stop complaining about Vengeance not being from upsb.
more than 50% of Encore is not on upsb. But you don't make an alert because of that. Why?
Either way, I know Vengeance is way stronger than most of peeps registered here, but jeez, just have fun.
By the way. If Vengeance is in, there is 8 teams already. Let the fun begin

Well yeah, we're complaining because we're no match against Vengeance. Obviously.
But it's cool, sounds fun taking on GPC's best. -
Date: Wed, Apr 22 2009 04:46:52
Hm.. I wanted to see if some Genesis spinners wanted to tag along with me, but if Vengeance is already participating, I don't think that's necessary? =/
And yeah, if you're gonna complain about not having any chance... I don't see why you're actually in a tournament, then. I believe you should do battles to bring the best out of yourself. You make your own chances. If you say you'll get wrecked, you will. -

D: if Genesis and Vengeance are in, we may as well put them in their own separate tier and let them go at it -.- -

Competition definitely brings out the best in you. A good example is the WT.
But only a handful of the current upsb spinners in the team can stand up against Vengeance at all. And I'd gladly welcome Genesis. Genesis doesn't seem very active though. -
Date: Wed, Apr 22 2009 05:55:32
Ok, to clear things out:
1. This is a tournament for anyone who has a UPSB account (that's what I got from the previous topic and it also suits the fact that we have people not from UPSB participating but have an account)
2. I've kindle asked Minwoo to confirm this.
3. I've asked Minwoo to consider the fact that not a lot from here are WT class spinners so he might even the odds and change the lineup a bit.
If you have these rules under agreement I'll let Vengance participate, if not- I know Eriror and some other members that can form a team want to join, so it's realy all your choice. -

Ok, I just talked to Thewave a few mins ago and I totally disagree about Vengeance
They aren't UPSB Team and I don't really care if they are strong or not, I'm fine with Eriror and Genesis because atleast its still UPSB team
And I will not let my team participate this IF Vengeance still in this tournament -
Date: Wed, Apr 22 2009 09:55:25
@GSkyrunner:
I definitly understand if you dont want us to participate ... but then saying that Genisis could participate in the same sentence seems kinda weird to me ...
Isnt Donzga THPSC, etc.? I dont think all Genisis Members are FULL UPBSler but if I am wrong sorry.
Anyways if you dont want us to participate we wont cause it is a UPSB Tournament and dont want to "kick" out a truly UPSB Team. I/We know but we thought it would be fun and we are pretty all UPSB "Members"/Account Owner since a while.

I'm not talking about members from other communities in each team, I'm talking about a "team" from other communities and Genesis belongs to UPSB
Meh anyway Demon Origins is still in the tournament, I just wanted to see if I post that DGN won't participate in the tournament if team from other communities joined, what kind of feedback I'll get =/
And I hope Vengeance is the last team from other communities

Ok, seeing as this is causing a LOT of drama!!!
The tournament will be open to teams from UPSB only.
If you originate from another board- I'm sorry, but I'll make another tournament for those teams if there is demand (I can even run both projects if you want to and if there is the correspondence from enough team to participate)
Genesis can join since it's a UPSB team, but I would highly recommend taking the UPSB spinners to this tournament and not the spinners that correspond to other boards.
I am deeply sorry for the misunderstanding, but there was a discussion topic before this and it was clarified there that this will be UPSB only.
Sorry for the inconvenience.

