?⚖️ Judging process:
A quick reminder that we have 4 categories to ensure fair competition: 1) Men’s transformation, 2) women’s transformation, 3) men’s weight loss, and 4) women’s weight loss.
Transformation is judged by our independent panel of judges via an audited voting process. The Transformation category is determined by who the judges believed had to do the most work to get from ‘Before’ to ‘After.’
Weight loss is judged purely by percentage of weight lost, based on before and after measurements submitted and confirmed by before and after photos (which include a photo of their measurement on the scale).
Note: This is the 2nd time that we have now used
Sleekgeek and its staff are not involved in the final decision-making and we accept the judges decisions as final.
