    Spoiler [SPOILER=It was getting way too big, the rest of the stuff.] [B]This is for team registration, NOT spinner registration.[/B] The Team Tournament is an international team pen spinning tournament, very similar to the World Cup except you do not have to represent a community(although you can) nor do you have to be a world-class spinner. The goal of the tournament is to determine the team who excels the most in all aspects of pen spinning. The tournament will begin in July and finish in August or September. The length of the tournament will depend on the number of teams registered. The format and rules will be similar to WC2012. ----------- [SPOILER=The rest of the stuff, it was getting way too big.] [B]How to register[/B] [B] Requirements: [/B] - Be able to assemble a team of 5 or more spinners - Have a manager who is good at English (can be part of team) - Be able to provide the organizers with videos of every single spinner in the team involved. -Teams will be divided in two sections if a large number of teams decide to partake. [B]Send your registration to me, TheAafg via PM with:[/B] - List of spinners in your team with example video links - Contact information for manager You do not have to form your team during registration. Final lineup is only submitted right before tournament begins. The judges have already been chosen, whose names will not be revealed to avoid finger-pointing, so unlike WC2012, you do not have to provide judges.

The overall presentation and the execution of each individual spinner was indeed very appealing; also, examining the video holistically only increases the enjoyment factor. Both spinners displayed decent korean linkages as well as some new school linkages. The overall execution of the clips was superb when considering the stable control but spinners retained throughout the video. All in all, this is a another great video submission by Spinny [PSH]. Yamaguchi Execution: 9 Difficulty: 6 Creativity: 6 Appeal: 9 Total: 30 Excellent combo by e.X.e.Y's Yamaguchi. His outstanding smoothness and style was a absolute eye catcher throughout the combo. This combo definitely fit this round's korean style theme. His smoothness not only highlighted his control and confidence during this combo but also contributed to fluidity and flow of the combo. The combo was wrapped up by a clean and concise finisher giving the combo some definite closure. Juminuwo Execution: 7 Difficulty: 6 Creativity: 6 Appeal: 9 Total: 28 A very flashy combo by AD's Juminuwo; right off the bat jumi's flashy style and flamboyant hand movements emits and appealing aura. Juminuwo's stylistic approach to korean style is very interesting and is quite enjoyable to watch. However, there were some stumbles and split-second pauses that seemed unnatural; this in itself brings down the smoothness and brings attention to his wavering control at certain points in the combo. It's, however, a very solid combo worthy of being judged in the final round. [/SPOILER] [SPOILER=Judge 2] Juminuwo: 23.5/40 Execution 6/10 1 mistake in the combo Difficulty 4.5/10 some difficult tricks and links in there Creativity 4/10 good use of linkages Presentation 9/10 style heavy and overall good presentation Yamaguchi: 24/40 Execution 9/10 almost perfect combo Difficulty 6/10 healthy amounts of difficulty in the combo overall Creativity 2/10 some attempt to be creative Presentation 7/10 overall good presentation but it was quite normal overall, nothing that stood out overall Mark and Orange: 16/40 Execution 10/10 no mistakes at all Difficulty 2/10 extremely simple combos very little attempts at difficulty Creativity 0/10 no creativity Presentation 4/10 weird edit together, weird segregated combos. presentation overall was quite bad so the winner is Yamaguchi for me (Note: I may not be entirely correct with my judging in regards to the theme so let me know if you guys have differing opinions) [/SPOILER] [SPOILER=Judge 3] Spinny Execution: 8/10 Difficulty: 6.5/10 Creativity: 7/10 Appeal: 7.5/10 Total: 29/40 e.X.e.Y Execution: 8/10 Difficulty: 7.5/10 Creativity: 7/10 Appeal: 8/10 Total: 30.5/40 Advanced Direction Execution: 8.5/10 Difficulty: 7.5/10 Creativity: 7/10 Appeal: 8.5/10 Total: 31.5/40 Score-wise, it was quite a close battle between the three of them, with Advanced Direction having a 1-point lead over e.X.e.Y. Jumi and