USAPL National Referee Practice Exam

Who has jurisdiction over medical tape if medical personnel or jury are not present?

The lifter The coach The chief referee The competition director

Correct Answer:

The chief referee

Explanation:

The chief referee handles safety and equipment decisions on the platform when medical personnel or a jury aren’t present. In this situation, there’s no separate medical or adjudicating body to consult, so the chief referee must assess whether the use of medical tape is acceptable and safe under the rules, and can require adjustments or removal if needed. The lifter or coach may request consideration, but the final ruling on whether the tape stays or must be changed rests with the chief referee. The competition director runs the meet logistics, not on-spot safety rulings.
