1.) Good video – the athlete achieves the prescribed movement standards during each repetition during the workout and the score entered is correct. The score will be accepted.
2.) Reporting with a small penalty – the Athlete shows 1 to 4 “no reps” over the entire video of the workout. The no reps will be deducted from the score.
3.) Valid with a big penalty – the Athlete shows 5 to 8 “no reps” over the entire video. In this case, 15% of the final score will be deducted.
4.) Invalid – the Athlete cannot follow the prescribed workout according to the movement standards, a significant and unacceptable number of “no reps” repetitions or the video does not comply with the film regulations. The team’s score in this case will be rejected.
