We think only a record holder can know what you go through to set a record, so we only let people that
have already set world records downvote other people's records.
What can I do?
Go set a record! If you can think of it, you can set a new world record for it.
Following extended dialogue with the team at Stride today, we need to provide clarity about what a "tie" is. We were incorrect in believing that any category in which two or more people submit the same approved value is counted as a "tie." A "tie" only happens when two or more people submit EXACTLY THE SAME VALUE at EXACTLY THE SAME TIME.
For this category and all others in which there are ties, the FIRST entrant to submit an approved value will be recognized as the winner. Later attempts which match that value will be recognized as DENIED attempts. This stays in line with our existing RecordSetter policy, in which you need to BEAT an existing record in order to gain world record recognition.
We are incredibly sorry for the confusion on this issue. It's an unfortunate situation, and one we feel badly about. As a token of our apology, we will send a RecordSetter t-shirt and a copy of The RecordSetter Book of World Records to all of those affected directly by this issue.
Does the three second hold come out of the 15 seconds you have to make the pyramid? If you manage to fully construct the pyramid in exactly 15 seconds and then hold it for three seconds, is it denied?
This was taken right after belt testing at my Taekwondo school in Northbrook. It has students (all adult) as well as instructors (basically the whole middle row as well as myself and the guy on the bottom right of the pyramid. Lastly, there's my friend Ray who has absolutely nothing to do with martial arts, he was just there. He's the guy not in uniform :)

Emily Miethner
Is this at a frat party or something? Super impressive!
Christophe Flodstrom
Already have. We uploaded our video ages ago, and that's why we noticed it was gone...

@Christophe - Record #27 is back up! Longest distance to throw a briefcase. Current record is 25 feet. Think you can beat it?
Schuyler Van Horn
Cobra-Kai?
Christophe Flodstrom
Oh, whatever happened to record #27? It's MIA...
Christophe Flodstrom
Willy-nilly! Thanks Dan.

You have 15 seconds to assemble the pyramid. It's OK if the three seconds of remaining upright takes place immediately after that.

@Cody Foiled!

dan, i had considered this if necessary. haha!

Great work, guys. NOTE: To avoid pyramid sprawl (ie. bottom row has 20 people, top row has 19 people), we've tweaked criteria as follows:
Each row must have one less person than the row above it.
Top row may not have more than three people.
This means that a 4,3,2,1 or a 4,3,2 or a 5,4,3 or a 5,4,3,2 or a 5,4,3,2,1 pyramid are all capable of beating the existing mark.
