World Cup '10 Qualifications Information

According to Zombo on UPSB:

So I've talked to Crash and we've set the final details on the WC10 qualifications!

The website will be up next week.

1. Qualification stage

The qualification stage is designed to determine the top 8 teams who will take part of the main event. It consists of a collab battle.

1.1 Collab battle

Each community registered will have to produce a collab. Each collab will then be published publicly simultaneously. The collabs will then be ranked and the communities of the top 8 collabs will advance to the main event.

1.1.1 Collab specifications

The collab should contain:
1- 6-10 videos from 6-10 spinners (one video per spinner) from the community.
2- Each video should have a minimum length of 10 seconds, maximum length of 25 seconds.
3- The maximum length of the collab is 4 minutes, including the introduction and credits.
4- The collab should be edited by someone from the same community.
5- The collab should include an introduction and credits.
6- You cannot alter the speed of the videos (speed up or slow down).

It is important to note that the spinners in the collab do not necessarily have to be the same spinners that will be in the team for the main event.

1.1.2 Collab objective

The collabs will be watched by pen spinners all around the world. Each community’s objective with the collab is to showcase its local talent and prove to the world that they have enough talent to deserve a spot in the main event. Each community needs to make a collab which will impress people and make the audience want to see them take part in the World Cup.

The collab can be seen as an answer to the question “Why does your team deserve to participate in the World Cup?”

The qualifications are comparable to cities making a presentation to convince the IOC that they are the best candidate for the next Olympics.

1.2 Collab judging

All the collabs are revealed publicly. Each community must then decide how they will rank collabs from the other communities. The suggested method is to form a committee of trustworthy members from the board. Each community will then designate a spokesperson for the community who will send the decision of the community to the competition organizers.

Each community then needs to come up with an ordered ranking of the top 8 collabs, excluding their own. The ranking should be justified by a comment and defensible.

The collabs should be judged based on the objective above (1.1.2). While evaluating the collabs, the judges should ask the following questions:

1- Which collab impressed me more?
2- Who deserves a spot in the World Cup?
3- Who has shown they have the necessary talent to form a team for the World Cup?

The focus should be on the combos itself. Editing should be factor only to break a tie, if necessary.

The rankings are collected from each community and published publicly.

Each team then scores point for the rank on each list it appears. The points are distributed as follow:

1st place 10 pts
2nd place 8 pts
3rd place 6 pts
4th place 5 pts
5th place 4 pts
6th place 3 pts
7th place 2 pts
8th place 1 pt

Summing points will produce the final rankings for the teams. The top 8 teams are qualified to the main event.

1.3 Schedule

Communities will need to confirm their participation to the qualification event. You can either post this confirmation in this thread or send a PM to Zombo or an e-mail to Crash.

The deadline for sending the collab is November 7th, 2009.
The results will be revealed November 28th, 2009.

The month of December can then be used to split ties if necessary and allow enough time for communities to prepare their teams. However, it is recommended that communities select their team even before the results of the qualifications are revealed if they need more time to make that decision.

So, we doing this, or what?
