I'm not really sure what you mean by "rank." Do you mean like "novice, intermediate, open?" If so, definitely novice, but those are just guidelines really. Some people worry about where they should compete, but it doesn't really make much difference. Coming last place in a higher division will get you way more real respect than finishing higher up in an easier division. I think the best people in footbag are people who challenge themselves as much as possible, rather than worrying how much gap there is between them and the better people.

if he was tiltless he would need to hit 15-20 tiltless moves in a string.

I don't think there are clear rules for each term like that. Hitting 1 2 add is "tiltless." I can hit well over 20 tripless, but most of the time I don't. Am I a "tripless" player or a guiltless player? Sometimes I don't even play guiltless.

I think those terms; tiltless, guiltless etc. refer to what you're actually doing, not to people. You can say that a particular run is guiltless, but you can't say that a particular person is; only that they're capable of guiltless runs. Apart from Chas Licciardello. That guy has no shame.

I think you are 1027th in the world.

The way it was put to me was like this:

If your run/combo/string begins and ends with an add count of 2, with nothing less than 2 being hit inbetween, then you performed a tiltless run/combo/string.

Any inital stall counts!!!

Same for guiltless, tiltless, fearless, etc...

I don't totally agree with this because by this logic you would have to hit a 5 add from a kick to start a TRUE fearless run. And who does that???

I'm not saying it can't be done - but a good bit of big add moves start with a clipper, which is a 2 add move.

When I practice at home I have my wife count contacts and I tell her to only start counting after the first 3 add move. I play mostly guiltless.

But like Jeremy said, I sometimes just hit whatever and go for like 100 contacts so ... it doesn't really matter.

That's true.

1027thish best in the world.

But you'd better step up from Beginner into intermediate, you might be almost intermediate.

How fun are the tricks?

By normal human standards I'd say you and I are tied because we are what is called "really really good at hackysack". Bravo! Keep it up.
