How certification actually works.
Certification is independent from advertising, sponsorship, and featured placement. Every certified number is traceable to a combine, evaluator, and calibrated equipment.
Athletes can estimate or enter historical measurables and KPIs. These remain Athlete Inputted until verified.
Our team confirms identity, school, and eligibility.
Results captured at a SWSH-certified combine with audited equipment by SWSH Certified Staff.
Multiple certified results plus independent evaluator sign-off.
A randomly assigned SWSH evaluator retests key KPIs on-site.
All certification statuses
Every KPI has a documented protocol — equipment, warmup, number of attempts, tolerances, and how ties are broken. Combines that deviate cannot certify results.
Certified combines run calibrated Vertec, force plates, and electronic timing gates. Equipment is spot-checked and re-certified annually.
Independent evaluators are randomly assigned to eligible tests to reduce favoritism. Conflicts of interest are declared and disqualified.
Sponsored and promoted placements are visually distinct. They cannot alter certification status or leaderboard position.
Certified results have an expiration window (12–24 months depending on KPI). Athletes retest to keep certified status.
Athlete profiles under 18 require parent or guardian consent. Personal contact information is never publicly displayed.
