BalinorNZ · Post by **BalinorNZ** » 04 Jun 2006 03:25

Hey modified,

Well due to my lack of advertising there has been an extreamly poor turn out in the open online competitions this month.

There are 4 competitiors for the open competitions as aposed to the 15 in the Novice competitions.

Therefore I will be extending the due submission date for Open online competition entrys till the 20th of this month (June).

This months open competitions will be:

Sick One

Sick Three

To enter:

Film your entry and capture the video file on your computer.

Find the video file, this file will have an extention like .wmv or .mpg or .avi or .mp4 or .mov and you will be able to watch it by double clicking on it. Please don't send in files you can't watch on your own computer.

Attach this file to an email that includes your full name, your country and the move(s) you hit and send the email to [email protected].

If you don't know weather your entry is good enough to be in the open competition here are some guidelines:
For sick one your entry should be:
A very difficult 4add or any 5add.
For sick three your entry should be:
A 4>4>4 or harder.

Thank you,
Nic Bathgate
Online Competition Director

just out of interest(not intending to compete unless you are desperate for competitors), if I did a really random combo, would it go in novice or open?

Depends. If it was like pincher set ducking pincher > pinchie butterfly > spinning flapper it would be open, if it was like heel stall > pincher > dragon it would be novice.

If you hit something and you are unsure weather it is open level then email it in, it will either be used or I will let you know it is below the level and it will be used for the next novice competitoin (provided you have no objection

).

It would be more like the first one, if I could get a camera.....

EDIT: I might already have a sick 1 vid if you need more competitors for that

I disagree with your guidelines for open/intermediate

If i hit a double illusion or a double bubba, id be shattered not to have it in open.

Or if i hit symple reaper > ss toe symple whirl > reverse swirl id be shattered too

If you were good enough to hit any of those you would know that they were good enough for open. The guidelines are for newer players who aren't used to the whole competition system yet.

I had a look and there's one pinch combo that I could send in, but I'd rather hit something a bit better.

blurry whirl isn't an open 5 add trick? Blurry whirl is harder for me than any of the 5's I've hit.

And I haven't even hit phoenix, but tricks like phoenix and blurry whirl are considered easy 5adds in general.

I have changed that boundry now anyway:

All 5adds and above are now allowed in open sick1 as well as difficult 4adds
