World Cup 2012 is coming up and we, as a community, need a team if we wish to participate. Zombo has posted up some information regarding the rules and registration of communities/teams here: World Cup 2012 - Team Registration and General Information But to summarize with information relevant to perhaps you, this is what UPSB needs. [COLOR="red"][B]

[*]6 World Class Spinners
[*]2 Judges (minimum)
[*]1 Manager

eriror yes but hes not competeing, neo no,, hippo no, isuk no, and twine no. they maybe good spinners but they are far from world class. world class is at vicgotgame level and s777 level and from what iv seen they have none of that. -

eriror is competing, see his 6 year announcement on youtube, and he's been asked repeatedly a few times and he's said yes (of course, this is after WT finished, or else this info would be meaningless) yes, world class is vgg and s777. but those guys are the very peak of world class, they are the world's best (no doubt in the top 5 spinners in the world) if you assume 8 boards in WC, 6 spinners each, --> 'top 50' or more of the world's spinners...and some of the gods in WT11 won't be competing too; also WC is a battle of themes - you don't have to be strong at every aspect of PS (while this is preferable); a spinner who is very strong in one theme and alright overall > a spinner who is a bit better overall but not that strong in any theme you are correct that UPSB has no one like vicgotgame or s777 level; but most boards don't either...FPSB doesn't (fel2fram might reach that level of craziness by 2012 though), GPC and LPSA don't (sponge is very good, want to see how much he improves for WC), HKPSA does (kin), TWPS doesn't (rex is crazily good, but not up to that degree), PSH does (snow can smash just about anyone in 2p, 2h and difficulty), THPSC does (supawit, baimai's and peem's level is unknown), JEB doesn't (HAL, mesi, fire@fox are really good, but still quite a significant difference), as far as i know none of the 'minor' boards have anyone close --> UPSB's situation is not good at all, we are weaker than basically every other major board (unless some guys from the now-inactive BPSC apply for UPSB team), but comparing to s777 and vicgotgame isn't really a valid comparison imo (especially given that they've both basically quit xD) -

i know i'm no where near i.suk's level but can i have a shot?
-
Date: Sat, Sep 24 2011 00:26:15
tbh i think THPSC is gonna dominate again this year, they still have their same line up as before and we know they are all good and by good i mean crazy and pulling shit out of their ass.. to make sure they win, as of proof look at last yr they where very well in themes and difficulty and smoothness and some what creative, the only thing they lack is linkages but think of it this way peem had a full year of practice to pull more stuff like arm around times 4 or 5 or what ever the fuck it was out of his ass.

@i.suk I disagree with you. To me people who go into the WT are already world class and/or pseudo world class. Don't forget there is a time difference and improvement is expected. Also, new spinners can show up to surprise us. Greatest example is snow. Also for chances of people coming back. You cant make a judgement now on the WC when it is not even close to the event. The boards and as well as the spinners are more clear and decide on what they are doing. Plus you aren't active in those specific communities so you wouldn't know. I understand what you are trying to say, but please look at this situation not just by an observer view, look at it from all sides

LEMMMESEEEEEEEEEEEE the ppl i would like to compete: (yes i know this is more than 6) Pen Ninja Neoknux Hippo2626 Twine Eriror Baaron (yeah i know he prob won't compete for upsb :/) I.(don't)suk I agree, there will be ample time to improve, and when WT is REALLY on, so is the pressure to improve >:]

I think we are all forgetting @Jamie Enns , I bet he is even greater a now then ever. Hopefully he'll join and UPSB might have a fighting chance.

