WORLD RECORDS

The following World Records were established outside the realm of regular competition. These Records have been specifically sanctioned by the USBA/WBA at the request of the individual attempting to set the record. As a sanctioned record attempt, all specifics related to the attempt are documented and kept on file to provide a standard in the event that another individual attempts to break the World record. Set-up, materials used and its dimensions, spacing material and dimensions, type of stations, and all other pertinent specifics must be adhered to in attempting to break a Sanctioned World Record.

In order to set or attempt to set or break a Sanctioned World Record the following must take place:

1. The attempter must provide a description of the proposed World Record

2. The USBA/WBA must approve of the record submitted

3. Appropriate sanction fees must be submitted before the day of the attempt

4. There must be at least one USBA/WBA official representative present at the time of the record attempt

World Record holders receive a certificate documenting his/her accomplishment and a one of a kind award (awards are either a World Record Crystal Award, World Record Cup, or World Record Belt). For more information on current Records or setting a new World Record please contact the USBA/WBA .
