how to

qualify

All Stars events will be based on qualifying with DOTS scores, versus qualifying with qualifying totals from USPA-specific events.

For example, a Drug Tested All Stars event’s registration will initially open to the winners of previous Drug Tested All Stars events, and male/female lifters with a 500+/475+ DOTS score from a drug tested U.S. event during the qualifying period, respectively. After that initial registration period, if spots are still available, registration will then open to male/female lifters with a 475+/450+ DOTS score from a drug tested U.S. event during the qualifying period, respectively.

FAQ

Simply put, DOTS is a formula used to gauge a lifters’ strength via bodyweight, age, equipment category, etc. compared with their total weight lifted. DOTS is the criteria used for lifter rankings within the USPA.
Lifters who are qualified with their DOTS/qualifying periods will be sent invites and registration links from the USPA National Office via Instagram or email. If you don’t receive an invite (ie. your contact information isn’t available on OpenPowerlifting.org), and you would like to request one, you can reach out to Tyler Van Loon at [email protected].