Date: Wed, Apr 22 2009 10:32:31
but I WANT vengeance to be in
. Strongest teams here seems to be HoT and encore. But that's not enough imo .gif)
. The better teams are in tourney, the more fun there is. Why can't you all just allow Vengeance? And I told you, why aren't anyone bashing Encore? Because leader of it is UPSB? Sorry, but I haven't seen nate for a half year. Even Minwoo is more active on upsb, than nate.
Whatever. In the morning I already thought this tournament would be more fun. Why do you want to ruin it? If you even enter this tournament it means you should be prepared for losing. If you want an easy win, go to battle in ladder or something. This is meant to have fun, not to win. And I always wanted to battle some pro spinners.
Oh well. Thank you for your complains -
Date: Wed, Apr 22 2009 11:04:51
Ok.
I'm sorry for all the confusion (again >_<)
But Vengance is in with a last minute call and this tournament is closed for sign ups.\
Judges will be figured out soon and all teams have 3(!!!) days to organize their lineups and report to me if they are participating or I WILL find replacements.
Houses will the be decided on April 25th 10PM GMT+2 time.
The lottery will be done by a random person and if you'll need proof- I will post the decision method and conversation.
You will then have 1 week to produce a combo (or 2 seeing if more time is needed) Judging will last between 3-6 days.
Good luck everyone

If I may have my 2 cents on other boards fielding teams. Keep in mind that this is the UNIVERSAL penspinning board. It was intended for everyone to find a home here. I say let anyone/any team compete. I know i would lose horribly against a team like vengeance, but I would try to go out in a blaze of glory. I think it would be a lot of fun. Anyways, disagree with me if you will, but I say any team should be able to join if the people on it at least have an UPSB account
edit: sorry, i didn't see the last posts but I'm glad that all the teams signed up got in, I look forward to it :> -

I'm pretty sure most Vengeance members don't have an account, of course they can go ahead and make one... -

It seems like all the teams are participating, but I haven't received a reply from Encore team, hopefully they will in the next 2 days.
I'll explain how this tournament will work:
We are going to have 3 rounds and then a final round which will determine the winner and also 3rd and 4th place.
Each house will have 4 teams and each round will consist of 2 single combos and 1 double.
Now the tag will work as following:
Each round you'll be up against another team with the double, so in the end- you'll battle against each team with 1 tag combo.
The first and second round double will be randomized and the third will be what is left.
Important!!! You can only use 1 tag team in each part of the tournament!!! Meaning- if you put Participant number 1 with number 2 for the first tag, those two cannot be used again together for a tag video. You can use one of them again but with another partner. This is to give the tournament something interesting
The solo combos will be against the rest of the teams which you do not have to produce a tag against them.
If there are any question- feel free to ask. -

oh, if we had to re-reply, ECS is still in this tournament. The whole double clip thing should be interesting :>
-
Date: Thu, Apr 23 2009 17:21:05
I just want to confirm that the teams that signed are still in this, as it's been a while since then.
-
Date: Fri, Apr 24 2009 02:36:41
Yeah go ahead
and umm just to put my thoughts to public... I made the UPSB team tournament as a testing phase/round of a bigger tournament. -> World team league. In that teams from ALL over the world would participate in different divisions. But I can't organize that. lol -
Date: Fri, Apr 24 2009 10:47:04
I won't be here for the next day, therefor all updates will be given on the day I return and the tournament will start then.
Organize your teams and be prepared -
Date: Fri, Apr 24 2009 17:33:18
with a loser bracket i see no problem with vengeance getting in,
because even if you lose against them, you can continue to participate and battle with other teams closer to your level
the importance of participating is for the experience, and having loser bracket will ensure nobody exits the tournamnet early because they fought someone out of their range. -

only call it consolation round or bracket, cuz loser bracket is like, D: if you get what i mean xD

it just so happens to work out everyone in my team this round is in the same time zone, but what if next round, one person is from the east coast and another person on my team is on the west coast? then i would hand it to you based on the west coast's time zone because that would be the last set of vids that i would be getting...but doesn't that give the east coast 3 extra hours to film =\? i dunno if you get what i mean ><

JC, when is the last time that someone was actually excluded from a tournament round for having their video late?
-
Date: Sun, May 3 2009 18:32:42
i dunno ^^"? i just have issues
-

