Any athlete who alters/modifies the equipment or movements described in this document or shown in the video standards may be disqualified from the competition if deemed by the head judges to give an unfair advantage.

All video submissions should be uncut and unedited in order to accurately display the performance. Videos shot with a fish-eye lens or similar lens may be rejected due to the visual distortion these lenses cause.  Sound should be on during the filming. Be sure the athlete has adequate space to safely complete the movement and clear the area of all extra equipment, people, or other obstructions so that the video is clear.

The video should be shot from a 45 degree angle of the athlete with the camera positioned at a height that is level with the athlete's shoulders. Critical items that need to be clearly visible on the video:

1. Walk around of the rower showing it has not been modified or anchored down
2. Scale Verification and weighing of the athlete - wearing all equipment they will use to complete the challenge
3. The process of setting the distances on the rower
4. Full body of athlete and all equipment at all times during the entire attempt
5. Clearly show workout data from the monitor memory of the rower used at the completion of the challenge

   * The weight of the kettlebell or dumbbell must be shown/visible to the camera
   * The correct scale reading while the object is on the scale must be shown/visible to the camera
4. The athlete needs to measure their body weight on the digital scale, clearly showing the scale reading to the camera. Please then verbally state your bodyweight.
