Date: Tue, Mar 26 2013 19:38:05
Now all UPSB spinners are unfortunately out of WT. :violin: I thought I would announce this tournament. The deadline for submissions to all categories is 5th June 2013 at 11:59 GMT. Please send submissions to me via PM on here as either a downloadable link or Youtube link. You can submit for whatever categories you want, just one of them, two of them or all of them. Some questions that have been answered:
Categories Best trick -Film a trick or hybrid. -The best trick will be judged on creativity and/or difficulty. -You can submit up to 3 tricks for this. They can be all in one video, or in separate videos. Best combo. -You must clearly state if you want your combo scored by point system A or B. System A - Scoring will be judged on: Difficulty /25 Execution /25 Aesthetic appeal /10 Creativity /10 System B - Scoring will be judged on: Difficulty /15 Execution /15 Aesthetic appeal /10 Creativity /30 So if you make a creative combo, choose system B. If you make a difficult combo, choose system A. Got it? Good. : ) The combo which scores the highest /70 will win. The single best combo, which could be from either category. Sorry, there is not a prize for each category, only one for the one very best. Consistancy Challenge You get points for each of these you manage to film before the deadline. Points are in brackets after the trick name and required number. Whoever makes the most points win this category. The list is rather large, just to give you plenty of options in what you can do. I do not expect anyone will get close to finishing this list. [spoiler="This is the list of tricks withSpoiler
1 can we submit a video for everything? Yes, submit for whatever you want. 2 can we submit more then 1 vid for: Best combo/Consistancy Challenge? The best combo, let's say two combos. Consistancy challenge can just all be seperate videos. You don't need to do all the stuff in one video. 3 can we also make a tutorial for a hybrid? Yes, or a mini combo, that's fine too. if so: does it matter if the hybrid alone (without tutorial) is already on youtube? No. 4 Consistancy Challenge: does the 3 in (3 Thumbspin 3.5 (4) ) means the amount of times you have to do it in 1 try? Yes, so you in that case, have to land 3 Thumbspin 3.5s without dropping. You can reset the pen inbetween attempts though, as long you catch each TS and make the proper number of rotations.<(number of points this is worth)>"] 20 rounds of Fingerpass (or Fingerpass Reverse) in 30 seconds, or less. (5) Cont. Thumbaround x10 (1) Cont. Indexaround x10 (1) Cont. Middlearound x10 (2) Cont. Ringaround x10 (5) Ringaround Harmonic x3 (5) Cont. Thumbspin 1.5 x5 (1) Cont. Thumbspin 2.0 x5 (3) Cont. Backaround x10 (3) Cont. Bak 1.5 x10 (5) Cont. FL TA x10 (3) Cont. FL TA Rev x10 (3) Cont. Pun kan x8 (10) i.sonic Harmonic x2 (3) 2p2h Cont. TA x5 (2) 2p2h cont. FL TA x3 (3) 2p2h cont. Indexaround x3 (3) 2p2h cont. Middlearound x3 (5) 2p2h cont. Ringaround x3 (8) 2p2h TA Harmonic x5 (5) 2p2h Indexaround Harmonic x3 (5) 2p2h FL TA ~ Palmspin x2 (8) For the following tricks, you can reset the pen in between. i.e. You do not have to do them continuously. You just have to land the trick the required number of time, with no drops in a single, unedited video. 3 Thumbspin 3.5 (4) 3 Pun kan (2) 3 Basketball Spin 2.0 (5) 3 K4LC (1) 3 Spiderspin 2.0 [/spoiler] Tutorial section The goal of this section is to make a tutorial for a trick that does not already have a tutorial. So, if I can find a tutorial on the trick already, that was uploaded before TODAY (26th March 2013), then your tutorial will not count. My method of seeing if a tutorial already exists will be: 1) To search on Youtube 2) To look on UPSB Wiki I won't look anywhere else, so just check there is not already one on Youtube or the UPSB wiki if you are unsure. ;) Of course, the best tutorial here will win. Tutorials will be judged simply on how easy it is to learn the trick from the tutorial. You can submit up to 3 tutorials for this section. Overall winner The overall winner will be whoever did the best overall in the competition. Spinners in each category will be ranked and given points 20 for 1st, down to 1 for 20th place. Whoever makes the most points (or in other words has the best overall ranking) will win this prize. What are the prizes? To save some money on shipping, I will announce winners and then they can tell me what they want to order and I will order it and have it shipped out to their address. Otherwise, I will have everything shipped to me here AND have to pay shipping to you. The current prize fun is £50, but I will make a final announcement on 31st May what the final prize fund is (I am hoping for £100). Oh and take into account, that these are British Pounds £, NOT US Dollars $. £50 is around $75. The prize fund will be distributed equally among the 4 winners. IF I make the £100 target, I will make an extra category for the spinner who performed the best for their ability. I'll keep you updated on that. Okay, ask any questions here, if there are any. Good luck everyone. :thumb: @chisko -

Mats, does a certain trick have to spin exactly the number of rotations listed or can there be more rotations? I can't control how many rotations I get lol.

Yes and that's a big part of what makes some of those difficult. -

To anyone who noticed I was rather inactive the last two weeks: This is still running. I have been without internet access for two weeks, rather unexpectedly. My internet will be a bit sketchy for another week or two, but then it will be fine again. Good luck. :)
