Rules and levels

Rules

1. Cards are free and made at the athlete's request: message @calisthenics.al on Instagram.
2. Every number, for every exercise, needs one uncut video showing the exercise in full, correct form. No video, no number.
3. Normal speed, your whole body in frame, filmed from the side or at an angle so the form can be seen.
4. You can film personal bests anywhere: at a park, in a gym or at home, as long as you follow the rules.
5. Film only where filming is allowed, and don't show other people without their permission.
6. The video opens with your Instagram handle, the place and the date, said out loud or written on a sheet of paper held up to the camera.
7. Full form: pull-ups from a straight-arm hang until the chin is over the bar, without kipping; dips until the shoulders are below the elbows; muscle-ups without kipping; holds count only in the full position.
8. Every video is checked before it goes up. A number without full form is turned down.
9. calisthenics.al makes the final call on every video. The founder's videos are public and uncut, so anyone can check them.
10. If several people ask for the same card number, it goes to the first to send a valid video. The others get the next numbers. Numbers are never reused.
11. You must be 16 or older.
12. Your card and videos are published with your consent: we upload the video to YouTube and link it to your card. You can ask for them to be removed at any time at info@calisthenics.al. Privacy →

Crowns

Crowns are separate from cards. Your card shows your personal bests, wherever you filmed them. A park's crown counts only videos filmed at that park.

• A park's crown belongs to the best number filmed at that park. For now, crowns are for pull-ups only.
• Men and women have separate crowns.
• On a tie, whoever filmed it first keeps the crown.
• You don't need to beat the record: every valid video goes on the park's list.
• You don't need a card to get on a park's list or take its crown. Tell us how you want to appear: your Instagram handle, initials or full name.
• If a crown holder asks for their record to be removed, the crown passes to the next on the list.

Levels

Each exercise has its own table. Your level comes from your best filmed number, under the same rules. A level once earned is kept for good. The thresholds don't change during the year.
