The transitions [in the doubles] are only a minor element in judging.
Just to remind everyone. -

The real problem in psing is this. People that think that some random guy will do things to keep this alive, and that this guy will appear from nowhere just by saying "wow ps so dead" or "upsb not in fpsb not in w0t so shet 2007 w4s mach better". I'm saying this in general, not about you @Enkronidus. It looks like i want to kill you lol. Pen spinning is not like football, climbing, biking or yoyoing. There is no big company, moving money and working a lot to keep the sport/activity alive, for their own purposes (moar money). Then, what moves psing forward? people with a lot of time, patience and common sense, with the intent of doing something for the community. If the number of spectators (people doing nothing) grows faster than the number of organizers (people doing something), or as in our case, the second number is decreasing, then the comunity will die. Its as simple as that. So, if you, anonymous reader, want to see big championships in 2020, or even this year, just move your ass and start thinking about what you could do to make this happen. Maybe organizing a tournament, a collab, creating promo videos or compilations, judge combos in tournaments, private teams with amazing showoff videos or public teams to motivate new spinners, tutorials, research departments... or even simpler. Participate in something already organized. The percentage of people that didnt send in european tournament was a shame. The interest in world tournaments is decreasing quite a lot. You could be the one winning next WT. Remember that the last winner was a ~1 year old spinner. And now some people will think "but wait u only say dis and u no participate n anything wut w0t duh bad bad". I should be on that list, with other 5 missing people, but there was a lack of interest by some members... I suppose it is because of that. lof<3 -

Incorrect, non-participating spinners may join the collab, but only the 6 spinners who are selected may compete in WC14. Please share this so that other people can get this cleared up. -

I, as BRPSB's team manager, come here to say that unfortunately, we didnt reach the minimum of spinners to enter the competition. Therefore, we wont be participating this years WC. :( Sorry.

why is 1 week given to send lineups for each round? i...don't think it takes that long to organise, and it makes rounds unnecessarily dragged out/prolonged....
-
Date: Mon, Dec 30 2013 12:44:00
There are always times were you can't contact a spinner for a few days due to holidays/no internet/etc. which makes it difficult to decide the lineup. It's especially hard with so many multi board teams. Just look at it as more practice time for the teams that get their lineups faster.
