PSL-A and PSL-B (A being the more advanced group, B is more intermediate). The spinners competing in PSL-B are: @Wind There will be two Divisions (called East and West for simplicity, actual geography isn't taken into consideration).

    [B]East Division[/B]

    Spinford

    The regular season for each spinner will consist of 3 matches, one against each of the other spinners in their division. Playoffs will match the two top-seeded spinners from each division against each other to determine the Finals matchup. Schedule: Rules:

    so if I reach the 2nd place for example, I'll need to battle AGAIN against the first place of my group in the semi finals? Twice the same battle is kinda boring I guess, but I' don't have a problem with that ;) (Actually, I see why it is how it is^^ But I somehow prefer the other system. Nevertheless, I'm glad to participate ;) ) btw: Hi LIMIT! ^^

    I like how in the first picture, my name is selected :D Good luck to all who are/will be facing me.

    Ahh Now I see y I was not selected These "intermediates" are probably considered pro level for my level :P

    ohohohoo..hi Kiyo~ hope we can meet again~ lol..good luck everyone:) it's very easy to battle me:P

    I think it's better to structure the tournament like this: Semi Finals: 1st of East Group vs 2nd of West Group 2nd of East Group vs 1st of West Group This is because like this, it's more possible that battles occur that have never been before in that tournament AND what is more and to me the most important aspect, this way it would be like the best two spinners of the tournament, no matter in which group they were, will battle against each other in the finals (in order to make an exciting final). But in your way, it is sure that the semi Finals just repeat a round of the previous rounds, but with other videos. The only good reason for that is, that it's impossible that the final contains a battle that has already been hold. So in a conclusion, there is a preference for the common idea of a tournament (in my opinion), because: - The final is more exciting, because the battle is hold by the two best spinners of the tournament - The Semi Final is not that predictable due to battles that have occured once I finally want to say that I do like this tournament, but wanted to suggest a (in my opinion) better idea. So after all, please think about it, I am alright with all of your decisions.

    I modeled it after real sports league's regular seasons and playoffs. In EVERY major (american) sport, the playoffs are within conferences and then the final match is cross-conference. If we had more time than just 5 matches then I'd do cross-conference regular-season matches too, but we only have time for 3 regular-season matches so it's all in-conference. I understand why it's easy to think it should be the other way, but it's only strange because of the very short season, maybe next time we can have it longer and it will make sense

  14. strat1227
    Date: Tue, May 10 2011 17:45:46

    @Wind I PM'd you with the very specific idea that you should NOT confirm unless you were POSITIVE you could submit videos. If this has changed then I suggest you withdraw while we still have plenty of time to replace you. If you stay in you are expected to submit every video.

    I'll stay. -goes finds camera-

  22. spinford
    Date: Wed, May 18 2011 22:27:09

  23. iColor
    Date: Wed, May 18 2011 22:31:02

    Yes, that'll be fine.

  24. LIMIT
    Date: Thu, May 19 2011 02:58:55

    i still dont understand about the video code..

  25. strat1227
    Date: Thu, May 19 2011 03:02:16

    Write the video code on a piece of paper. Then put that piece of paper on your desk or anywhere in view of the camera.

  26. Wind
    Date: Thu, May 19 2011 04:00:49

    Video code would say something like... Our opponent's name for that round... Right?

  27. iColor
    Date: Thu, May 19 2011 04:11:08

    The video code is in the first post.

  28. strat1227
    Date: Thu, May 19 2011 04:13:18

    the video code is very large, red, and underlined in the first post. PLEASE read the freaking rules people.

  29. Kiyo
    Date: Thu, May 19 2011 14:12:23

    so it has to be there permanently? I wanted it to appear right at the end of my clip. :/

  30. strat1227
    Date: Thu, May 19 2011 15:56:24

    @Kiyo that's fine, as long as you show it at some point during your video [quote=strat1227]

      [*]All videos must be original for each battle. At the beginning of each round there will be a code provided that must be in sight of the camera [B]at some point[/B] during the video.

    we don't have to write it EXACTLY like how its there? like with caps instead..

  32. miyat
    Date: Thu, May 19 2011 16:53:17

    lolol, you guys... I'll film and upload today.

  33. strat1227
    Date: Thu, May 19 2011 17:59:21

    The point of the code is to make sure we know the video is original and made only for this, as long as I see that you put that code somewhere it's fine, caps, underline, whatever, doesn't matter

    Date: Sun, May 22 2011 20:49:01

    I also sent my clip to iColor and am kind of excited about what Iota will bring up. I bet he will be better, because I do not feel any good with my clip xD

  37. spinford
    Date: Sun, May 22 2011 20:49:47

    Mine will be out in a few hours.

  38. Kiyo
    Date: Sun, May 22 2011 20:57:14

    There is one thing left: You can not be sure whether you advance into the Semi Finals, because during the time of preparation for the next clip, there is a voting which is to be considered. So the Semi Finalist have only got one week for preparation.

  39. strat1227
    Date: Mon, May 23 2011 02:35:38

    It was just a notification, I mentioned everybody regardless of if you sent, I'll do it every week. If you've already submitted then just ignore it, you don't have to say that you submitted.

  58. strat1227
    Date: Tue, May 31 2011 17:36:09

    @LIMIT ah you're right, sorry that was a typo, your opponent record should be 0-1 opponent record only matters at the end of the season if there's a tie though, so right now it's not important. /fixed

  59. strat1227
    Date: Wed, Jun 1 2011 02:03:47

    JUNE 6TH NOT JUNE 3RD, sorry guys

  60. Kiyo
    Date: Wed, Jun 1 2011 12:06:28

    How does the opponent record matter? I mean, how does it help out if there is a tie? Plus, I think it'd help, if you reedit the first post including the 2nd round in view of the fact that round one does not matter anymore.

    Hope it's ok if I hand in my clip tomorrow (which is the 6th of June), because in the first post, you wrote according to the table, that the 2nd round will last until June 5th. This puzzles me up =.= Nevertheless, I believe the latest posts which say June 6th. btw Good Luck Matt! gz
