So most Aussies (in Ausclan) know this already, but for the ones who are not in Ausclan, neoknux_009 and I are organising a tourney for Aussies.
Online Australian Pen Spinning Tournament - 2009
What: Double elimination knock out.
When: Starting February 1st
Why: To determine the seed rankings in Australia and to improve the Australian scene.
Who: Any Australian who wishes to participate.
Official Judges:- Eriror
- Rarka
- Tek
*thanks for yam for asking/attaining the judges
Rules:- Time limit is 15 - 30 seconds.
- A pen/pencil must be spun (e.g. not a drumstick), but other materials can also be used in the video (e.g. desk)
Double Elimination Knock out Explanation:
Basically, everyone will get 2 lives. If you lose a round, then you go to the secondary corner. Once the player who didn't lose is determined , the secondary corner begins.
So now we let everyone in the secondary corner begin. However, the people who got further, upper tiers, will get to verse the people who didn't get further. That is, if a person got to the 2nd to last round in the primary corner, they will most likely verse someone who lost in the 1st round of the primary corner. Why?
Seed rankings. We want an accurate description of the spinners in Australia. Not just 1st, but 2nd, 3rd, etc.
I'll trust the judges to decide the ordering of the 2nd "corner". The 1st should be completely randomly generated.
So then the person who wins in the secondary will most likely be second best. However, the person must beat the person who won in the primary corner twice, as he/she still has 2 lives.
Simplified explanation of the battle system:
This system allows for each player to have a second chance if they lose a first time. You are out of the tournament when you lose twice. The tourney starts off with one bracket. After round one is complete, the winners remain in the first bracket (winner's bracket), but the losers go into a new bracket (loser's bracket). After every round, the losers in the winner's bracket enter the loser's bracket and the losers in the loser's bracket are eliminated.
