First -big girls rock imo, now that's out of the way, Spatts-if it's the USAPL (which it sounds like it is) they test and only single ply poly gear is allowed (unless there has been a change ) they go by IPF rules and are overly strict imo. I believe in fair judging, but all the bad stuff you hear from smaller fed's and their relaxed rules the IPF fed's go to the other extreme and ends up screwing over the lifter most of the time. I've seen rock bottom squats turned down on depth, pauses held longer than 2 seconds and lifter's red lighted-and refusal to tell them why. On the good side if you can lift in their meet and win everyone knows your lifts are the real deal.
