    You have to show 80% of tricks in each level and 80% of combos in each level to pass, all in one unedited clip. e.g. level 1 Tricks: Charge/Pass/Fingerpass/Sonic/Thumbaround Combos: None Level 2 Tricks: Level 1 + Backaround/Middlearound/Sonic Reverse/Thumbaround Reverse/Fingerless Thumbaround Combos: Any 2, two trick combos with level 1/2 tricks. For example. A commity would have to agree on this.

    What? I don't think it makes sense to arbitrarily assign levels of pen spinning. There's more to pen spinning than execution of tricks alone. The only thing I could see this used for is boosting spinners ego's/promoting elitism.

    It would not be purely tricks, but combos and executions/smoothness of combos. Also, at slightly higher levels, perhaps introduce creativity. Make spinners make their own combos... Higher levels would have to be judged by high levels spinners.

    I think a ladder is a more effective method of judging your progress relative other spinners. Spinning is constantly changing, while the lower levels might be set, anything intermediate spinning on would change pretty drastically year to year depending on the trends.

    The initial levels are supposed to be easy, but then you would see things such as: Level 5 - TS 3.0, Backaround fall Level 10 - TS 8.0, Cont. Ringaround x5, Cont. Shadow 2.5 That kind of thing.
