Pick a team. Score points from real IPF results. Compete on the leaderboard. Here's every rule, in detail.
Before a competition begins, you pick a squad of 8 powerlifters from the entry list. Each lifter has a price in £m set by us based on their strength and ranking. You have a £100m salary cap to spend across all 8 picks.
Assign one of your 8 picks as captain. Their total score is multiplied by 2×. Pick the lifter you're most confident will score highly.
Teams lock at midnight before the first day of lifting. After that, no changes can be made. You can edit your team as many times as you like before the lock.
Every lifter earns a score from their performance. The formula is:
Score = GL + Attempt + Placement + Record + Beat-Prediction
Captain score = Score × 2
If a lifter fails to record a valid total (DNF), they score 0 points regardless of other values.
IPF Goodlift (GL) points measure how strong a lift is relative to the lifter's bodyweight. A heavier total at a lighter bodyweight scores more. Ranges from ~50 to 130+ for elite lifters.
Bonus points for going perfect (or close to it) across all 9 competition attempts (3 squat, 3 bench, 3 deadlift).
| Successful Lifts | Bonus |
|---|---|
| 9/9 | 15 pts |
| 8/9 | 8 pts |
| 7/9 | 3 pts |
| 6/9 or fewer | 0 pts |
Bonus points for finishing in the top 8 of their weight class.
| Place | Bonus |
|---|---|
| 1st | 20 pts |
| 2nd | 14 pts |
| 3rd | 10 pts |
| 4th | 7 pts |
| 5th | 5 pts |
| 6th | 3 pts |
| 7th | 2 pts |
| 8th | 1 pts |
| Outside top 8 | 0 pts |
If a lifter breaks a record during the competition, they earn a flat 30 point bonus. The type of record (world, national, junior, etc.) is defined by the admins for each event. Awarded once per lifter.
Each lifter has a predicted total based on their previous performances and personal bests. If they lift more than their predicted total, they earn 15 bonus points. Rewards overperformance.
When you submit, you also enter a GL prediction: your guess for the highest overall GL score among men and among women.
If two or more teams tie on total score, the closest combined GL prediction (men's + women's) wins. Smaller difference wins.
If two users submit identical predictions, the team that was submitted earliest wins.
Your lifter scores 105.3 GL points, goes 8/9 on attempts, finishes 2nd in their class, and beats their predicted total. No record broken.
Yes, completely free. No entry fee, no in-app purchases.
It helps, but you don't need to be an expert. Lifter prices and seedings give you a starting point — expensive lifters are expected to score well.
Yes, edit as many times as you like before the lock time (midnight before the first day of lifting). After that, your team is final.
IPF Goodlift (GL) points are a standardised formula that compares lifters across different bodyweights. A 600kg total at 83kg bodyweight scores more GL points than the same total at 120kg. A strength-per-kilo measure.
Each lifter has a predicted total based on their recent performances and personal bests. If they finish with a higher total than predicted, they earn the beat-prediction bonus.
Your captain's entire score (GL + all bonuses) is multiplied by 2. Pick the lifter you expect to earn the most total points.
If a lifter fails to record a valid total (e.g. missing all three squat attempts), they score 0 points. No bonuses apply. Picking consistent lifters reduces this risk.
To stop everyone picking the same dominant nation. The 2-lifter-per-nation cap forces diversification. This limit is disabled for national championships where all lifters share the same country.
Yes. Each competition is independent. Your teams are listed on the My Teams page.
