CONTEST
RULES
1. All contestants for both Battle of the Hands™ and Battle
of the Feet™ competitions will be scored on playing single
strokes (no bounces, presses or buzz)
for 60 SECONDS and recorded by the Drumometer™.
2. No multi or compound grip technique such as: Moeller, Push-Pull or combinations are allowed in World Finals Competition for World Records or grand prizes. WFD allows one stroke per one full movement of each hand, the right hand goes down, "tap", and then back up. Concentrate on the back of the hand rather than the tip of the stick.
Furthermore, if the back of the hand goes down and two taps are made by the opening and closing of the fingers before the back of the hand goes up, then it's a 2 note stroke. Same would apply for the 3 note stroke and 4 note stroke. These are singles but they're multi-stroke singles which in the future may have its own category.
3. Contestants may run as many times as they like during the Preliminary
Heats.
4. Contestants' top Preliminary score will be used toward Finals
qualifying.
5. Preliminary scores will NOT be used to determine Grand Prize
winners!
6. FINALS scores will be the ONLY scores
used to determine GRAND PRIZE winners.
7. NOTE that WFD Champions AND previous GRAND PRIZE winners are
ineligible for prizes.
8.
It is the contestant's responsibility to verify if he/she qualified
for the Finals and to be signed in.
9. Due to filming and various time restraints,
there will be NO equipment changes.
10. WFD only recognizes
scores from Official WFD sanctioned events.
11. World Record scores MUST
be witnessed and certified by proper WFD officials.
12. Judges decisions are
FINAL!
