    The raw scores from each community are interesting. Really reflects on what aspect of spinning each community values the most.

    I doubt he really believes that. While I agree with most of the decisions, the fact the vstrike is not in the top 6 of his group is a bit strange. But in that case I'm no one to argue I guess. I'm also stunned by the fact that Lekunga is ranked #2, even before Rex. Great round, next one is going to be even tougher!

    he received 0 mentions in top 4 or top 6 of any judge, i didnt add ppl who didnt get any votes in top 6 at all. same thing for fang and zamorix i think.

    I dont get why sister_r is first winner of his group... the other three winner (I just call them all winners) were much better, but, okay... dont wanna complain. Seems to be okay, well, as a German you always want your "countrymen" to win, but if its not possible than ... well. Than its like that ;) Thanks to Zombo for organizing a WT!

    Where are all the people that were saying gollumsk8 had a good shot at winning now?

    Date: Sun, Feb 13 2011 00:47:07

    gollumsk8 almost got in. Eh, never liked him much anyway. s777's a much better fpsb spinner imo. Wtf man, how'd vic get 2nd to sister r... but, lotta JEB spinners, they're doing better than I thought they would. Lookin' forward to the next round--should be fun. Also, sad to see some of our upsb members didnt make it but GL to the rest.

    he did. Gollumsk8 has lots of potential to move above that. just looks at his 5 year solo, and his FPSB tournament rounds. had an unlucky first round along with other spinners. Im not in agreement with all the JEB spinners getting through. :/ TIME TO RAGE Not to get me wrong i love jeb, but for example: Firstly, dont know how Vic was 2nd to sister R? Vic probably had the best video out of the entire first round. Sister R had nice direction changes, and some links but nothing like vics creative links and technique. 2nd.. Asin. Nice wierd styles here. Honestly, its fun to watch...but its all too simple. I find the difficulty really low... and the inbetween tricks spammy. dont know why everyone is so amused. annikis was so much better than this. :/ ctionist was a power showcase. but control, smoothness and presentation was really low. come on. better overall spinners in this group. ponkotu had an alright combo. but i really feel someone else should have taken his spot. :/ it was too short not showcasing enough. Rex should have been #1 in group. ugh... ========== on the nice note. Great job to the UPSB spinners getting through. lol at EK not versing Vic for once. good luck guys. wish pen ninja was there... Happy that frat, s777, x1213 got through. alright lets see what happens!

    judges = JEB fanboys? or maybe they want the 'gods' of JEB to release more material in next round...ponkotu, please try seriously this time -.-

  25. Zombo
    Date: Sun, Feb 13 2011 03:36:44

    the reason vic got #2 is because of a weakness in the rules vic got 15 votes in top 4 + 1 vote in top 6 sister_r got 16 votes in top 4 + 1 vote in the top 6 the only community who did not include vic in top 6 is JEB. but its unprovable that they intentionally omitted vic to help sister_r, even though that's exactly what happened. if you remove UPSB and JEB's judging in group C, vic still has 15/1, sister_r 15/1 also, but then vic becomes first because of 2nd tiebreaker rule which is # of number 1 votes, 10.333 to 2.333

    jut dun really agree with the results. asinis good,but his combo is just way too simple,im a jeb fanboy,but i think anikis is clearly better than him. 2nd,ctionist's combo is hard,but the smoothness and control are really sucks,wher is peninja????wtf 3rd,deathfish?hes good in power tricks,but evolution is better.thats all.and no one seems to appreciate jamie's combo.sosad.gisele is good too.sosad

    Less than half of UPSB spinners made it through the first round. fayul ?

  30. A.Sate
    Date: Sun, Feb 13 2011 07:49:15

    Only one less than half. And this is Jamie Enn's first WT, its still a great achievement!

    zombo perhaps you should investigate JEB as to why they didnt include VIC in the top . This is stupid.

  32. taichi1082
    Date: Sun, Feb 13 2011 09:41:46

    He should probably not. There have been lots of other stupid judging decisions, if you investigate one you must investigate them all.

    yeah, it is a flaw in the system used to rank participants for results of round 1. if you look at the pdf version of WT11 r1 results, it is clear Vic would be 1st (about 10 votes for 1st vs Sister_R's 2.5?), but the ranking went by sum of votes given to that spinner for ranks 1-4, in which Sister_R beat Vic by 1 (also note that for some weird reason, JEB's judges didn't rank Vic in top 4 of his group for their judging) w/e, some of the ranks seem weird. if you look at the individual scores given by some communities, many are disagreeable. too much to investigate, quite a 'few' judges didn't follow the recommended marking criteria it seems xD

    the expected ratio is 32/99 = 32%. UPSB did better than that so it's not a fail.

    Yeah.. the judging overall was pretty awful, IMO.

  37. Hippo2626
    Date: Thu, Feb 17 2011 02:51:18

    There is a chance that communities are using the judges to try to get their spinners into better positions by rating great spinners down. I'm not gonna' point fingers or anything but perhaps Zombo could see if there were any judging teams that rated many spinners down even though they were obviously the best or somewhere good. Dunno' if what I said above is clear but for example, there's a great spinner "Aa" and he is definitely gonna' be the top of his group. A community "Zz" gets its judges to rate that spinner "Aa" down to 4th or 5th place so his position will be lower when added to all the other results so that spinner "Aa" would get a harder battle in the next round and/or that communities "Zz" members would get easier battles. Is there anyway you could check, perhaps get an explanation on all the individual judges for proof?

    Date: Thu, Feb 17 2011 02:58:33

    well u can chewck for urself, dont have time to do it now, all raw scores are there so u should be able to check that thats why i was thinking of making communities only have spinners in 4 groups max, that way they can change at least 4 groups without their own spinners. but it means (for a team with 8 spinners) to have 2 spinners per group
