EWR is currently receiving more than 10,000 record claims per year. It is highly tough to accept these many claims that were sent to us. Some of the received claim suggestions are highly dangerous to accept by EWR. We always take a back step from the claims that are having chances for the risk over participants, spectators and members. We always keep ourselves away from the claims that are not reasonable for the challenge or too much centric towards any particular individual and impossible to break the record. Also, we are not encouraging any national or parochial or country specific records keeping in mind the space constraints and restricted resources availability. We are recognizing or publishing such claims. This is the main reason to call us Elite World Records and not the Elite Book of Records.It is not the idea of EWR to underestimate these capacities or capabilities, but it is just an effort to keep all the records are possible to break once again with a solid proof and skills.
