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.
@Cathy Once again, we apologize for the misunderstanding about ties. In terms of adding periods, that was never a requirement for the category. We hear your frustration, and would like to send you a book and t-shirt as a small token of apology.
I would have worked harder to submit a few extra words had I known this "new" rule about ties. My sentences did include periods which is tehcnically more than Neil's included AND it's the way the Stride Team showed it in their original video.
so what are you guys doing for the winner of this one? It says on the rule page and stuff that in the event of a tie, it will be split between the winners? There are like 5 people that got 6 times. lol
@Tim - good question. Neil submitted his attempt before we added the criteria "- must show blank paper on video before attempt begins". We've reviewed this record many times now and the footage provided shows clear evidence of six phrases.
@Kobi In your video, your hand clearly moves from left to right five times. The handwriting of your first phrase is significantly different, too. In short, it's clear in our eyes that you wrote one of the six phrases before the clock began.
First off, it's extremely disappointing to discover what appears to be a blatant cheat. You're welcome to defend yourself, but assuming we're correct, you need to understand that this type of behavior isn't welcome in our community. It's weak and juvenile. If we discover future cheats, we will look to suspend or ban you from the site.
Second, to deter anyone else from trying such an approach, we've added "- must show blank paper before attempt begins" to the rules. Future submissions must include that.
@Neil, Alyjha - RecordSetter is not administering the prize money - just the records. I have a feeling Stride will reach out to the winners after the winners are announced. I will confirm and let you know once I have more info.

@rob...how are ties working? cuz in the rules it says ties will be split...just was wondering
Rob Birdsong
@Will, as long as you show a blank page before the feat, it is acceptable to use more than one phrase per line.
Will Pilcher
Can you do more than one phrase per line or does it have to be one line per phrase?

Alyjha Williams
oh yeah i didnt think about the tax free part of it i hope so
Neil Moallem
I would also like to know how long it will take for us to receive our winnings once the winners have been announced. Also, will the money be tax-free?
Alyjha Williams
how long do you think it will take before we get or winning money?
Cathy Vail
Wow....this is a lot harder than it looks.
Vernon Frenzel