Yamaguchi each had their own appeals, mixing in some of their personal flavors. For Yama, I think there was a bit of Japanese style in it, and as for Jumi...well, I don't know. Creativity-wise, if we are to stick to the definition of Korean style within the UPSB wiki, all teams performed quite well. Mark & Orange might have to pick up a bit on the technical portion of the definition, but I think they got the other parts quite well. Jumi's spinning seems to fit the definition well in that it featured a substantial amount of technicality, yet while keeping the pace and rhythm of the spinning. Yama might need to brush up on expanding the technical horizon. Difficulty-wise, Mark&Orange, seemed to perform averagely. There are other tricks which could've added technicality (reference to Jumi and Yama's videos), or even difficulty, without sacrificing smoothness. I guess subtle tricks might do it. Yama and Jumi both performed well, yama focusing towards finger slot tricks for the desired difficulty and Jumi mixing in some stops and hand motions to further control the pen movement. Mark&Orange, also needs to work on appeal. The spinning looked bland (for one spinner) and rushed (for the other). But after all this, there is so much you can do to be able to truly adhere one's spinning to the "true" Korean style. I guess watching the videos of oldies PSing can be the best we can get to seeing the said style. All this being said, I hereby declare Jumi as winner. [/SPOILER] Final Result : Tie -.___-. [/SPOILER] Power Style judging: [SPOILER=Power Style Judging] [SPOILER=Judge 1] Advanced Direction - Ivabra: Execution 9/10 Difficulty 8/10 Creativity 7/10 Appeal 7/10 31 --Insane linkages, that aerial into top spin trick (flawless), though I felt that you could do a little more with the finisher. e.X.e.Y - AlvinPS: Execution 8/10 Difficulty 7/10 Creativity 6/10 Appeal 6/10 27 --Your power tricking was ok I guess. Though, your combo felt dragged on way too long and that 1p2h move felt like it was thrown in unnecessarily into the combo. Spinny - Cloud: Execution 8/10 Difficulty 8/10 Creativity 8/10 Appeal 7/10 31 --He did a nice job with the top spin in the beginning but he went off-cam. D: Amazing power trick finish; great job with spreads harmonic/counters. Linkages seem easy; I may be wrong because of camera quality. Winner: Cloud Fits with the theme nicely. I was really impressed with the finisher. [/SPOILER] [SPOILER=Judge 3] spinner - execution - difficulty - creativity - appeal - total ivabra - 8/7.5/6/8 - 29.5 (good execution and balance, nice linkages, powerful style but power tricks should be stronger for this theme, great overall) alvinps - 6.5/6/4.5/6 - 23 (fix your camera haha good combo, but a bit long, can have stronger power) cloud - 7/8.5/5.5/7.5 - 28.5 (zoom out a bit, hand goes offscreen once; power is strong, could have better linkages; nice beginning) IVABRA WINS [/SPOILER] [SPOILER= Judge 3] Advanced Direction : Execution: 9.5/10 Difficulty: 9.0/10 Creativity: 9.5/10 Appeal: 9.5/10 Execution: I felt some parts of the combo were slower/faster than others Difficulty: Several of those hybrid and aerial tricks are hard to accomplish, but there wasn't a whole lot of power tricks involved imo Creativity: I don't believe I saw many tricks being used more than 2 times, besides the power tricks. Appeal: I liked the combo a lot, it was definitely something new and appealing, although it didn't use too many power tricks e.X.e.Y : Execution: 8/10 Difficulty: 8.273/10 Creativity: 8.50000000000000001/10 Appeal: 6.5/10 Execution: Some visible breaks in flow of the combo and honestly I couldn't see shit Difficulty: I feel that most of the tricks this spinner did aren't really the most difficult tricks, although still difficult. Creativity: I saw more power tricks in this video than the first, but some weren't executed the best. Appeal: I feel this is kind of a stereotypical combo style of a mix of power and other tricks, so I didn't find it too interesting. Spinny: Spinny Execution: 9.5/10 Difficulty: 9.75/10 Creativity: 10/10 Appeal: 10/10 Execution: The combo was done great, but the catch was a little sketchy Difficulty: Dat indexspin. Creativity: I actually liked the way the combo linked together, especially the ending with the reversal tricks Appeal: I came Final Result : Another tie -.____-. [/SPOILER]

