No-count is issued for: (1) No fixation — lifter and kettlebell do not become motionless, (2) No alignment — excessive lean, rotation, incomplete extension, (3) Free hand assist — using free hand to support or stabilize the kettlebell, (4) No arm lockout — arm does not straighten before legs straighten.
Repetitions are marked invalid (no-count / 'not considered') for: (1) Absence of fixation at starting or top position — the athlete and kettlebell do not become completely motionless. (2) Additional pressing or pushing movements during the lift — the bell must be lifted in a continuous manner without stopping. (3) Arms, trunk, or legs not straightened at lockout (incomplete extension). (4) Excessive lean or rotation at lockout. (5) During snatch: contact between the free hand and body, platform, or kettlebell.

A no-count is issued for: (1) No fixation - lifter and kettlebell do not become motionless at the top, (2) No alignment - excessive lean, rotation, or incomplete extension, (3) Hand violation - using the free hand to support or stabilize the kettlebell, (4) Switching violation - improper hand change technique. Upon receiving a no-count, the lifter must return to the starting position and self-correct.
A repetition receives a no-count for: (1) No fixation — lifter and kettlebell do not become motionless in the overhead position, (2) Arm not vertical — overhead position less than 90 degrees perpendicular to floor, (3) Incomplete extension — elbows or knees not fully straightened, (4) Press or push press used instead of jerk technique, (5) Free hand touches the kettlebell during the lift, (6) Free hand or body part touches the platform, legs, or lifting arm.
The free hand cannot be used to complete a repetition. Using the free hand to assist in pressing or stabilizing the kettlebell overhead results in a no-count. For example, using the free hand to help complete a press results in the lifter receiving a no-count. No-Count: Free Hand Rack Recovery: The free hand cannot be used to achieve fixation or to recover a weight that is falling out of position. If the kettlebell is sliding out of the rack position and the lifter uses the free hand to prevent it, the lifter must perform the clean again for the repetition to count. No-Count: No Fixation: A no-count is issued if fixation is not achieved in the overhead position. The bell and the lifter must both come to a momentary stop with all joints locked out. No-Count: No Rack Lockout: A no-count is issued if the lifter does not demonstrate knee lockout in the rack position before initiating the jerk or overhead movement.
