Advice for worlds attendees

Post by Laroche »

I have some advice i almost forgot to give out: Whatever kind of bag you use, practice with the OPPOSITE kind of bag for 1 month prior to worlds. That is, if you use sandbags normally, play with a 32 EXCLUSIVELY, and vice-versa.

I got screwed over last year in prague by having played 99% of the time with sand-bags, and having to use 32 pannel bags. I played like garbage the entire week because i was so unused to them, and it was a drag for me, so.....

Good advice that I never thought of. I played with a 32 the other day and I couldnt even hit my staples.

So yeah, I guess I will skool with a 32 for a few weeks!
Thanks!

I pride myself on being able to play with both a sandbag and a 32. I use both during the run of a weeks practice session.

Good advice though.

Somewhere on Modified there's a post about ettique when recording videos, too.

Be sure to look that one up.

Some of the things there...

Keep back from the circles when filming.
Ask the players permission before filming them (some people are camera shy and won't appreciate you sticking a camera in their face when they're trying to bust big).

There are plenty more, but I can't remember them. Just use your common sence (if you have any). When in doubt... don't.
Comment in the BCS blog if you feel the need to.

very good advice. good thing you mentioned this.
I almost always shred with a 32, and then at a recent tournament I had to shred with a Mr. Sandbag during competition and it definitely was different from what im used to
