Battle for the Belt League Details

With a thank you to another weightlifting federation, we roll out our own weightlifting league. The details as the lifters battle for the belt for the month of June.
There are three events: June 2 and June 30 in our club and June 9 (a meet in Lexington). Points will be accumulated by all participants and the lifter with the most points takes the belt and some cash. Cash will be awarded to 2nd and 3rd place lifters, too. So, lots of motivation especially when pride is on the line!!

Each competitor’s total, whether in training or competition as of May 31, 2012 is used to calculate what percentage of the relevant Ohio state record total. If a lifter has never competed before, automatically Division 4 and, in the absence of personal records, cannot get bonus or penalty points. Can get 6 for 6 bonus points.
The contested lifts are snatch and clean & jerk. Tie breaker, should it exist, will be front squat on June 30. If still tied after that, Triple C Leg Cranks performed in shortest time will win.

The final total divided by the current record x 100 = Percentage Points. The divisions are set up this way:
Division 1 >= 60% of OHIO RECORD, multiplier of 1.75 to bonus and penalty points
Division 2 <60% >=50% of OHIO RECORD, multiplier of 1.50 to bonus and penalty points
Division 3 <50% >=40% of OHIO RECORD, multiplier of 1.25 to bonus and penalty points
Division 4 <40% of OHIO RECORD, no bonus multiplier

Personal Best Bonus
Points will be awarded for equalling or exceeding current Personal Best results according to the following scale:

Heaviest Snatch equalling Personal Best 1 Point, Heaviest Snatch exceeding Personal Best 5 Points
Heaviest Clean & Jerk equalling Personal Best 1 Point, Heaviest Clean & Jerk exceeding Personal Best 5 Points
Final Total equalling Personal Best 1 Point, Final Total exceeding Personal Best 5 Points
Six out of Six Bonus
Six (6) points will be awarded for all six attempts being successfully completed, in any meet.

Penalty Points
The following Penalty Points will accrue for performances below Personal Best:
Heaviest Snatch more than 2kg below Personal Best -3 Points,
Heaviest Snatch more than 5kg below Personal Best -5 Points

Heaviest Clean & Jerk more than 5kg below Personal Best -3 Points
Heaviest Clean & Jerk more than 8kg below Personal Best -5 Points

Final Total more than 4kg below Personal Best -3 Points
Final Total more than 8kg below Personal Best -5 Points
Bombing out has a penalty of 10 points

Calculating the Final Score
Division Multiplier (Bonus Points less Penalty Points) = Final Score, total up all final scores, lifter with the highest point total on June 30, wins. Belt and 70% of money go to winner. 20% of money goes to second place, 10% of money goes to 3rd place.

Keith holds the belt now: Will he be the first to successfully defend it??
