All lifters (regardless of who officiates them, certified or noncertified) are eligible for placings in postal meets, the postal series standings, postal meet awards,and any prize money that is being awarded (LOL). That’s they way it always has been.
However, the reason this information is stated this way in the meet results is because only lifters using certified officials are eligible for USAWA records. Our rules dictate that in the rulebook.