    [/SPOILER] [/SPOILER] RESULTS : [SPOILER=Results] [SPOILER = Judge 1] team - execution/difficulty/creativity/appeal - total and comments Advanced Direction - 6.5/9.5/8.5/7.5 - 32/40 Insane difficulty and linkages, creative transfer, execution of both spinners could improve but the level of this tag is amazing. Miyat should turn his camera autofocus off and film at a better setup if possible. I particularly liked alvaris' starter and miyat's 1:03-1:08 linkage. e.X.e.Y - 3.5/8.5/8.5/5.5 - 26/40 Nice seasick, solid execution and links by yama. Transfer is ordinary. Wtf linkages by penvirus, the members of this tag present different aspects of spinning which makes it interesting. Penvirus' creativity and difficulty are amazing, but try to fix lighting and not drop the finish by accident --> large loss of points in execution and presentation, since doubles feels....inconclusive/unsatisfactory with that ending. Spinny - 7/6/6/7.5 - 26.5/40 'Professional' black setup is very nice. Transfers were mostly done with the same trick but 'flipped' setup, which changes the direction of rotation; it would have been better for visual impact to just use the same orientation or side-by-side arrangement to continue the rotations. Video should have stopped at 0:41 for best ending feeling, overall difficulty is ok, but linkages can be improved. Final result: 1. Advanced Direction 2. e.X.e.Y. 3. Spinny [/SPOILER] [SPOILER=Judge 2] Advanced Direction: Execution 7/10 Difficulty 9/10 Creativity 10/10 Appeal 8/10 34 What an amusing transition. Great difficult combos though second combo needs some work. e.X.e.Y: Execution 7/10 Difficulty 8/10 Creativity 6/10 Appeal 7/10 28 Nicely executed combo to start off the video and simple transition. Not sure what that finisher/ending was but props to the second combo; looked very difficult. Spinny: Execution 8/10 Difficulty 7/10 Creativity 8/10 Appeal 8/10 31 Great presentation with black background, same mod, and style consistency. Nice transitions but combos looked repetitive and spammy. Winner: Advanced Direction Great combos and funny/creative transition. haha xD [/SPOILER] [SPOILER=Judge 3] Advanced Direction: Execution 7/10 Difficulty 8/10 Creativity 9/10 Appeal 8/10 32 really creative and amazing difficulty. The second could have been smoother but great job nonetheless. e.X.e.Y Execution 6/10 Difficulty 7/10 Creativity 7/10 Appeal 7/10 27 the lightning and smoothness could have been a lot better. The camera also seemed way too zoomed in. Spinny: Execution 8/10 Difficulty 9/10 Creativity 7/10 Appeal 7/10 31 impressive links and difficulty but the transition could have included more variety. Also, the links did get repetitive after a while. [/SPOILER] [SPOILER=Judge 4] Advanced Direction ------------------------------- Execution: 9/10 Difficulty: 10/10 Creativity: 9/10 Appeal: 9/10 >An absolutely stunning doubles done by Alvaris and Miyat. Both spinners demonstrated their superb ability to strive hard and work as a team in this particular video. The creativity of their highly original oven transition was phenomenal. In particular, Miyat showcased his remarkable skill of developing fresh linkages by incorporating common mini combos, remixing them, and making them his own. Miyat is most definitely a potential powerhouse to be seen in coming world competitions. Alvaris has also found ways to bring forth more new material to the PS arena. Even though Alvaris exhausted a good amount of his trick arsenal in UPSBT12, he still was able to make an flashy and enjoyable combo. However, this isn't a contest of complements. Both spinners displayed a global-tier performance despite the differences in their style. ~ e.X.e.Y ---------------------------- Execution: 7/10 Difficulty: 6/10 Creativity: 8/10 Appeal: 7/10 >Yamaguchi and PenVirus of e.X.e.Y created a solid doubles video. Yama's linkages were very clean and stylish whereas PenVirus's combo was technical and a bit more elaborate. The conciseness of Yamaguchi's combo in comparison to PenVirus's lesser controlled combo proved that the difference in skill between the two spinners is easily distinguishable. More specifically, when examining PenVirus's combo, the novice and attentive pen spinner would immediately take note of the awkward angled and strange hand positioning. The overall presentation of PV's combo somewhat fails to do justice to the linkages executed throughout the clip. Adjusting the camera angle would greatly improve the appeal of PV's spinning as well as the overall appeal of the doubles clip. ~ Spinny ---------------------- Execution: 8/10 Difficulty: 8/10 Creativity: 7/10 Appeal: 8/10 >Spinny's doubles submission is instantly appealing to the viewer's eyes. The much-loved black background was utilized quite well by both spinners. Each spinner style's had intricate features that made them slightly more distinguishable from each other. However, the synchronization done in between transfers was done well by both spinners who seemed to spin in harmonic unison at many points in the video. Unfortunately, the flamboyant and stylish spinning could not compensate for the overall lack in difficulty. Given that there were many instances where both spinners executed controlled power sequences, these Spinny members omitted a great sense of dedication and teamwork. The difficulty and variety are the two criteria Spinny couldn't master in this round, thus the creativity scoring suffered a reduction. However, this team from PSH (mainland China) has shown a great deal of enthusiasm and drive to do well in this tournament. ------------------------------------------------------ {Winner} Advanced Direction. [/SPOILER] [SPOILER=Final Result] Advanced Direction wins this round as their combo had just the right combination of execution, difficulty, creativity and appeal which helped them edge over the other teams. Congratulations to Advanced Direction and thank you to all the teams that participated. [/SPOILER] I would like to thank everyone for taking an interest and/or being a part of team tournament. It could not have been possible without you guys. Thank you.

