Alright, I'll try and either cop my parents camera or my girlfriend's camera. I'll hopefully be able to do it sometime this week after school
Cool. I look forward to this.

Do you think you should have more than one take? Like if one were to start with two really bad strings, should they start over? Or are we doing this more like a "Stephen Barnes 5 runs"

Well what would you prefer? Since it's our battle, we should be doing the same thing. I like the idea of taking a shot that you're happy with. There's bound to be bad runs in it, but it ensures at least a decent first string.

What do you think?

Steven Barnes style is more like real competition. That's why I like it...

Actually, I agree with Ben. It makes more sense for it to be one run. Mine will probably turn out the same either way, anyway.

I'm gonna shoot mine right now, and PM you about when to put this up.

It's a little late, but I was gonna make the Ben Battle thread now; however, I have not yet recieved Ben Skaggs' entry. How long should I wait? If I don't hear from anyone, I'll post it as Ben Rea vs Ben Roscoe battle tomorrow morning after 9am. If this is not how you want it done, lemme know.

Awesome. It's going out. I had an extraordinarily good first string, but mine too went downhill. The topic is going up now.

I think the issue of drops should be discussed.

It makes sense to me for it to be done the way they do in circles. If you drop on your first trick, you can try again. If you need a lot of reserves, that takes away from your appeal (as the Danny VS John hack off, proves; Sam voted for Danny because of John's drops). So it's still bad, but not going to murder your whole entry.

Past the first trick (ie: if you make a controled set after the catch from your first trick) it should count as a string.

This is my oppinion. Anyone object?
(Obviously, these rules can be altered by the players when they're setting up the Hack Off. I'm just thinking that there should be a standard in place; ie, unless specific changes are made, these standard rules are assumed to be in place.)

You're all gay. I invented hack offs so I am really cool, even though I'm not as good at footbag as ya'll. I think Ben Roscoe has a woman's body, but is a nice person.
