BPS "Showdown" - PRIZES

[Beemer]

Just waiting on my new empire-b this weekend... I should be able to get a video on saturday...

oops no cash for you

A lot of people have guaranteed videos and a lot of them haven't come through.

Ya Blaze never put up but he can do 16 17 so he says

The contest ran over a month, its now just tidying up the final standings (which will be easy and Ill finish this weekend). I don't think there is a need to extend it fruther

[Arstron]

well my field wasn't open so I couldn't get no air, but that's fine I didn't care about the moneyanyway, I just want to see how fast my gun is now. it was a great contest, I can't belive you didn't have more entries.

I read the first page and skipped to the end, so if I missed something obvious, sorry

Is the contest still going? If so, I will hopefully have an entry by the end of the weekend. Just got my M'ed E-Mag back from tuna, so gonna see what it can do. Any ideas what format would save the most storage space, but not hinder quality enough to make the bps questionable? Thanks in advance.


(By the way I love you Tunaman)

I have modified the first post and put up final standings

1) 68MagOwner - 15.8 balls per second
2) DRG 13.8 balls per second
3) DJ89 13 balls per second
4) MonsterMag 12.5 balls per second
5) Jeneral Jam - 12 balls per second
6) AGD Lover - 8.3 balls per second

There was some question over some videos, let it be known that I spent a lot of time considering them, watching them over and over, and talking to the judges and promotors about them. I made a decision based on what I could see in the videos, based on conversations with the entrants, and considerations of those. I am sure that I could not make a decision that would please everyone.

Overall, I'm a little dissapointed with the turn out, I had hoped for better. I am most impressed wti the results and I will tell you that I honestly did not expect anyone to exceed 12BPS when I started this... its an interesting consideration to my views. It should come as no surprise that we saw a lot of excuses as to why people could not back up there bragging... its funny how that works. If those of you that promoted this with me and have not already would contact me abotu the prize amount, or the winners. Beemer has shown full support as I expected, and I have the funds he has promised to help out, as well as my own. Would those of you who got first or second contact me via PMs about receiving your prizes. Thank you to all that participated, to those that promoted, and to those that watched this thread. I cannot thank the judges enough, without there expertise and time into this, it surely would not have been possible. If we ever run into each other at some event, see me, I owe you a beer, much more really.

I think that the vid quality was way to poor, and he should resubmit.

[drg]

And thanks to everyone who put time and effort into running this event.

The result isn't exactly what I would have liked, since the winning entry didn't conform strictly to the rules, but then again a lot of entries did not follow one or two of the points. I will say that I did not expect to be in the running with "just" 13.8 bps.

I hope one day to see high-quality video of one of the winner's pulls. It could be educational for those of us trying to improve our technique.

Wouldn't have been legal anyway, it's ramping/bouncing/adding shots. 23 pulls and 32 shots in that small sample.

[ntn4502]
