Rules for "Record Breaker" contests

Kicking around having a Record Breaker type event in the spring - anyone help me out finding a rule set for this format?  Thanks!

For GSI @Jedd Johnson or @Eric Roussin can chime in but my understanding was that
- it's a GSI listed implement (in this event list) 
- lifts are done to 6" knockbar (with some exceptions) 
- there is notice and GSI sanctioning fee is paid
- either 4 lift format (like old KK) or rising bar (new KK)
- weighed on a calibrated scale or using calibrated weights
- 2 hour contestant weigh-in window

It's a big job but I'd love to see a list of every GSI tracked implement, which manufacturers are approved or what specs need to be met 
(Axle bar for example) and a rules list for the lift (how it can/can't be held).
Also an official standard on how an implement can be added/removed.

Of course there are non-GSI records you can go for too (IronMind, Horne, Joka, Nemesis etc.) which have different requirements.

What I have done for record breakers is choose at least five events I plan to judge. I suppose you could add as many as you want to manage. I build the list of events by adding a few I want and I will contact the likely participants and add their favored event. The participants then have the option to attempt the event or not. I have used both the traditional four attempt format, lately only for World of Grip comps, or last man standing format.

I let Jedd and Eric know my intent, forward an announcement to them and I am done.
