    please request a number of spots honestly, we can't fit 128 ppl in a tournament!! too much, too long, too difficult to manage. we need to get down to 64 ppl.

    for UPSB, i think 3 or 4 MAX.

    I think you should change UPSB from Universal to English-speaking...just my opinion.

    So far so good, got about half of the lists requests for spots so far, still waiting for half of the list to email me. When i have the full list of spots ill keep the topic updated.

    And yeah the world tournament is individual, world cup is a team event.

    zombo made a comment on AC thread and
    he said theres only 1 more AC round so
    itll end by the end of december

  21. Zombo
    Date: Sat, Dec 6 2008 06:02:24

    the important thing is that videos will be handed in before the end of december,

    judging can go beyond that, but it doesn't matter.

    perhaps it would be better for the whole of the community to vote? and with administrators having more
    influence (ie one vote from an admin can count for 5).

    People I would suspect winning this year:


    Spinnerpeem
    Pyralux
    s777

    And there is going to be some unknown guy that comes around that could possibly snake it.

    Really? I have a lot of confidence in minwoo (his linkage is creative and hard), and he did score the highest in the Asia Cup. But yeah, i don't know if he'd stand a chance against a monster like s777 (but who can?).

    IMO SEVEN has got this...S777 has more skill over him but it seems like he totally lacks creativity in his vids imo....and I honestly don't think Spinnerpeem has a snowballs chance in hell laugh.gif
    but then again...This is the world tourney....everyone has been saving up for this so we really have no idea who could pull it out......

  40. sangara
    Date: Sun, Dec 14 2008 08:02:03

    Seven? Really I'd put money on him losing in the first round, I honestly think he's been exhausted. Sure he EXPLODED into the scene, but you know the saying, the bigger they are, the harder they fall.

    As far as ramio goes yes he did win the JapEn Cup but I'm not sure really, I don't think he has the "umph" to get him through the rounds.


    I might regret this later but I'm thinking JEB isn't going to be a driving force in the tourney this year. I just get this feeling that it's going to be FPSB and THPSC bringing the heavy hitters. But I have a feeling that there is going to be some mysterious spinner maybe from like the Belgium board (BPST?) or SweSpin or maybe GPC. Idk there is going to be someone though.

    Oh yea just because I'm me, I would like to see some crap given to people who spin mods similar to the Buster CYL. But that's just me.

    what?
    eriror has a VERY high chance to win 1st. im sure he has been saving as well, not
    to mention the training of his left hand.

    ==============================================

    of course i would prefer there would be tournament on UPSB for the WT, but im saying
    if there isnt enough time the next viable choice would be a voting system.

    ==============================================

    spinnerpeem will probably lose steam half way. His aerial busts are insane yes, but apart from
    that and a couple of other moves his move array is mediocre.

    pyralux will get far, not as far as s777. i love them both. as far as im concerned the final battle will
    be between s777 and eriror, completely differnt types from the style spectrum. It is because these
    two are consistant in giving quality combo's, not just 1 then another that looks like the previous etc.

    the jeb members will defintley be backed by the 100's of spinners on their board. They will be a very
    strong force as well as FPBS, and UPSB.

    I still say s777's got this. His skills are out of this world. I can barely comprehend his level of insaneness. He's not my favorite spinner at all, but he's got mad skills.

    As for Eriror, from what he's released lately, I doubt it. But if he has something up his sleeve (and it's gotta be some really big sleeves), maybe... doubt it.

    I think Sangara sounds pretty much right. :]

    ever hear about the swiss pairing system? about seeding? preventing the best from battling the best is easily solvable if you use a point system tourney style with seeding......only thing we would worry about is the better spinners being forced to release some of their better material so that they could actually make it into the WT altogether...

    Zombo, problem with the system of boards is that admins can be biased. And members from one country don't neccesaraly belong to that board. kiru isn't on GPC anymore (right?), which means he can't participate in the WT even though he in my eyes is the top German spinner.

    Swiss Pairing seems to work extremely well. If two good people play each other, one will be 1-0 and the other will be 0-1. But the 0-1 can still beat other people to be 5-1 and still be in the finals to potentially win. The 1-0 person could lose one or not at all. Even so, a loss isnt the end of the tourney for you...

    I wanna see Eriror vs. Fratleym again...

    I meant swiss pairing just for the UPSB Tourney...swiss pairing for the actual world tourney would be a huge amount of judging which Zombo already brought up might be an issue with a regular tourney system because of the huge number of spinners this year.

    we cant do double elimination or round-robin or any of those things, take too much time.

    and its unfeasible for the WT to consider every spinner in the world itself. What we do is approximate the spinner population by the communities. there might some crazy dude out there who doesnt even have internet, well we cant do much about it and its gonna be too complicate to make him join. so the WT is not the best spinners, only the best spinners of the participating communities.

    imagine if crash has to start reviewing every spinner in the world himself to decide who gets in... impossible

    u should try to enter through GPC if possible, because our spots will be quite limited

    remember that once you're in, you play for yourself, not for anybody else, so it doesnt matter who u represent.

    Well Kirua is better but I doubt Zombo would throw him in considering hes not active on UPSB at all.....I mean even though your battling for "yourself", its sort of like the Olympics...whichever individual wins, whichever community he is from will be celebrating about it.....tell me, would anyone from UPSB really be that ecstatic if Kirua won?

