Provincial Championship’s Best Club
Each year at the APU Provincial Championships, the APU crowns the best club at the event. This competition combines the top four lifters and one bench-only lifter from their respective clubs based on IPF Points (APU Policy and Procedure, Pg. 1). The club with the highest group total of IPF Points is deemed the winner. This award has been hotly contested from 2015. In the early years, the UAPA crushed, but now we see very close battles for the bragging rights.
