VIDEO SUBMISSION LIFTERS

Due to the ongoing pandemic and uncertainty of being able to compete in person, we will be offering competitors to compete via video submissions. All live lifts will be done on Saturday  October 7th, and we will be accepting video submissions beginning Saturday October 7th  until  10:00 AM central time Saturday October 14th (BEFORE the in person competition begins). This will give judges a chance to judge the sets prior to the live lifts so we know the winners once the live results are entered.

​

For video submissions, we have a private Facebook group which we will invite you to join. Once you have completed your lift we ask that you upload your video to YouTube and then post your video in this group and we will tag your assigned judge. Once judged, they will post your official result as a comment and tag you. If you do not have Facebook, just let me know and you can send your video link via email.