    What I was saying was totally theoretical ~_~...what I really should have said was that "however well Kirua places, people won't feel that its a victory for UPSB"

    Your not my favorite spinner Eriror, but I would still root for you over my favorite spinner because you are from UPSB

    Ya I would probably root for him because hes one of my favorite spinners, but not because hes winning for UPSB...Its not like anyone knows Kirua on a level like we might know Mhig or Pho or Eriror....

    Yeah, as much as I like Kirua -- he's not a "real" member of upsb. I'd rather root for eriror, vic, chautran, and some other upsb member(s).

    And you better do better than 2nd place Eri. Prove me wrong.

    well there has to be a way to make it fair to real UPSB members, we cant just let ppl who got refused in their own community to get a second chance in UPSB, that would be unfair to ppl who only visit UPSB.

    i asked Crash for 4 spots because in my head, thats the number of spots we need for UPSB members only, not for ppl who got trouble with their own community.

    mrm I can't tell if your avoiding the question or if you have a plan on how this will be chosen but I think everyone wants to know...

    who is the 4th spot!?!?!?

    first i need confirmation from crash that we indeed have 4 spots

    then i will have poll to decide what ppl want to do

    then we will execute the selection plan decided

    my prefered plan is to put chautran, eriror, and vicgotgame (? not sure...) and put the last spot up for grabs as wildcard tournament

    GPC didn't refuse me .. I left by own decision.
    If UPSB says I have to start for GPC because I'm german - well then that's my problem - not yours.

    I want for 4th member ellusion67 because it seems to me that he is trying so much to be good and because i want to see more new and good pen spinners in the world tournaments. In addition, these are the reasons i want s777 or raimo to win the WT.

    Would kiru be allowed to join the WT representing SweSpin? haha

    I know he can't, but I hope you see where I'm going Zombo. What defines ones "home-community"? Last year I wanted to join the WC08 for UPSB instead of SweSpin. A year later I'm admin and wouldn't dream of representing any other board than my own (it is now at least, it didn't feel like my "home-board" a year ago). This is the system we have, but sadly it's not perfectly working. I don't have any better ideas though, so I'll just have to live without seeing kirua in WT09.

    About being active, how often has pho been around lately? What about vic? And those who wanted DaThroat, I haven't seen him (at least not on UPSB) for months.

    edit: ok, never mind that, they are around :P still though, where is the line drawn?

    What is fair? Isn't right for the upsb board to take to the WT only the people who don't have their own community?

    Why someone who is not lucky enough to have its own community is going to stay out of the tournament because someone else who has its own community doesn't want to participate with it? It is like someone has 1 chance to get in the tournament and someone else 2.

    What i want to say is that the upsb must take spinners who don't have their own communities.

    I doubt it. Highly.

    Something that sparking said (I kind of quote him) He wrote this on December 24th:


    So it's like this...
    Yesterday around 11:53 p.m. a mod in JEB posted that the DL for WT09 registration is tomorrow.
    "Till now 0 people have registered."
    In JEB everybody can participate. They have to turn in a clip and the best 8 will be chosen.

    In Japan every is studying for "final exams". And in Japan school is very important.


    So yeah thanks to sparking.

    So...since we have the 26th today the list is like I posted before.

    But nobody turned in a video...that's how I see it. (those 8. obv. turned in a video)

    PPP was 3rd place on WC, and I asked just for 4 spots. Even if PPP has got more than 4 good spinners, I wanted to put our the bests.

    Date: Tue, Dec 30 2008 15:14:39

    no

    KPSA has 8 spots.

    I havent spoken to Crash lately

    but this is what I have

    UPSB-4
    BRPSB-2
    PPP-4
    SWESPIN-3
    FPSB-8
    BPSC-3
    RPSC-2
    JEB-8
    KPSA-8
    PDS-4
    THAI-4
    HKPSA-4
    PSH-4
    TWPS-2
    GPC-4

    total: 64

    As you can see, it is very very tightly packed. I can only think of one team that could give a spot or two up, but they don't want to.

    Date: Wed, Dec 31 2008 00:14:02

    this is what happened with KPSA from what i know. KPSA did have 8 spots. But when they had public vote 8th, 9th, 10th all had same number of votes. so one of the mods said it was not necessarily that they have 8 spinners, so they just had 7. i think..

    if both FPSB and KPSA could free up a spot each that would help a lot because we could give 1 spot back to BPSC and 1 spot to RPSC

    UPSB-4
    BRPSB-2
    PPP-4
    SWESPIN-3
    FPSB-7
    BPSC-4
    RPSC-3
    JEB-8
    KPSA-7
    PDS-4
    THAI-4
    HKPSA-4
    PSH-4
    TWPS-2
    GPC-4

    somerthing like that.

    Masta Blasta, if a spinner from PDS win WT09, it does represent nothing fr KPSA, and it is the same if a spinner from KPSA win... If PPP decide to create 2 communities, that will just be two forum for one communitie, and logically just one list for both of them... You say it's not normal because you think it's a "glory" for a country when spinner from this country win the WT09, but it's not right, spinners are not really subdivised in country but in communities.
