Under 11s and under 13s are also marked for technique. Under 11s are NOT required to increase weight between attempts, though they may. Under 13s must increase the weight following a successful attempt, by a minimum of 1 kg.

For both under 11 and under 13s ALL attempts are counted and added to the points total. The maximum technique points for a Snatch is 8. For the Clean it is 8 and for the Jerk it is 8. Over all the max technique points are 72 which ensures that, in most cases, technical merit outweighs the total weight lifted.

The points are decided as follows.
Snatch
Get Set position: 0 or 1 point; Pull to knee height: 0 or 1 point; Full extension; 0or 1; Squat under: 0 or 1 point
The points are then doubled

Clean
Get set: 0 or 1; Pull to knees: 0 or 1; Full extension: 0 or 1; Drop and receive: 0 or 1.
The points are then doubled

Jerk:
 Start position: 0 or 1; Dip and Drive: 0 or 1; Receive in split: 0 or 1; Recovery: 0 or 1
The points are then doubled

Power Clean gets only 1 point, ditto Power Snatch.
Clean and Jerk are assessed individually. An incomplete lift eg a Clean Pull to knee height scores 0.
Power Jerk scores only 1
Any lift failed by the referee scores 0
