On Site Record Certification

If you would like to request an adjudicator to your event, you should first login and submit a record application.

What is adjudication?
It is possible to hire an adjudicator to verify your record live and on-the-spot. If you know what record you want to break and you have done it before you might want to go for our Basic Adjudication Service where a trained GWR Adjudicator will show up on the day and verify your record on the spot. If you are a company, you don’t know exactly what record you want to break and need clarification on guidelines our Corporate Adjudication Service can offer you just that.

 

What are the advantages of inviting an official GWR adjudicator to a record attempt?
The record will be instantly verified and officially announced on site. What’s more, the presence of an official GWR adjudicator will also lend authenticity to the record attempt and raise its profile. Best of all, this service provides you with valuable PR opportunities, since the adjudicator can hand successful record-breakers a certificate live and in person if their record-breaking attempt is successful!

 

What is the difference between the Basic Adjudication Service and the Corporate Adjudication Service?

• If you know what record you are going to attempt, the record does exist and you have done it before you will most probably only need the basic service.
• If you are a company or need advice in finding the right record for you, support in the preparatory phase and want to create an all-round GWR Experience during your event you will be more interested in our Corporate Adjudication Service.

Does inviting an adjudicator come with a cost?
Yes, the adjudication fee depends on the package you go for, location, but it also depends on the number of records, adjudicators and days involved. Travel and accommodation costs will also have to be covered by the organizers of the event.

 

If an adjudicator is present on site, do we still have to submit all evidence listed and detailed in the Record Breakers’ Pack?
In general, no - but there are exceptions when the presence of an adjudicator is not enough to verify the attempt. For marathon records, for example, we will still require a logbook, which will be checked by our adjudicator upon arrival – as our adjudicator will not be able to be present throughout the duration of the attempt.