All things considered- people still have the same amount of time to film.
No one has more time because he is in a different time zone.
Don't forget that when he is sleeping and not practicing someone else is filming, and that also applies the other way around.
So handing in your videos 3 hours after everyone isn't realy a bid deal, since I'll upload them by my standard time anyway. -
Date: Sun, May 3 2009 22:29:29
it's not like 3 more hours can make a HUGEASS difference anyways
only thing is make sure they don't see opponent's video before they film (unless the opponent doesn't care and just post it on up) -
Date: Tue, May 5 2009 19:14:17
Deadline is the end of the day by your time zone!
Please send them in
Not sending a video will result in an automatic win for the team against you. -
Date: Wed, May 6 2009 03:14:46
What if two teams both don't have their videos in. is it a loss for both teams?
-
Date: Wed, May 6 2009 13:58:53
aehm yes, deadline is over^^ where are the videos?
-
Date: Wed, May 6 2009 17:26:31
Yes, just a sec. I'm thinking about what to do as there are 7 vids missing, 4 from Encore...

It's not that easy- my design for this tournament works so that there are 4 teams in each bracket, if there is 1-2 missing vids it's not such of a big deal. But when a whole team doesn't submit- this is troublesome... -
Date: Wed, May 6 2009 20:00:36
Group B encore and ECS both didn't hand in anything, the only video from ECS is Pencell, and it is some DDR video...
btw, you entered BaiMai(DGN)'s video link wrong i think, -
Date: Wed, May 6 2009 20:13:56
I'll think over it and give you an official answer tomorrow.
If by then some miracle happens and Encore and ECS turn in their vids- I might continue this.
But till then- nothing is sure, I might cancel this tournament and open a new one. I might continue with this with some changes, I don't know, blame ECS and Encore for this screw up... -
Date: Wed, May 6 2009 22:28:53
to be honest you gave 1 week for ppl to submit vids, i dunno how you could possibly imagine it would go well with such a short period. usually I'm very quick to point out people that don't respect deadlines, but only if those deadlines are even feasible.
it probably takes 1 week for the leader to gather all videos ALONE, never mind filming.
world cup gave 3 weeks for submitting and filming vids...
unless you're planning on using the good ol' method of "setting a deadline early, and expecting them 1 week later" -

Hey I handed mine in. IAmTheMrGuy must be busy or something... Don't blame the whole team. Every team that aren't invite only has at least a couple active members as well as inactive ones.
Yet another tourney ruined by the procrastinators of this hobby. If you were truly busy, plz at least say so. Otherwise gtfoktnx. -
Date: Wed, May 6 2009 22:34:35
i think it was reasonable because the planning took so long, he said he was going to have longer deadlines for the other rounds

I don't think anyone actually thought of filming before line ups were announced though. -
Date: Wed, May 6 2009 23:20:52
A deadline is a deadline, many teams got their videos in on time so you cant say that it was to short...
I think that the people who didn't send videos in on time should just receive a -1 to their wins... -
Date: Thu, May 7 2009 00:54:54
Geez, well I'm hoping at least a few more turn in their vids. This really does screw up things.
You can try rearranging the matches with encore and such out of the picture? I think group B would have an odd number of spinners though. :\ -
Date: Thu, May 7 2009 01:38:34
I don't think it's fair to the other teams to rearrange the brackets.
I think the most fair way to resolve this is to just penalize all of those who didn't turn in vids on time with a losses. -

So, auto wins for the opponents? Will encore turn in any vids next round? :| -
Date: Thu, May 7 2009 05:21:21
The tournament will go on.
And Zombo- your point isn't relevant because if the deadline was as you say too soon- they could've told me and as I said a few posts above- I will postpone it in case.
But what worries me is that no one from Encore contacted me via MSN or PM any time throughout the week.
So I will NOT rearrange the brackets, the judges will have less videos and next round will have 2 weeks of filming including the 1 week of judging.
So all the judges will receive confirmation that they can judge the videos. Hopefully next round will be better.
But again- this is not my fault nor a short deadline fault, if you can't make the deadline- talk to me! Send me a PM and I'll move it. -
Date: Thu, May 7 2009 06:35:30
So, those against unsent vids get auto wins?
-
Date: Thu, May 7 2009 12:00:38
Maybe they wouldn't receive auto wins, just the teams who didn't send in videos would receive -1 wins...
-
Date: Thu, May 7 2009 12:13:33
and that means an instant loss for those, who DID send their vids, because they don't get their point? Forget it
-
Date: Thu, May 7 2009 12:26:54
WOOHOO!! ECS IS OFF TO A GREAT START with the BEST possible score of zero~

