Good evening athletes,
In order to keep the online event as fair as possible, as you know, you will be recording and submitting your workouts via the WODPROOF app.
EVERY VIDEO will be watched to ensure that the workout is completed as described, the stated score is correct, reps are complete with good standards etc. There will be penalties given to any athlete that does not meet the high standards required for this event.
There are 4 levels of score that your workout video can achieve:
1. GOOD VIDEO. In this case, you have completed the workout as prescribed, all reps are completed to the required standard, the video is clear and the athlete and equipment is in view at all times. No penalty will be rewarded here.
2. MINOR PENALTY. In this case the workout video is clear, but the athlete has displayed a small number of no reps, for example, 3 burpees total throughout the whole video weren't valid as chest didn't touch the floor. In this case a time penalty will be awarded for workouts completed for time, or reps deducted if a cap is met or the workout is an AMRAP. This will be done on a case by case basis and the judges decision is final.
3. MAJOR PENALTY. In this case the workout video is clear, but the athlete accumulates a significant amount of no reps throughout the workout. For example, in a triplet workout that includes thrusters, the athlete misses squat depth on the majority of their thrusters. A MINIMUM major penalty of 15% of reps will be deducted from the total rep count. If this is a for time workout, the total time will be adjusted as a penalty. The amount of time added, or reps reduced will be on a case by case basis and the judges decision is final.
4. INVALID VIDEO. In this case the athlete has either; clearly not performed the workout as prescribed, tried to perform a non standard movement, a significant or unacceptable amount of reps are ''no reps'', the video is not clear and/or the athlete and equipment is not shown, or the video does not show what is required (like showing your wallball weight before the workout begins, for example). In this case your video will be disallowed and your score for that workout will be 0.
Please take your time to ensure that your videos are set up correctly on every workout, you and your equipment are in view at all times, the video is one continued recording and that you go above and beyond the ensure that movement standards for each workout are achieved. We hope to not have to award many penalties, but we will do so if needed to ensure a fair playing field.
Thank you for taking the time to read this, bring on the workouts!
