About World Title Holders

World Title Holders is a guide for people who want to understand world records, or set one.

What we cover

The machinery behind records: how categories are defined, what evidence looks like, how verification usually works and how to plan an attempt that survives scrutiny. We cover common types of records in general terms rather than chasing individual feats.

What we do not do

• We are not a record-keeping body and cannot certify anything.
• We do not publish or invent record figures.
• We do not encourage dangerous attempts.

Who it is for

Schools and clubs planning a group attempt, charity organizers looking for a memorable event, individuals with a skill to prove, and curious readers who wonder how anyone checks these things.

Start with planning a record attempt or the FAQ.
