In the French FAQ, it says you have to register *before* attempting to break a record, and that they can't validate a record if it is not the case. Sylvain

There are lots of records like: Largest pumpkin/person. Those records you can't say on forehand that you're gonne break them, I believe if you can proof afterwards it's fine as well.
