    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 tongue.gif

    Well yeah, we're complaining because we're no match against Vengeance. Obviously.

    But it's cool, sounds fun taking on GPC's best.

    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.

    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.

    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

    Cheer happy.gif

    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.

    but I WANT vengeance to be in sad.gif. Strongest teams here seems to be HoT and encore. But that's not enough imo sleep(1).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 sleep(1).gif

    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 smile.gif

    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 sleep(1).gif but I'm glad that all the teams signed up got in, I look forward to it :>

    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 smile.gif

    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.

    Yeah go ahead smile.gif

    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.

    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.

    I didn't know about that- I got what Frip sent me.
    Because this is a special case- I will allow to substitute you even after Frip sent me the lineups. That is if Frip sends me a substitute stating it.

    Please note that the deadline for the videos is exactly 1 week from now- 5.5 Tuesday next week.
    Don't be late in handing in your videos.
    I highly recommend handing them all in by your manager via PM to me.
    It can be a download link or a youtube link (or any other upload site), but I suggest youtube for the comfort of showing the videos.

    You had 2 weeks beforehand when the tournament was just organizing itself.
    If I see that more people require more time I will move it, but I think this is enough as I don't want this tournament to drag on forever.

  74. JC
    Date: Sun, May 3 2009 14:32:55

    when you say may 5th...what time and what time zone are you talking about? like, do they have all of may 5th to film? or has to be due at 12:00 am midnight may 5th?

  75. Thewave
    Date: Sun, May 3 2009 16:00:55

    They have all May 5th according to their own time zone.

  76. JC
    Date: Sun, May 3 2009 16:12:11

    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 ><

  77. Sadistic

  79. Thewave
    Date: Sun, May 3 2009 19:03:51

    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.

  80. AyySoLo
    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)

  81. Thewave
    Date: Tue, May 5 2009 19:14:17

    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...

  88. AyySoLo
    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...

  89. Thewave
    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...

  90. Zombo
    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...

    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...

  95. Charlie
    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. :\

  96. shoeman6
    Date: Thu, May 7 2009 01:38:34

    I don't think it's fair to the other teams to rearrange the brackets.

    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.

    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 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...

    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.

    Armageddon vs Demon Origins
    Encore vs East Coast Spinners
