THE TRIBUNAL
…Usually behind closed doors.
We throw 'em open.
The race ends. The Tribunal begins.
48 to 72 hours after the finish, the Tribunal convenes.
The panel rules on Zoom.
The audience watches and votes everywhere else.
Swimmers attend. Coaches attend.
Footage is reviewed — drones overhead, 14 × 360° cameras underwater, land cameras at every angle.
Every angle. Every walkback. Every reaction.
Penalties are applied. Times are aggregated.
Winners are declared on-camera.
The audience is in the room.
Live on Zoom. Watching the verdict.
Voting on the close calls.
Every CageRace IS a show.
Not just the TV show. Every race is theatre.
The audience is in the story.
A sponsor can UP the prizemoney mid-race —
on a single round. On the night.
Fluid stakes. Live narrative.
A TV format built for multiple screens.
Impossible a few years ago.
The Tribunal isn't post-production.
It IS the production.
