MEDIA RELEASE
and/or members at your club that may appear on camera during recordings, but also giving GBC
and FCGC permission to post video submissions to our social media channels during and after
the competition.
Any questions regarding these requirements can be sent to GBC’s Event Manager –
events@gymbc.org.
EQUIPMENT Each participating club will need the following:
- Video recording device (1080p, 30fps)
- Tripod for your device
- Reliable internet connection
- Club YouTube account (free to create an account)
- Whiteboard and markers, or paper and black sharpie
If a club is unsure of their equipment set-up meeting the event standards, they are encouraged
to contact GBC’s Technical Director (jcarroll@gymbc.org) prior to registering for the event.
VIDEO SUBMISSION Filming dates and video submission period: March 25th – April 1st, 2021
CRITERIA Videos may be recorded and submitted anytime between the beginning of the day March 25th
until 11:59 PM April 1st. Submissions received after April 1st will not be accepted.
General process for the competition:
One day prior to the video submission open date (March 24, 2021), an email will be circulated to
participating clubs with a symbol, phrase and/or word that must be written on your whiteboard
or paper, and must be included at the start of the video recording. This paper or whiteboard
should also include the first and last name of the participant (NOTE: use the same athlete name
that was used when registering for the event), the club name, and the athlete category level.
This will ensure the routine has taken place within the allotted video submission time frame.
Between March 25th and April 1st athlete routines are recorded, in your club, using video
recording devices and tripods. Please see “Camera Positioning” section below for details on
filming routines.
Should you have questions regarding any technical and/or spacing difficulties you may be
experiencing with recording in your facility (ex. limited equipment, incomplete floors), please
contact GBC’s Technical Director – jcarroll@gymbc.org. We may require your club to submit a
sample video for review prior to the competition to ensure we will be able to accept your club’s
video submission for this event.
WAG Vault Videos: For JO Optional and Aspire 2, it is recommended that coaches submit only
one video, showing the best of 2 vaults. Coaches can still submit 2 vaults if they are unsure which
vault is best, however, it is strongly recommended to submit the two vaults in a single video.
(Start the video as usual. After the athlete's first vault, continue recording while the gymnast
walks back to the start of the vault runway. Stop the recording after she completes her second
vault.). For Aspire 1, two vaults must be submitted because the vaults are averaged. Please
submit both vaults using one video with the process indicated above.
All Levels: If an athlete is scratching an apparatus, do not submit a video of the presentation and
touch.
Videos will be uploaded to your Club’s YouTube channel (as ‘unlisted’ videos) which will allow
judges and competition administration to view the routines without compromising the athlete’s
privacy.
NOTE: use the same athlete name that was used when registering for the event and the ID sign
at the start of videos.
Once uploaded, video links of the routines should be submitted via the K-score google form
(WAG and MAG). Only one form submission will be accepted per athlete. Please ensure all of the
video links for each participant are correctly filmed and website links documented on your form
as a second form and/or corrected video will not be accepted. Once the video submission period
ends, no further videos will be accepted for the competition. If a second video submission
appears for a participant, the first submission will be evaluated and the second submission will
be deleted.
Please note, with many YouTube pages there is a limit to the number of videos you are able to
upload in a 24-hour period. As such, you may experience problems trying to load all of the
videos for your athlete’s routines should you wait until the last day. We strongly encourage each
club to upload videos as they are completed to avoid hitting uploading caps on your club’s
account.
Should you hit your uploading capacity for a 24-hour period, you may have to wait until the
following day to continue forward. Alternatively, you may also try creating a second YouTube
account for your club, which will allow additional space to upload videos.
Another alternative is to purchase a paid account with Vimeo, DropBox or Google Drive to store
your uploaded video submissions.
Please make sure to confirm your club’s video uploading process prior to the video submission
period as once the video submission period ends, we will not accept any late submissions.
Increasing limits on your YouTube Channel:
We have connected with one of our GBC member clubs and they indicated that if a request is
made to YouTube that they may be able to increase daily upload limits on your account. See
process below:
1. Create the channel with a google account which has two factor authentication and full
security info.
2. Verify the channel with the gym phone number. This process allows you to have an
automated system phone the gym phone. Info on the verification process can be found
here: Verify your YouTube account - YouTube Help (google.com)
3. Submit a feedback request from the upload window. See picture attached.
4. Example messaging below:
“Hi there! We are a gymnastics club that is trying to use your platform to assist with
our virtual meet. For how the event is set up each routine needs to be a separate
video to help organization for judging purposes. Our videos are very short and would
never exceed 3 minutes and would have an average length of closer to 1 minute. We
would love to be able to upload more than the daily limit to make things easier.
Thanks!”
Please note, this process does take a few days, so make sure to request to increase limits early!
