The board
The weekend's biggest totals, across all four days. Total is the headline number; DOTS adjusts for bodyweight, so it ranks strength across weight classes — which is where the board gets interesting.
APF/AAPF contests both raw and equipped lifting, which is part of why the totals at the top run so high.

APF/AAPF runs raw and equipped lifters together, so these boards mix categories — gear lifts an equipped total well above a raw one, and DOTS adjusts for bodyweight and sex but not equipment. Compare within an equipment category, not across.
