    Hello.

    You can join now!
    The IPSL Board
    Join here!






    We (Kieto from GPC, i don´t know if he´s also sign up in UPSB; Pen_MAKer and me), are planing an International PenSpinning League. That is the momentally Homepage about that "Tournament", but we´re going to make one better, that´s just a Homepage unprofessionally.

    So, at first: I´m not from American, so please excuse my bad English^^. If u don´t understand anything, u can add me in MSN/ICQ, write me a PM or reply here.

    The IPSL (International PenSpinning League) will be a league, wich works like a football-league. So: For every won battle u get 2 points, for every lost 0 points.

    There should be more than just one league. We thought that in every league are coming 10 persons, not more. If u are in the second league, but at the end of a season u are the first one, u come into the first.

    So. I don´t know how to formally write it, so i write it now in a Q&A Form:


    Q: Are there any prizes?
    A: Not 100% sure at the moment, but we are looking for a Sponsor. If that League will getting popular, i think that we will be able to get one ;-) .

    Q: How much does it costs to sign-in?
    A: It is free.

    Q: Who can Sign-in?
    A: Everybody can sign in. But he must have the time to make every week one video for a Clipbattle.

    Q: Were can i Sign-In?
    A: U can send us an e-mail to me ([email protected]) and then, i´ll write the names in this thread down, who signed-in. If you have signed-in before 2 or more days, but your name isn´t here in the Signed-in list, please send me ore one of the other organizers an PM or write it into this thread.

    Q: How long will 1 season be?
    A: One season will be 2 1/2 Months, so 5 weeks. Per 2 Member in one league the season will take 1 week.

    Q: Is there any break between the seasons?
    A: Yes. After every Season, there is a brek of 2 weeks.

    Q: How to battle?
    A: The battles will be battled as Clipbattles, i think here in UPSB that is a normal battle.

    Q: How to say "that ones get the 2 points"?
    A: That will be voted. The voting will be open for 4 days. After that, the guy with the most votes wins the battle. For every battle there will be a thread. For every league there will be an Area (like her "News", "Battlezone" and so on).

    Q: Were will the Threads be?
    A: Not at UPSB. Not, because we don´t like the UPSB or want to make a board wich is better^^. It will be in a board wich is specially for that tournament.

    Q: When will it start?
    A: It will start after the World Cup.

    Q: Why are u writing this down here, when u are still planing?
    A: Because we want to have a feedback of you all!!! What can we make better? And something like this.

    Qualification Round

    THE QUALIFICATION ROUND

    Everybody comes into a group. If he sign-in in the IPSL, he must tell us how long he spins.
    Then we are making the groupes like that:

    In every groupe comes sbd. who spins <3Month.
    In every groupe comes sbd. who spins 3-5 Month.
    In every groupe comes sbd. who spins 5-8 Month.
    In every groupe comes sbd. who spins 8-12 Month.
    In every groupe comes sbd. who spins >12 Month.

    Then battled everybody versus everybody, so at the end everybody has battled 4 times.The
    rule is: for every win the winner gets 2 points, for a lost match 0 points.

    At the end, the first one of every groupe comes into the first league, the second one of
    every groupe into the second league and so on.


    If u have questions:

    Kieto: MSN/E-Mail: [email protected]
    deMaddin: MSN/E-Mail: [email protected] ICQ: 396033406
    Pen_MAKer: MSN/E-Mail: [email protected]


    Please give us a Feedback!!! We´re still planing, but it isn´t 100% sure, that the league will be, but it is very sure.


    I´ll write more down tomorrow, i´ll go now. Till then, Pen_MAKer will give u some news wink.gif .

    I hope u enjoy!

    'Prises' and 'Prices' are spelled with Z's. Prizes.


    Prizes as in when you win something.

    But Prices are how much something costs.

    Every week? That is a little steep. Make like every two weeks or a little bit less than that.

  12. Mats
    Date: Wed, Feb 6 2008 23:54:26

    Every week is very steep. I ran a league on UCPSB with videos to be submitted every 2 or so weeks and the number of videos turned in was quite low. Also, combo quality may suffer if the deadline is 1 combo/week, however, if the number of spinners is very large, close deadlines might have to be used. Don't expect to ever have a week in which everyone turns in their videos except maybe the first and perhaps second weeks. I suggest that if you know a spinner is unreliable for turning in videos for battles/collabs already, you do not allow them even into the qualification round.

    All the battles will be one vs one? How many people were you thinking of having in the league? Will every spinner battle every other one? Will there be a play-off or play-offs? Why is it not public voting?

    @Mats: 1. Yes, all battles will be one vs. one.
    2. We have than different league: in every league are 10 Persons. We´re still thinking of 5 leagues. If they are more interested Users, we have a "special" plan wink.gif .
    3. Yes, every spinner will battle every other one in his league. But if we don´t battle every week (i must discuss that with the others), maybe not...
    4. There IS public voting wink.gif . Just not for the qualification round.

