World Dead Hang Championship LLC · Michigan limited liability company. These terms govern participation in WDHC digital and sanctioned events.
1. Parties
This Submission Agreement ("Agreement") is between World Dead Hang Championship LLC, a Michigan limited liability company ("WDHC," "we," "us," or "Company"), and you, the submitting athlete ("Athlete," "you"). By checking the submission agreement box on the WDHC submit form, you enter into this Agreement.
2. Authenticity Certification
You certify under penalty of disqualification and permanent ban that:
- Your submission describes a real dead hang attempt performed by you (or, if you are a guardian submitting for a minor, by the named minor athlete).
- The video at the URL you provide is a single continuous, unedited recording of that attempt.
- A timer or verifiable time reference is visible in the recording.
- All performance data you submit (name, date of birth, weight, height, hang time, location, training status) is truthful and accurate to the best of your knowledge.
- You have not used video editing, splicing, speed manipulation, or other means to misrepresent hang duration or form.
3. Unverified Submissions
Most leaderboard submissions begin as unverified. For unverified status:
- Any suitable pull-up bar or rig may be used (any size bar accepted for unverified); bar diameter proof is not required.
- WDHC reviewers may approve your time for leaderboard display without a verified checkmark.
- You must still meet the authenticity, timer, continuous-video, and grip standards in this Agreement and the Official Rulebook.
4. Verified Submissions
If you request or claim verified status (the verified checkmark on the leaderboard or championships), you additionally certify that your submission meets all unverified requirements plus the stricter verified proof standards in the Official Rulebook, including compliant bar specifications and any required diameter or setup proof shown in the same continuous video.
5. Equipment & Grip Standards
For all submissions you agree that:
- Grip is overhand (pronated), thumbs may wrap the bar.
- No straps, gloves, or grip aids are used; chalk and liquid chalk are encouraged (block or liquid chalk permitted).
- Feet do not touch the ground or receive assistance during the counted hang.
- Full body remains visible for the duration of the attempt as required by the Rulebook.
6. Incorporation of Rulebook & Policies
This Agreement incorporates by reference the WDHC Official Rulebook, the Competition Integrity Policy, and the Code of Conduct. WDHC may update these documents; material changes will be posted with a revised date. Continued submissions after notice constitute acceptance of updates.
7. Video Link; No Hosting
You submit a link to a video hosted on a third-party platform. WDHC does not upload, host, or store your video file. You represent you have the right to share the link with WDHC for verification and, if you opt in, for public leaderboard display.
8. Consequences of False Certification
Knowingly false certifications violate this Agreement and the Competition Integrity Policy. WDHC may reject your submission, remove leaderboard entries, revoke verified status, suspend or permanently ban you, and publicly remove records. WDHC may report suspected fraud to relevant platforms or authorities where appropriate.
9. Timing Tolerance
WDHC accepts a timing tolerance of ±3 seconds between your submitted time and the time verified from video. Discrepancies within this window may be corrected to the verified time without individual notice. Discrepancies exceeding 3 seconds will be recorded at the verified time with athlete notification.
10. Governing Law
This Agreement is governed by the laws of the State of Michigan, without regard to conflict-of-law principles.
11. Severability
If any provision is held unenforceable, the remaining provisions remain in full force.
