Partner content guidelines

Everything you need to know before you submit: what we take, what we decline, the quality bar, how long things should be, who owns what, and how money works. Read it once and your submission will sail through review.

Last updated 4 September 2026 · Version 1.0

Section 1

What we accept

One test: does it revolve around Chase Tag®? If a fan of the sport would learn something, feel something or want to train after watching, it belongs here.

  • Matches, tournaments, friendlies and qualifiers, sanctioned or not, as long as it is Chase Tag®.
  • Training: drills, sessions, technique breakdowns, warm-ups, programmes.
  • Gyms and venues: tours, open sessions, community nights, kids' and academy classes.
  • Athletes and teams: vlogs, diaries, road-to-Worlds series, interviews, tactical breakdowns of your own matches.
  • Stories and documentaries about people, places and moments in the sport.
  • Education: rules, scoring, timing, refereeing, coaching, event organisation.
  • Sponsor and brand films with real Chase Tag® substance: making-of, athlete stories, product in action on the Quad.

Section 2

What we decline

  • Content that is not about Chase Tag®, or where the sport is a thin excuse for something else.
  • Footage you do not own or have not cleared: other people's video, broadcast feeds, music without a licence, athletes who did not agree to appear.
  • Re-uploads or re-edits of World Chase Tag® broadcast footage without a written agreement with us.
  • Anything that encourages trespassing, unsafe stunts or dangerous behaviour by others, or shows minors without a guardian's consent.
  • Hate, harassment, discrimination or attacks on athletes, teams, referees or fans.
  • Pure advertising with no Chase Tag® substance, undisclosed paid placements, or gambling and betting promotion.
  • Fabricated, staged-as-real or AI-generated footage presented as genuine competition.
  • Vertical, watermarked or platform-branded rips (TikTok, Reels, Shorts exports). Send the original.

Borderline? Submit it anyway and say so in the description. We would rather talk than have you guess.

Section 3

Quality and format

Aspect ratio16:9 landscape. Vertical or square is declined.
Resolution1080p minimum. 4K welcome and preferred for documentaries and full events.
Frame rate25, 30, 50 or 60 fps, constant. Match your source, do not upscale or re-time.
Codec and fileMP4 (H.264 or H.265), 8 to 20 Mbps for 1080p, 35 to 60 Mbps for 4K. Or a YouTube, Vimeo, Drive or Dropbox link.
AudioStereo AAC, clean and levelled (about -16 LUFS). No clipping, no wind roar over commentary.
CaptionsOptional but valued: an SRT file in English. Non-English content needs English subtitles.
Thumbnail1280x720 or larger, landscape, an action frame with faces fully in frame (tight headshots get cropped on cards).
WatermarksNo burned-in logos of other platforms. A small partner logo bug is fine.

We do not re-edit your film. We may trim dead air at the head and tail, add the WCT+ ident, and generate the streaming renditions. Colour, sound and cut are yours.

Section 4

Duration

Clips and highlights1 to 4 minutes
Features, tours, breakdowns8 to 25 minutes (the sweet spot for watch time)
Series episodes10 to 20 minutes, consistent length across the season
Documentaries25 to 90 minutes
Full events and matchesUp to 3 hours; we may split by match or session
Under 60 secondsBelongs on social. We will happily share it there instead.

There is no hard maximum. Long content performs when it is structured: chapters, a clear cold open, and a reason to keep watching at the 30-second mark.

Section 5

Titles, thumbnails and metadata

  • Title formula: who, what, stakes. Fakaw Paris: Road to Worlds, Episode 1 beats EP1 (must watch!!!). Sentence case, no clickbait that the video does not pay off.
  • Description: one or two sentences that tell a stranger why to press play. Name the athletes, teams and event.
  • Write Chase Tag® and World Chase Tag® with the ® on first mention in titles and descriptions. It is a registered trademark.
  • Thumbnail: a real frame from the film, landscape, faces fully visible, no text needed (the card adds your title). We will crop it to 16:9 on cards.
  • Language: English, or English subtitles. Spoken French, Spanish, Chinese and Japanese are welcome with subtitles.

Section 6

Brand and trademarks

  • Say "now on WCT+", "WCT+ Partner" and link to your partner page.
  • Use your own team, gym or brand identity freely in your content.
  • Use the World Chase Tag® logo or the WCT+ mark as if it were yours, or in a way that implies we made or endorsed the film.
  • Call yourself an official partner unless your partner page shows the Official badge.
  • Rebrand, re-edit or re-voice World Chase Tag® broadcast footage.

Section 7

Rights and licence

  1. You keep ownership. Submitting does not transfer copyright. You can publish the same film on your own channels.
  2. You grant WCT+ a licence. Non-exclusive, worldwide, for as long as the title is on the platform: to host, encode, stream, subtitle, and promote it (clips, stills, thumbnails, social posts, the 24/7 channel for free titles).
  3. You warrant you have the rights. Footage, music, graphics, and appearance permission from every identifiable person, with guardian consent for anyone under 18. You cover any claim that says otherwise.
  4. Withdrawal. Email us and we take a title down within 30 days, sooner for rights or safety issues. Titles filmed under a WCT accreditation follow the terms of that accreditation.
  5. Removal. We can unpublish anything that turns out to breach these guidelines, the law, or a third party's rights, and we honour valid takedown notices.

Section 8

Free, members-only and revenue share

Free

Anyone can watch, no login. Best for reach. You get attribution on every card, a partner page, a link back, and a place in the free 24/7 channel rotation.

Members-only

Behind the WCT+ paywall. Revenue-shared on watch time, under a short partner agreement with monthly reporting. Best for series, documentaries and premium training.

  • You choose per title, and you can change your mind after launch.
  • Sponsors inside your film must be disclosed in the description. Some categories are exclusive to official WCT partners; we will tell you before publishing if one applies.
  • No fee to submit or to be hosted.

Section 9

Review and publishing

  1. You submit a link and a description through the form.
  2. We reply within 7 days: accepted, accepted with changes, or declined with a reason.
  3. You send the final file and thumbnail (or we pull from your link).
  4. We schedule a premiere date, add it to your partner page and the relevant rows, and tell you when it goes live.
  5. Views and watch time are available on request; members-only titles get monthly reporting.

Questions before you submit: partners@worldchasetag.com.

Section 10

Conduct and safety

The World Chase Tag® Code of Conduct applies to partner content as it does to athletes and events: respect for opponents, referees and fans, no discrimination, and no glorifying injury. Show the sport being done well, with warm-ups, spotting and appropriate surfaces where it matters. If a film shows an accident, it needs context, consent, and a reason to exist.

Section 11

Terms

These guidelines form part of the WCT+ Terms of Service and Privacy Policy. Members-only titles are also covered by a separate partner agreement. We update these guidelines from time to time; the date at the top is the version that applies. Nothing here creates an employment or agency relationship.
