VIDEO SUBMISSION AND UPLOAD DETAILS

This needs to be done for anyone who thinks they may end up in first place in the ONLINE COMPETITION. Only those who submit a video for validation will receive a prize for finishing in 1st.

Film the workout from start to finish including an Introduction which should state:

a) your full name,

b) the name of the event (Climb the Mountain) and

c) which Box or facility you are testing out of. Video submissions do not require a judge BUT all online submission not filming will require a judge.

Prior to starting, film all the equipment to be used including the weights, height etc. so that they can be seen clearly. All video submissions should be uncut and unedited. This is to ensure that the entire performance is accurately displayed. A running clock or timer must be in the frame at all times and it must be clearly visible throughout the entire workout. Shoot the video from an angle so all exercises can be clearly seen meeting the described movement standards. If you use a fish-eye or similar lens that leads to visual distortion, the video may be rejected.
When submitting your score, you will need to upload your youtube video link of your entire video, if you will be in the running for 1st place in the RX’ED division.
