I'm not sure why this is even in dispute. It should be the choice of the private judging associations and no one else. The state has no say.

This is the way it is set up in powerlifting and why many Voluntaryist end up being attracted to the sport. What makes it unique is that, because it is not an Olympic event, it isn't governed by the State. Federations are independent judging associations that have certain rules and participants get to choose which federation they want to join depending on the rules they respect.