Date: Sat, Sep 24 2011 02:53:54
not gonna lie, but @Jamie Enns has prolly some of the most difficult links and combos around. stop being so pessimistic guys
-
Date: Sat, Sep 24 2011 03:26:34
Here's how I see it: Hippo2626: Our main spinner, I'm convinced that he's more than qualified for this tournament. Like I've said before, he's always getting better and we still have like 5 months until WC12 Eriror: Nothing to say, he's been in every international competition. Jamie Enns: When I met him he blew my mind with everything he could do, no doubt he's gotten better. Baaron: If he's not competing for us then he's a stuck up douche bag. Twine: After seeing all of his videos in the UPSB tournament then yeah I could see him competing, as long as he got better. Pen Ninja: Eh I've always had mixed feelings, I'm not sure. If I saw a more recent video I could judge better. Neoknux: I do not believe that he has the ability to compete at the WC Oh and @funnky, shut the fuck up.

bro no one asked your bitch ass for your 2 cents, and dont be mad that i bring up a valid arguement about this bro. deep down sangara you know its true. -
Date: Sat, Sep 24 2011 03:35:26
then our anticipated line-up would be: Eriror,Twine,J.E.,Penja,i.suk, Hippo(who will be a powerhouse, like BaiMai) Seriously though. At this point, we dont have many spinners to consider tournament worthy. This is what we have and we can work with what we have. Honestly, were better off than most boards. We can do this, with or without Baaron. If I may add, UPSB will still have to make a qualification Collab right? The Spinners in the Collab do not have to be the exact members in the WC team. This leaves the responsibility for the rest of UPSB as well. No reason to put all burden on these guys. I have a good feeling that UPSB will do well.

It's already been said before me s777 and Vic were definitely in the top 5 spinners of the world, there is no way you can expect to have a team of spinners at that level. In fact no board has a team of spinners at that level, they just don't exist. Granted, THPSC is the dominant power in the pen spinning world and has been since early 2009, but that doesn't mean that the spinning world isn't changing. With all that said, no, you do not have a valid argument because what you're saying is that in order to even compete, we're not even talking about winning, we have to assemble the ultimate team of pen spinners that hasn't nor will ever exist. What I will give you is that you bring constant negativity to this board and quite frankly it's getting incredibly annoying. Please crawl back into your hole and take funnky with you. -

there's a time difference, yeah, but what's your point? think about it: peem's level in THPSC 1st and WC10, over a year has passed, and which power tricker nowadays can claim they can do his combos there with 5/5 perfect execution? NONE (maybe one, but that's still a maybe) WC12 is a year after WT11; but from the things we have seen from UPSB and other boards, the movement of spinners from borderline/middle-world class into the very elite doesn't take just time, it doesn't take 'just' practice, you have to know what to practice on, what to develop, where to get new ideas from (make them yourself or draw from spinners you didn't copy/derive stuff from before) etcetc the reason why snow was so surprising was that we don't see much of PSH's videos (relative to other boards, imo), and the 'only' other dark horse in WT11 was sponge...2 out of 99 isn't a very large percentage, is it? you'd need more than that (especially since WC has a 'luck' factor on which themes come up for which board)... yeah, people improve. but how often do we see people improving in <1 year like bloodgod, nadhif, far? the reason why these 3 (and some others i can't think of atm) are so special is that they improved that much in so little time also people coming back for WC and WT - yeah, that's true. we saw how well that went in WT eh (frat and answer) :P they can come back, but if they didn't practice much while they were inactive from their boards, they probably won't be at their old levels (relative to rest of world) =\ of course, there's a chance all the guys who said they weren't going to compete/quit (vic, s777, A13x, mesi, maybe a few others) will compete; i'm just making judgments on the material that's out at the moment xD you don't have to be active in a community to know its strength, you just have to watch the videos of spinners from those communities /major flaw in argument xD they could all be hiding huge amounts of material though....but if you're expecting some random guy to rise to s777/vic/peem status in one year, you might be disappointed....furthermore, other boards probably have more of these supposed 'dark horses' than upsb *end rant* edit: what to you mean by 'look at it from all sides'? Oo" and WC is getting close....it'll be here in about 4 months -
Date: Sat, Sep 24 2011 04:20:48
Well this is degrating. I thought UPSB had the best spinners, but I guess that was before VGG dropped out. *Sigh* To be completely honest, if Eriror gets lucky or if he tries hard enough, we MIGHT win, but I'm doubtful. Don't let us down, @eRiror!

