That's really awesome. Some cool combos were thought up.

It's amazing how quiet Sumo>Reactor was from Johnny.

That was a lot of fun indeed!

Ianek, thank you for the video, it brings back many bright memories! ! !

It's mostly me, Seb D and Mathieu G that choose the links.

And it is the most fun and exciting sideline event ever!

We will have it at Euros and Worlds. And US Open crew might do it.

Wow, cool contest. I hope they do it at USO.

Thanks Ianek!!

It might be cool to pre-release (to possible competitors) a list of combos that would be possible for each round (as it was clearly a more rounds = higher difficulty format), and then do a 'pick out of the hat' selection process at the event. Would be a fun way to allow competitors to "study" a teense (and heighten the competition), but still have a lot of surprise factor at the event. This close to events, learning all possible combos would be really hard (and hey, if someone does it, that's good for their game and the sport anyways!)

edit: One more idea.. At the event, players could volunteer additional combos that would be thrown in as wild cards to spice up the pre-submitted list.. say, 5 wildcards thrown in here and there or something.

Cool concept! Fun to watch vid too!

Wow that looked way to easy for Johnny. His pace and timing on the links looked almost like he was doing different links than everyone else. Smooth!

Right at the start you can see me sleeping

But of course all the cheering woke me up was totally worth it.

But this was so fun to watch, and a lot of players liked it! I can not wait to see more of request!

...I can't do any of round 6 or 7, but 8 is easy.
