So the UPSB Team Tournament finals are here. The final will be WXYC vs Advanced Direction. Themes this round: Battle 1: Technical - Worth 1 point Battle 2: Doubles video with theme creativity - Worth 2 points Battle 3: Solo - Worth 2 points. Battle 4: No theme - Worth 1 point. Battle 5: Consistency Trick List - Worth 1 point. Line-ups are due 15th March at 11:59pm GMT and the videos are due 30th March at 11:59pm GMT. Further theme info Battle 1: Theme here is technical. The most technically difficult combo will be the winner. The winning combo should be well executed and contain difficult tricks. No other restrictions. Battle 2: Doubles video with theme creativity - The video must feature two pen spinners and each spinner must spin for at least 15 seconds of the video. The most creative doubles video will be judged the winner, with other aspects such as editing, technical difficulty and smoothness taking a smaller role. Battle 3: Solo - One member of your team makes a solo video. It must include at least 1 minute of pen spinning and can have as much running time beyond that as you like. Someone from your team (or multiple people from your team) must edit the video.. You cannot get anyone outside of the team to contribute to the video. The pen spinning must all be done by ONE pen spinner from your team, but the editing may be done by anyone. Battle 4: No theme, no restrictions. Battle 5: Consistency trick list - You must do all of the following tricks. Whoever does all the tricks with the least drops will win. The tricks must be filmed in this order and in one un-edited shot. You may stop the pen and adjust it between each trick. If both participants do the trick list with no drops, whoever does it in the fastest time will win. Please provide a slowdown version of the combo as well as one at original speed. Trick list

im curious about thumbspin 3.5 and thumbspin 3.0 HAHAHA -
Date: Sun, Mar 4 2012 09:51:26
the trick list is ridiculous ... basketball spin is impossible & I don't understand the two thumbspins in the same combo.. at least if there was a tumbspin 3.0 reverse it would be better ^^

I believe it's allowed to TS 3.0 on one hand and TS 3.5 on the other hand ;)

The trick list is ridiculous. Your are supposed to really really struggle at best and drop a few times more likely when doing the list. I put two thumbspins in there because they are a trick everyone in this competition can do, but that are very hard to do consistantly, making them perfect for a consistancy challenge. Battle 5 was actually inspired from a manipulation called kendama, in which they often have competitions of this format (doing lots of tricks with minimal drops) called 'kensistancy'. Edit: Oh and it's not a combo. You can reset the pen between every trick, just like it says in the first post. @RaM -

Okay, the lineups are: Technical: Xound vs Alvaris Trick list: Yanos vs Juminuwo Doubles: Wish and Chobi vs Xzelph and Miyat No theme: Ram vs Crinix Solo: Vortex vs Ivabra Good luck to both teams! Does anyone want to call any winners on these? I reckon there are some tough to call battles in there.

Technical: Xound vs Alvaris Trick list: Yanos vs Juminuwo
I kinda expected both of these. Pretty insane, looking forward to the result. Didn't expect Ivabra as the solo guy, since he recently made his "Reach For The Moon" solo lol Good luck, AD! -

Public voting for four of the battles. The one in which you have to get through the trick list in the least drops will have an obvious winner and will not need voting. -