Many have been talking about Baaron, so I'll throw this out there: Baaron said that he doesn't want to compete because he spins for himself, not an entire community. Also, to my knowledge, Jamie Enns has been rather dead since summer...I haven't seen any of his spinning lately and he hasn't been active in HoT I've seen some pretty sick stuff from miyat; if he can up his level of spinning a bit, I think he can represent UPSB well. The same goes for xSpin when he actually loads his combos up with intricate links. Of course, these are just ideas/suggestions

Maybe there should something like a combo matcher for also some spinners where we didn't came up with. In that way everyone got at least a fair change to show what he can do!~

I dont believe that miyat in enough to compete for the WC. Xspin may be pro but not at a WC standard. They are both good spinners but they still got a huge milestone ahead of them. I also believe miyat wont spin for UPSB since he is on a break for now

i guess we should stop worrying about whether UPSB as a whole meets WC standards. whether we do or do not, we will still send in our best spinners who can compete. so The question should not be "is spinner X world class", the question should be "is spinner X our best possible spinner who can and will compete in the world cup" . The world cup standard isnt defined by a few spinners, s777 vic peem. The world cup standard is just some relative conception that we make up. so as corny as this sounds, lets just try out best. itll be fun getting owned. ;D

I can't agree more. To me the issue now is whether we have decent enough spinners ( not saying incredibly noob or world class spinners but solid spinners) who are WILLING to participate in the WC. I would really like to try out for the WC and to me the main thing in participating in the tourny is not to win the whole thing but to push myself to a greater level of spinning. It would be great to win but I don't care if we don't. By the way, whether or not a team sends their best team will not guarantee that they will win. A big part of the WC (from what I've seen in the previous WC) is not the spinners itself but the teamwork/communication/strategy that the team itself had. Look at BPSC, their team wasn't that great if you look at the spinners individually but they made it to the end because they were very united, they won nearly all their doubles battles, they were very smart in choosing who should participate for each round and dividing their strength effectively for each round. JEB probably had the second best lineup (even though it wasn't their best team that they could have much better) but because they didn't strategies well or at all they ended up in 4th place. -
Date: Sun, Sep 25 2011 12:56:22
more or less, i feel that the spinners for the WC team can already be confirmed. but what hippo said:

my sentiments. WC is a team competition, we'll need more just competent spinners to stand up for their abilities. we'll need a team that can fight it out together. if UPSB can achieve that, i dont think we'll be on the losing end. -

I'll just leave the video links of all the mentioned spinners here now so we won't have to do it later! Some are probably not the best choices though... Pen Ninja Neoknux Jamie Enns Baaron (just in case) Eriror (don't think there's even a need to have a video for him) Twine i.suk Hippo2626

._. You do know you need to basically be better than the people we're suggesting to spin, right? I can spin for 20 years and go, Ohai, i want to spin for UPSB, but i only know the thumbaround. If you're seriously going to spin for UPSB, you better show us your stuff.

#3 sounds the best -

number 3~ we will have a chance to see and what to expect from the spinners plus it would show us who really is dedicated to pen spinning :D

+1 for number 3, since the public has basically no idea of what level/strengths/strategy is needed for WC type competition off topic: BaiMai is viewing this thread :ninja: :o
-
Date: Tue, Sep 27 2011 02:10:35
Maybe whoever is gonna' choose the team doesn't have to make any major decisions just yet. We can get a general group then when the themes come out, we can discuss which 6 spinners would be able to cover all the themes the best? (coming up with a good strategy to give us a fighting chance) I vote option 3 also.

#3, I think catfish would be good enough to compete in wc besides the other spinners mentioned so far. He's really under rated

xSpin too? eh who needs him. I agree we should wait until the themes are revealed to pick our spinners. atm it looks like J.E.,eriror,hippo,pen ninja, twine, and (other) there are a lot of qualified spinners such as catfish,miyat,blah,neo, and some others... -

you answered your own question -
Date: Tue, Sep 27 2011 05:23:09
The problem is that our moderating team isn't comprised of a lot of active spinners. I don't know how up to date all the mods are on people's abilities :/ Personally I think it should be either be clip public submission or half and half clip submission. 4 or 5 for me.
-

