Money ! Bragging rights. Useful feedback to help their traditional competition careers. Top 5 in each class will also receive a CCN Digital Banner/Trophy.
Good lighting and clear video are undoubtedly variables to manage. However, there are also major variables to manage for traditional shows as well. Venue lighting (which a competitor has no control over) and the tanning choice and application are major variables. So with CyberClash variables will remain, but they are just different. The good news is that nearly everyone has a phone with high definition video capability. So video quality should not be a major issue. Furthermore, the video submission process will not downgrade video quality to shrink file size. In addition, the athlete has the freedom to explore anywhere she/he chooses to provide the best possible lighting for video submission. So while variables still exist, the competitor has more control and input in addressing and managing them.
Is a competition tan necessary for CyberClash? Probably not. It depends on your natural skin tone. Unlike traditional shows with intense lighting, CyberClash is different. Darker skin tones may only need a light sheen, while lighter-skinned competitors might use a self-tanner or base coat. In fact, a full competition tan is unlikely to be needed for CyberClash, as it might be too dark and costly. Here, a subtle sheen should suffice, and remember, our unique scoring system can still make you a winner in the presentation round, even if your tan is not used. The key is being able to see muscular definition.
Yes. The rules dictate that you can. Be sure to see the rules section.
The judging panel will consist of three or four judges. Permanent judging positions are reserved for Ryan Sullivan and Shauna Koehler-Sullivan as they are the creators of the criteria and scoring system. The remaining judging positions will be reserved for other trusted members in the industry; whether they be competitors, coaches, or promoters. In the end, all judges will have to pass a CCN vetting process.
The prize money all depends on the number of entries and the number of class splits per category. See Rules section for more on prize money.
We will do our best to have all the results posted within 10 days of the final video submission date.
To start off Cyberclash will not have Pro and Amateur classes. This is subject to change in the future though.