    done. Also, just a reminder guys, you still have to send me a pm with the information required for your team to be registered. Also an add on to the rules, you can have more than 5 spinners per team.

    @TheAafg , You should set at less rough schedule such as deadline for lineups and combo submitted. It make us easier to decide our lineups, we can know who can film in time or who are too busy to participate in that round.

    This would be interesting, see what SharpSpinner and Advanced Direction could do with (i think IMO of course), the favoritism in the first look. Other teams are well balanced. I spect to see what is coming from now ;), good luck for everyone. Bye.

  77. Iota
    Date: Sat, Jul 21 2012 17:49:57

    Not really....it doesn't take two weeks to film a combo honestly, unless it's WT/WC. It's nice to have the two weeks, but at least personally I'd like to see less time for judging than the current 1-2 weeks (it takes maybe an hour tops, probably far less is what people spend...I mean really), and something like 10 days to film even is plenty.

  78. TheAafg
    Date: Sat, Jul 21 2012 17:50:06

    @Raos if you want me to extend the deadline so that the tournament drags on to september when school starts and people don't have time to film, sure. You have 10 days counting today, two weekends, and its summer.

    School on Thailand have been started for 2 months and the semester will end in the next 2 months. Different country, different school time. Anyway, I agree with 10 days per round to film. We need not more than 3 days to film, but we may need more than 3 hours. Participants should plan his/her own combo, or at less rough structure. And then, just find one or two free day(s) to film it.

  81. TheAafg
    Date: Sat, Jul 21 2012 18:59:19

  121. fang
    Date: Thu, Aug 9 2012 09:51:34

    I thought this was counted just as the world cup. And not counting like everything matters. Means Sharpspinner won, they got 2 out of the 3 matches.

    SpoilerName: Trinity Technical 6 / 10 Artistic 7 / 10 Doubles 6 / 10 Total 19 / 30 Name: Advanced Direction Technical 8 / 10 Artistic 8 / 10 Doubles 8.5/ 10 Total 24.5 / 30
    This should be counted as 3-0. Cuz advanced direction won 3 matches out of the 3. What let me go to the second point. The artistic round of the Trinity vs AD. On what judge criteria did our combo's get judged? Cuz just a number for our combo isn't enough. This way we can see on what kind of criteria we lost. (like diffuculty) Cuz no offence to Jumi who made a good combo, I thought my combo was more artistic and difficult.

Fuck, I am a retard :facepalm: I apologize for the delay but currently I have a new judge judging the battle of SharpSpinner and Variety because the manager of Variety wants the battle to be re-judged. To avoid any more confusion, this is the best way. [QUOTE=fang;217968] What let me go to the second point. The artistic round of the Trinity vs AD. On what judge criteria did our combo's get judged? Cuz just a number for our combo isn't enough. This way we can see on what kind of criteria we lost. (like diffuculty) Cuz no offence to Jumi who made a good combo, I thought my combo was more artistic and difficult.[/QUOTE] I really don't know what criteria the judges judged your combos brah, probably artistic since it was in artistic theme. I did not ask the judges to go deep into the criteria or judge 5 things per video like execution, difficulty etc because for 36 videos it would be 180 sections to judge in total. Not a whole lot of judges will be willing to put in that much effort for a small tournament. [QUOTE=Walkaz wrote: how did i get 5 T.T i mean not many people did that ps-ing with music thing,so it would be as a +(plus) for originality( since no one did ps-ing to rap ) and creativity isn't it? was not good at presentation as i had a few slips,but even so the score wouldn't be just 5 T.T i would like some explanation if possible,thanks
    theme was artistic not creativity and it seems like you dropped the pen near the end (?) not sure man why you got a 5, I wasn't the judge.

    @Abyss So like I mentioned in the previous post, I got another judge to judge your videos and the result is the same. [B]Variety: [/B]Technical 6/10 Artistic 4/10 Doubles 8/10 [B]SharpSpinner[/B]: Technical 8/10 Artistic 5/10 Doubles 6/10 Therefore this is a 2-1 victory for SharpSpinner. They will advance to the next round.

    I proposed the idea of another battle to end the tie, Variety wanted another judge to judge the battle instead of another battle. As I stated above
    I apologize for the delay but currently I have a new judge judging the battle of SharpSpinner and Variety because the manager of Variety wants the battle to be re-judged. To avoid any more confusion, this is the best way.

    @TheAafg: I don't know what about the Theme on the next round, so... there will be 3 singles of each theme or would be 2 singles and 1 doubles with those theme that you put ?. BTW, good battle against DreamChase, i have fun a lot and guys, you have a great team ;). Cya.

    I was the one who judged your video. The reason why you got a 5 was because you didn't do what you did very well. The concept of spinning to music has been around for a long, long time so technically no it wasn't very creative. Your combo lacked structure and execution. Instead of doing a freestyle you should have planned out movements set to specific timing. To me the combo looked as if you took a song that you like and just did whatever. Just because something says it's "artistic" doesn't mean you get to ignore every other aspect of penspinning.
