Best Tricks Contest
Statement of purpose: everyone likes big and impressive stuff and it will remains like that forever. Since “Sick 1/3” existed, it never really had a defined methodology. So i tried to give a complete structure to the “sick” competition format.
Overview: Players have a few tries to land their best tricks. Judges score difficulty,variety and execution of the landed attempt. The best score wins.
Categories:
- Best trick
- Best bs trick
- Best link
- Best bs link
- Best 3
- Best drill-4
- Best drill-6
(drill = A-B-A-B, A-B-C-A-B-C)
(bs = both side)
How it works:
-organizer chooses what categories he wants to do.
-for each categories:
-players gives 3 tricks to judges before competition starts.
-judges gives a difficulty and variety score before competition starts (subjective).
-players goes one by one on stage.
-players have max 1 minute/trick.
-Mc announces the tricks.
-players have 3 tries/trick (for BS, 3 tries/side)
-judges raises one hand when they consider an attempt not “clean”.
-players can use extra tries to improve execution mark.
- if so, they raises one hand to show they will attemp the same move again.
-judges gives execution score for all landed tricks. (subjective)
-judges add execution, difficulty and variety score to give final score/trick.
-judges keep 1 trick/player for final ranking. (highest score)
Overall Best tricks winner: add rankings of all categories, lowest number wins competition. (Ties are possible)
Judging guideline:
Judges are looking for:
Best trick (difficult move)
Best bs trick (difficult move)
Best link (difficult link)
Best bs link (difficult link)
Best 3 (difficult moves and links + variety of moves and links)
Best drill-4 (difficult moves and links)
Best drill-6 (difficult moves and links + variety of moves and links)
-Note that variety score is only for Best 3 and Best Drill-6.
-Note that difficulty of Best Link is only about the link itself and not moves.
-Note that judging is all subjective.
Execution:
-Cleanliness
-Straight set
-Smooth timing
-Good balance and posture
-Controlled Seal (handcatch is ok)
Difficulty:
-momentum change
-momentum stop
-small window dex
-small window stall
-blind components
-support foot translation
-jump (symposium)
-hight of set
-degree of dex
-unusual body position
-etc.
Variety:
-wide range of moves (components)
-wide range of links
-the use of both side
-balance between toes and clippers
Scoring system:
0-none
1-poor
2-below average
3-average (good)
4-above average
5-very good
6-perfect
Other info:
-3 judges
-Judges uses specific judging sheet.
-1 mc to call players and tricks.
-rounds: it’s possible to have pools or qualification rounds.
-stage dimension : 10 feet diameter area.
-seeding : last seeded goes first, first seeded goes last.
So this is what i came up with, but like Circle contest, we need to test it to see what's good and what needs to be adjusted.
I'll try to have a downloadable version soon (with judging sheet).
I will run a Best tricks contest for the first time next week at MSJ2 (Montreal).
