2026 Winter Freeze - Qualification Leaderboard Rules
RULES for the 2026 WINTER FREEZE qualifying leaderboard (Updated DEC 4, 2025):
1. Practice as much as you want before recording.
2. Record the entire session (all 3 models) in 1 continuous run, without stopping the recording.
You must begin the first model AFTER pressing the START button on the clock.
CLOCK - The clock found HERE must be visible in your recorded video.
CLOCK - You must use the clock found HERE to submit your times to the 2026 WINTER FREEZE qualifying leaderboard.
CLOCK - You must click the button labeled "CLICK HERE WHEN FINISHED MODEL" after you finish each model.
OPTIONAL - Edit in post processing to add overlays/music/etc...
OPTIONAL - Include voice narration, include video camera footage of your face or hands.
3. For each model, you must create a NEW PART or a NEW DOCUMENT.
You MAY begin with a new "empty" document, but the document must be "blank" or "empty". No pre-created SOLID geometry, nor SURFACE geometry, nor SKETCHES may exist in the tree. You are expected to start each part anew.
4. No pre-created geometric data is allowed.
No Drag and Drop library features allowed.
No macros allowed for feature creation.
(If you have questions about a macro, ask by using the Contact Toby link in the NavBar on tootalltoby.com and Toby will answer).
You must create all the geometry for these models.
5. Hole Wizard (or equivalent tool) is allowed.
6. No IVAN EXPLOITS (see video COMING SOON).
NOTE: although the “IVAN EXPLOIT” is permitted in the tournament, it is not permitted here in the qualifying speedruns. Each model must be geometrically correct, based on the 2D drawing.
7. You must CLEARLY show the correct mass of each model, before moving on to the next model.
The mass must be shown in the CORRECT UNITS (meaning: Do not show KG if the model is asking for LBS). The mass must be shown with the CORRECT PRECISION (or with a MORE PRECISE number of significant digits).
If you do not show the correct mass on screen (CLEARLY and readable), your submission will be considered disqualified and will be deleted from the leaderboard.
If you calculate a mass which DOES NOT MATCH the target mass for the model, your
submission will be considered disqualified and will be deleted from the leaderboard.
8. Post your recording on Youtube. Then enter a link to the video in your Too Tall Toby Platform Profile on the Leaderboards Tab, and Submit it for Verification.
9. Watch the Leaderboard. When your video is Verified, a link will be added to your video on the Leaderboard.
10. This tournament leaderboard closes on Wednesday Dec 31st, 2025.
11. By submitting your video to this Leaderboard you grant Too Tall Toby and team the right to use the video footage of your submission for any marketing/promotional purposes without limitation.
12. You may submit more than one result.
Your fastest time will be considered your official submission. All slower times will be deleted from the Leaderboard. Submitting using different CAD systems would be subject to this rule, and only one VERIFIED VIDEO (the fastest time) will be eligible for entry to the Tournament.
13. We will be seeding this tournament with 8 entrants on this leaderboard.
The 8 runners with the fastest times will be contacted within 48 hours of the close of the qualification leaderboard. If any these runners are unable to participate in the tournament (or fail to respond to our request), we will reach out to the next fastest runners on the leaderboard to ask for their participation (AKA – tournament alternates).
14. Any leaderboard submissions that do not qualify (due to failure to follow the above rules) will be deleted from the tournament leaderboard.
15. Rule 15: Final Authority and Discretion
In the event of errors, discrepancies, or unforeseen circumstances requiring administrative intervention, the TooTallToby leadership team retains absolute discretion to determine the appropriate resolution. This may include exceptions to established rules to ensure the integrity of the competition. While the team commits to communicating the rationale behind such decisions to the community, all rulings are final. Participation in this challenge constitutes an agreement to abide by these determinations and a waiver of any right to appeal or contest the outcome.