How much clips do you want per spinner? just one, or more clips? (just asking, b/c in gpc they want more than one clip. ^___^")
-
Date: Tue, Sep 27 2011 15:31:32
Just one is fine; sometimes spinners have a lot to show but can't do it in ~20 seconds, but if they want to show it all off, they must make the most 'effective' clip by finding a way to incorporate all the good stuff they have in a short amount of time
-

well the thing is that maybe they want to show which aspect they're better at xD For example a spinner wants to show his difficulty theme and spinless theme, then I think it'll be difficult to mix them in just 1 vid Knowing which aspect a spinner focuses on also helps you know how to choose which spinner to participate in what theme in WC :) -

I'm unsure what exactly you're saying; usually a spinner might have a specialty so they would focus on that in their vid, why would they send in a difficulty clip if they are strong in spinless. Sure, they might be good in difficulty too, but if they specialize in spinless, then that's what they'll want to show... but I mean, any spinner is welcome to send in more than one clip. We only require one clip though -- we don't need spinners to put in any more work than that. -

and that could've been a possible way of selecting spinners but out of the options that i happened to throw out, it seems everyone would rather just have everyone send in clips and have the mods decide for the most part :\ so i believe that's how we're going to be doing it. -

decide spinner lineups (how to allocate spinners for different themes) -
Date: Wed, Sep 28 2011 05:46:09
They act as the go to person for the spinners and the community for information. Also, they're the go to person for the spinners to turn in their clips-- they're the ones who will receive the clips from the spinners so they can compile them, make them neat, and turn them in for that round. Also, line ups may change from round to round since not all 6 spinners will be spinning every round -- so they will be managing the lineup of spinners as well.
-
Date: Wed, Sep 28 2011 05:59:29
strictly speaking the manager only hands in the videos and lineups; the rest of the duties, such as deciding the lineups, can be arranged by members of the team. but the goal of the manager is to maximize the chances of winning of his team and that means having everybody perform to their best. I've seen managers set early deadlines to their team for submitting drafts of their combos and give them feedback for the final version. Managers can coach to improve their team

Quite a lot of you guys are just suggesting the best 6 spinners you can think of from upsb to compete, but what you are forgetting is that there will be certain themes for the WC. The team is not just about world class spinners, it's also about whether that spinner is good enough for a certain type of theme. A little note to people sending in your clip. If you have a certain theme that you would want to compete in (im not sure what themes there are going to be, it may be different from WC10, im not sure, but im pretty sure that most of the common ones will still be there such as difficulty, spinless, creativity etc) then in the combo that you will submit, show your skill in that certain theme.

Actually I dont really want to represent UPSB for now. I think I will wait around 1 more year for WT 2013 I predict: Eriror Jamie enns Hippo2626 i.suk For now these are the spinners that I want. I am pretty sure that miyat and xspin may enter for WC. Is Baaron even participating for this years WC? I heard he does not want to

Hey guys, I'm really sorry, but I was confused and mixed up some dates. Our community only needs to register by November, and we don't need our spinners by then yet. So we still have quite a bit more time to settle the spinner selection process. So I changed the deadline for clip submission to December 18th. I'm sorry if the people who submitted clips already have been inconvenienced by the earlier deadline and rushed to get a clip in, but this is the new deadline. Again, sorry about that guys...

hmm, i always thought the 'evaluation clips' formerly due on 23rd october was to prove we had 6 'world class' spinners and we'd be valid to register at all in first place (rather than for the actual team selection) w/e, more time to film...maybe an actual solo this time -

Ugh, don't want to retype my previous post -.- @Tomohiro: Your combo was pretty good. You should consider changing your camera to display your arounds a bit more compared to the rest of your combo. Also, consider adding tricks that are more "hand-involved" such as the twisted cobra bite and the hai tua to your arsenal, or even just move your hand a little bit more. I feel like I'm watching a robot spin sometimes.

What is still up for discussion though is how you would like for us to go about picking our 6 spinners. Would you guys like it to be completely based on clips that spinners send us? Or would you guys like for the moderating team to pick part of the team, and then have clips submitted for wildcard spots?
