VIDEO SUBMISSION LIFTERS

 

To keep the competition as accessible as possible, we will be offering competitors to compete via video submissions. All live lifts will be done on  September 28th, and we will be accepting video submissions beginning Saturday October 7th  until  23:59 central time Friday September 27th (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 will utilize YouTube and 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.
