I don't know if someone has come up with this before, but I think that psing is the PERFECT sport for a fantasy league. there are worldwide organizations and tournaments, easy scoring possibilities, and so many recognized penspinners. Members could draft a fantasy team of world-class penspinners, or subgroups could start individual leagues. Many Americans are familiar with fantasy football, but i don't know if this idea is used in other parts of the world. Either way, penspinning lends itself perfectly to a fantasy game because of its large field of highly recognized world-class spinners. plus, retirement from penspinning and upcoming stars make it a very dynamic sport.

Strat1227 wanted to do a "fantasy penspinning" with World Tournament. I think there wasn't enough interest for it to work.

Yeah pretty much. And there would be an official scoring system. And in smaller individual leagues, there would be a "draft" where participants would pick their spinners in a specific order so nobody would have the same spinners and it would require more team depth and strategy and predictions. The smaller leagues could be set up by the moderators and participants could either ask to be part of one or the moderators would place them in one that isn't full. And we might be able to get a knowledgable psing pedagogue to write profiles on some famous psers to aid participants in choosing a well-balanced team. Like this: Eriror: Eriror is a UPSB mainstay and world powerhouse. Having spun for 6 years, his experience makes him one of the best spinners in the world. He even dethroned bonkura on 2007. His world cup uses would be difficulty, smoothness, variety, and doubles, although his biggest strength would be in the control category. The only spinners in the world with eriror's level of control may be a13x and supawit127. (with links to each spinner's profile.)

i think you may slightly misunderstand the concept... you pick a team of spinners participating in wc12 and you receive points for how well the members of your team do...like a battle win could be worth like 10 points while a team advancement could be worth 5 or something. it would work great with wt but i think that it would be really fun and competitive for wc12 too. -

well the problem is that there's no "team league" concept, you can do it for world cup sure, in fact I believe I ran something like that for WC10. the idea was you had to pick a certain # of spinners and you got points for victories. but you cant change your team once the world cup begins, so it may be more beneficial to choose weaker spinners from good teams rather than ace spinners from bad teams because they're more likely to advance further in the competition and have opportunity to generate points
