Sanctioning the federation era since 2026 while administering a recognized competitive lineage that begins in 2019 and a pre-lineage archive nobody has successfully made less complicated.
When the IBGF replaced the World Climaxthletics Council in 2026, its founding charter explicitly recognized prior sanctioned Battlegasm seasons, Golden Grin champions and verified records dating to 2019. The federation is new. The sport's recognized lineage is not. The clause recognizes results; it does not retroactively endorse every promoter, venue, medical form or outside organization named in the early files.
Recognized championship lineage begins.
Transitional standards body unifies rules and technology.
Permanent international sanctioning federation ratified in Lausanne.
“We inherited the results. We did not inherit every explanation.”
— Lausanne Records Conference, 2026