and I passed yours on to Thewave, but the rest of the team cannot submit, so I cannot use mine. I vote for extending the deadline. I had to have bleeding ulcers to get mine done considering how busy I've been -
Date: Thu, May 7 2009 14:28:40
yeah, and extending deadline of course works too, when opponents saw the vids of those, who sent their vids in time
-
Date: Thu, May 7 2009 20:26:01
extending deadlines isn't an option in my opinion, unless it comes with some kind of penalty.
Like letting the people who did turn in vids on time also get the opportunity to make another combo, and lets say, a 7 percent deduction to the score every day of those people who submit late, if they don't submit at all the deduction would come from their teammates videos... -

Agreed. What's the point of setting a deadline otherwise... -
Date: Thu, May 7 2009 21:32:51
And also taking into account it is a TEAM tournament I think the whole team should be penalized for each video submitted late or not on time...
-
Date: Fri, May 8 2009 05:55:15
It'd be nice if the vids were uploaded to youtube. And maybe start a new thread for the vids. Just so it could get more attention.
-

When are next matches lineups comin out

I thought the video's deserved some honorable mentions.
Go Baaron and Tomo. That's one win for HoT. I like your lighting Baaron, the spotlight effect looks great. Really pro-looking.
Neophine's fps sucked, but it was a nice combo. I like how neophine's spinning has attitude. And stephen's combos always feel spammy to me. Dont' like it.
Sadi's wipers are getting pretty pro. I was expecting more Ippei-like wipers though.
And K2 wasn't bad. I liked his smoothness and the combo structure was pretty well done. Style is underdeveloped though.
Shadow and Mhig's battle's a tough decision. Both are short. Shadow's highlight is the twisted cobra bite and mhig's was the aerial and midbaks. Both have very developed styles.
Elu, your pen is too long. :|
Jopi's spinning was very minwoo-ish. Was he the one who helped minwoo with some of his transfer ideas?
Stormcannon, that pause was odd. Okay combo besides that. Excessive palmspins in the beginning though.
Xyzaki's and awesome's transition was nice. Made me smile.
Raemi's 1p2h skill was surprising. *props*
Pencell didn't use his cat. -1 Cat > YOU
Vengeance's team banner is the ish.
Nice combo awonw. Looked good. You're getting much better. Odd transitions though. -

Because it is. when a pen is too long, it distorts your style and it simply doesn't look as good. You want pen that's as long as your hand or just a bit longer for optimal performance. -

I'm sorry I haven't posted the teams yesterday but I barely had time and when I did I had to study.
Here are the lineups for tag combos in round 2.
Round 2 Tag combo:
Zero to Hero vs Vengeance
Heroes of tomorrow vs ???? ps. (Unified Path)
Armageddon vs Demon Origins
Encore vs East Coast Spinners
Against every other team in your bracket the battle is a single combo.
Lineups are due at 14.5
Deadline for videos is 24.5 -
Date: Sat, May 9 2009 14:53:56

Results will come out soon, but in order to give more time to practice and plan for the next round- the lineups have been published sooner. -
Date: Wed, May 13 2009 20:46:04
Can't wait for the results...

Sorry, I rofled really hard when I saw ECS vs. Encore.
Can't you just eliminate them for poor video turn in rates? -

I dont think thatd work itd mess up the brackets..

we completed every video except one, it just happened that one of the videos was in a tag, so we couldn't continue the tag, we still submitted more than Encore -

Results should be out today, waiting for 2 judges... 1 is actually done except 1 vid.
Also- this is the final day for the lineups. -

shouldn't we get to see our results before we submit our lineups? the results are sort of essential to even having us decide our own lineups.... -
