    Pm me with video links


    Note for those not currently in PSL: Sorry if you didn't happen to get in this time, I had tons of applicants, I'm really glad so many people were interested.

    I am considering running a secondary league on top of this one, but i want to let this get a round or 2 in before I do anything like that.


    Good luck everyone, and hope for a successful season biggrin.gif

    lol yeah like i said, i was surprised by the interest by so many advanced spinners, so i decided to just make it a league of anybody who thought they fit the skill level

    this first season is meant to be short, and a trial, after this season i'd definitely like to see you in it, i think you fit the skill level really well smile.gif


    somewhat of a ramble:

    what i'm thinking for next season is to model it somewhat like the english premiere league for soccer.

    basically, i'd run the PSL, with the same spinners all season, and also have a minor league, or intermediate league, running at the same time.

    at the end of the season, the two people at the bottom of the PSL get dropped to the IPSL, and the two people at the top of the IPSL get promoted to the regular PSL

    this would work well for the spinners too because if someone want's to drop out this accounts for that

    it would work well for short seasons, so everything stays rather fluid and dynamic, the spinners in the PSL change every couple of months or so

    but, interest has to stay this high for that to work, so we'll see

    eh i would have done it alternating weeks

    2 battles per week, the 2 other battles the next week

    spread out is better, that way there is constant interest

    by one week exactly which can be avoided if the last round has all 4 vids at same time

    no, that's only true if I were going to give 2 weeks per round, which I wasn't planning on doing

    2 weeks including judging?

    1st round

    week 1

    1A and 1B submits

    week 2

    1C and 1D submits
    1A and 1B results

    week 3

    2A and 2B submits
    1C and 1D results

    week 4

    2C and 2D submits
    2A and 2B results

    yes thats means some spinners will have to make videos on consecutive weeks

    I agree with Zombo, I think It's best to spread it out that way so that'll be a more consistan interest in the league. By the way, Strat if this were like the EPL, what if someone were to back out, Would someone be pushed up from the IPSL to the PSL or a new guy joins? What if that person wants to come back in??

    fixtures are preset, there's no reason to have filming and judging times be different

    Edit: @hippo, if someine backs out they have to earn their way back in by being in the top 2 of ipsl, can't just automatically be back in

    what does even that mean?

    how can you judge videos that are not even released yet?

    what you're suggesting is that judging starts now, when videos are not handed in... thats what it would be mean for judging and filming times to be the same.

    I'm on my phone atm I can explain more later if I need to but it's not that complex ..

    on the 17th everyone turns in videos, judging begins. On the 24th they turn in new videos, judging from week 1 closes, judging for week 2 begins. Simple.

    the times aren't set in stone though, I might do 10 days instead of 1 week, but either way judging and fiming don't need their own week

  18. Hippo2626
    Date: Fri, Apr 9 2010 06:35:14

    How about people who drop out? How will you comansate?

    alright if the turn out is that fast then it doesnt matter

    still good luck turning videos 8 weeks in a row, that would take some remarkable stamina and concentration to do

    As I said, I gave 10 days for this first battle, I'll probably be alternating between saturday and wednesday due dates, so they have ~10 days for each battle

    Also, I PM'd every member at least twice to verify that they were committed to making 7 videos on a weekly basis, and they all said they could

    REMINDER: Videos for R1 are due in 5 days, on the 17th.

    If you weren't going to already, it might be a good idea to PM everyone with a reminder, since some may not check this thread often.

    Tried this before and it failed. It was a bit larger scale than this though. Will be interesting to see if this works. My thoughts are, small scale, this can work, larger scale, certainly didn't work then and won't work now.
