First of all I want to thank all those who sent videos, it was gratifying to see so much encouragement in people. I am satisfied with the editing of the videos, but still hope to improve much next time. Also next time I'll seek help from experienced players for the correct classification of the tricks in "open" and "novice".
Posted below are links to the video for each competition, each contains all the video entrys to that competition.
Just a tip, I honestly don't even think you should split this into novice and open. All of these tricks were pretty Open level. Especially if you're calling Khoa's Pixie Zulu Eclipse "Novice" and Anton's Blurry Whirl "Open" and Cassy's Casket (Fairy ss Drifter) "Open". I counted 4 novice entries... Sorry to say it, but this system seems flawed.
I think you should get everyone to vote on placement, saying that they were all Open entries.
1. Thanks to Paulo for making this happen. The community response shows that there was clearly interest in this, but it wouldn't have happened without your efforts.
2. Thanks to everybody who submitted a video. It warmed my heart to see so many entries.
I need to rewatch the video, but I gotta say the jumprope magellan and Aleksei's breakbag really stood out for me.

Anyone agree?
I did not really decide where to put each player, I put Anton's and Cassy's tricks in Open because when they sent those tricks by email they wrote "OPEN SICK1", and I tought they wanted their tricks to be in Open, Khoa wrote "NOVICE SICK1" so I put it in novice, that's all.... I know it's not the best system, but that's what i did
Waaaay too freakin' hard to judge. Aleksei's b-boy move was really rad, Jahner's super P. DLO was fly, Anssi's Trifly made me sick, so clean, as with sir Boychuk's. I'm not even 100% on what is happening with Nick P.'s, except it's BIG, and then Marco's is pretty much my dream's dream trick.
Matt Cross' was super styley, like whoa. And then, of course, you have Mr. Bear's
