 athletes taking part including senior, master, youth and development age group lifters.

The Virtual British Open Series will be run every quarter throughout 2022 and is open to all BWL members across the UK and is classed as a Tier 3 event. It is perfect for anyone wanting to start competing but is not able to get to a club competition or anyone who would like to practise their competitive lifts in the run up to an event.

Although all results from the British Open Series are eligible for ranking and qualification, the series itself is not scored on total.  It is scored on points; the series winner is the male and female lifter in each age group with the highest combined points score after the series final event. 

The type of points used for scoring each age group are:

Development                      Technique Points

Youth                                     Sinclair Points

Senior                                    Sinclair Points

Masters                                 SMF Points