    @Onyx-07: No. One season doesn´t take one year. Because after one year you are so much better than before... One season takes, we planned, 2 1/2 Months, so 5 weeks.

  15. Thewave
    Date: Fri, Feb 8 2008 17:03:20

    Maybe you should also do leagues that vary according to spinning time, as I've seen you can put a spinner like Sfsr vs someone who has just started and it wouldn't be that fair.
    So maybe 1 group for 3-6 months, 1 group for 6 months-1 year and 1 group of 1 year+
    Of course these are only examples but I think that dividing according to spinning time is reasonable.

  16. Mats
    Date: Fri, Feb 8 2008 17:50:57

    I would suggest not time, but skill. Spinners of similar ability should be in the same league...

    Length of time spinning is not proportional to amount of skill.

  17. deMaddin
    Date: Fri, Feb 8 2008 19:48:19

    hm... do u mean the qualification round?

    Because in the leagues THEN they are sort by their spinning, how good they spin wink.gif .

    Hm... The problem in the qualification round is:

    Imagine:

    We have 10 Groupes.

    in 2 Groupes= PenSpinner <3 Month
    in 3 Groupes= PenSpinner 3-6 Month
    in 3 Groupes= PenSpinner 6-9 Month
    in 2 Groupes= PenSpinner >9 Month

    So. Then:

    Everybody who tackes the first position comes into the first league, who takes the second position cames into the second league and so on.

    Then:

    In the first league battled somebody, who just spinned <3Month vs. somebody who spinned >9 Month. That´s it.

    But:

    If u sign-in, u must say since when u spin (i must update that^^). Then we take in every group (if it is aviable) one who spins >9Month, 1 6-9 Month, 2 3-6 Month and 1 <3 Month. So, that the leagues at the end are fair. The qualification round will be hard, but at the end I think it is batter like that, because if we do it like u says, the league will be VERY hard!

    like sports, there should be different tiers or divisions

    a judge/someone with significant experience can assign each participant into their respective division

    It lasts for four months, so probably April-May.

    And, how could you say World Cup is unofficial? It has a sponsor, and is represented by many of the top spinners in the world. dry.gif

    Hm... We wanted to make the deadline after the World Cup has ended, but i think, if the world cup takes 4 months, we´ll make it before that^^.

    But we must discuss that. I think in (at least) 1 Month.

  29. Erirornal K.
    Date: Sat, Feb 23 2008 23:07:19

    Why make the deadline before the World Cup [which is official...] ended? That wouldn't be fair for the 60 spinners who are in it.

  30. PenSpinnerMX
    Date: Sat, Feb 23 2008 23:31:11

    hm...

    yeah, we must discuss that. Maybe we find a rule, that we can start it before the world cup ended, and it will be fair for them.

    And sorry one more time, i really i thought I´ve read that it was unofficiell...

    The standard-language of the board is now English.

    actually, we have got 4 registered Members in IPSL.

    But i think, we need at least 20 Members to start.

    We are discussing when it will start, but it is sure that we need at least 20 Members before the IPSL is abel to start.

  56. CrAsH
    Date: Sun, Apr 6 2008 00:15:14

    Hi Guys,

    Hmm, myself and zombo had an idea to make a international spinning league some time ago, which we have been discussing about trying to implement in the near future. When you say international, it must be like international not just anyone putting in their names, you need to have people from all countries participating. Also. having an infinate amount of spinners partici[ating would be pretty much impossible in terms of judging, judges wouldn't possibly have time to score every single video from every single participant, the number would have to be fixed, like a maximum of 15 from each board or something, and make sure each spinner has battles with each other spinner in the duration of the league.

    We've been thinking about how to organizing it, because something like this would need a lot of preperation. When we have something more concrete we will post up some more information, but firstly this world cup needs to be finished, then we can start organizing the league and the tournament 09 in the end of this year ready for the beginning of 09.

    Take care

    Hm okay, I´m very sadly about it that this cannot be my project but okay.

    I´ve thought at all and I agree that they want to make this big project, no problem, just sadly...
    BUT: My Idee was, that there won´t be any judges. The battles will be voted wink.gif .

Also. having an infinate amount of spinners partici[ating would be pretty much impossible in terms of judging, judges wouldn't possibly have time to score every single video from every single participant, the number would have to be fixed, like a maximum of 15 from each board or something, and make sure each spinner has battles with each other spinner in the duration of the league.

    We've been thinking about how to organizing it, because something like this would need a lot of preperation. When we have something more concrete we will post up some more information, but firstly this world cup needs to be finished, then we can start organizing the league and the tournament 09 in the end of this year ready for the beginning of 09.

    Take care


    we'll hold u to it wink.gif
