BPS "Showdown" - PRIZES

[Lohman446]

hey, i've got a question. I am interested in partaking in this competition, have a camera that i could take the video with and post it relatively easiely, and have an emag that i can believe i can walk fast enough to compete(or possibly rake). The only problem is that I use a qloader, and that only gives 100 rounds before i run out. my question:
Would it be alright if i used my qlaoder for the first 100 shots, proving that the marker was using paint correctly, and then dry-fire the rest of the 8 seconds? my emag has stock software, 3.2 so half-cycling or whatever the paint is for should not have an impact on my rof.
If you won't let me enter the competition, can i still enter a vid and get it gold-waved?
Thanks guys

I would like to see where you placed on those terms, however I would asterik the results and note them as "unofficial" due to that and make you ineligible for prizes. I would like to see where you stack up though. Thats the fairest solution I can seem to come up with and I think its reasonable.

2) Must have video that shows each individual trigger pull and be able to correlate each pull to a single ball firing - raking is allowed only if we can verify each trigger pull through movement.

Good Luck.

The only way you can judge a contest like this would be to have standard equipment and a standard recording method.

Do you beleive its undoable to get to an acceptable degree of accuracy as it has been proposed? I realize it won't be perfect but is it one of those things that has not possible positive ending?

It MIGHT work. And I wish you all the luck.

But considering the few videos that get made and the roaring debates over those that are made, well....

[tyrion2323]

Hey Slarty - good point. I agree that it needs to be standardized.

With that being said, I respectfully submit some tentative rules for consideration by Lohman:

- Video must be a single shot. No edits and cuts
- Video must start with view of player and marker; then show the marker mode; then back to the player and marker.
- Players must state the make and model of both the marker and the board.
- Player must state his board settings, and somehow prove them. (this could be tough)
- Video must show the person actually firing the trigger, with visual access to the trigger fingers.
- Video must be paintball only; no bragging, political statements; insults, or whatever.

These are not official rules, simply submissions for consideration by Lohman.

There will always be a lot of variable with this. A sound analysis is just that, sound. If the sound and the image can't be sync'd it becomes difficult to tell if the gun is fired with each pull.

If the camera is only a few feet from a hard wall the sound reflection off the wall could be misinterpreted as a shot fired.

Best bet is the video camera looking over left shoulder (if they are right had shooters) fairly close up enough to view the trigger, fingers and see the shots from the barrel. Images should be taken during the day in good light. All of this will help to get a more accurate count.

Finding the fastest 8 seconds is also rather subjective and relies on the interpreter of the media.

It's all doable as long as there is some consistency.

[Beemer]

Lets see how this goes

Ok Lohman heres what I will do if you can pull this off.

$50 1st place

$25 2nd place

$25 for a keg Party after for the judges and all that help [to add..must be of legal age]

If it works I pay you and you handle it.

I can host some vids also. 10 meg or smaller is good like Yaks was.

Hitech put up some good links in the other thread and Yak got it figured out and he was a beginner so that part shouldnt be a biggie.

Slarty has some points. If it dont work, at least ya tried

Also along with the shake I want to see a sharp JOLT to the back of the tank. Safety off must not fire.

If LP and RR jump in its over.

Rule 10. On my AO Honor this is semi only[no bounce, modes, etc...] My Honor means something to me. Does yours.

I know it sounds lame but hey WTH

If the honor thing starts being an issue Im out. Except for the party part.

Wheres ZMan at hes a fun guy. Maybe he will help to with the goldwave. Hes a pro with that.

Peace Out

yup

tyrion2323 has some good points Lohman. Time to mod the rules

[Lohman446]

I modded and added some clarifications to the bottom of the rules

[Beemer]

1st place now = $90

[Jotsy]

u know, this is turnin out to be a very interesting idea. any chance in making this monthly? or even annual? (imagine a whole year's worth of bragging rights)

you can also do a whole series of competitions like this...

eg
- fastest to fire 100 rounds ON TARGET (accuracy will also be measured)
- fastest to fire 100 rounds on target while in motion (measured on speed, accuracy and distance traveled)
- fastest to fire 500 rounds (this would entail reloading... without spilling.. or reloading 5 times with a qloader)

heh, mebe we should take this one step at a time...

alright, i think i'll try to borrow my friend's halo if he'll let me... if not, ill still submit 1-2 qpods full for kudos. Who else is going to compete? i think it would be nice to get a list of the competitors and some misc. info on the first post, so that we know what we're up against. Thats just me though... :P

Lohman
This needs to be added

When they are shooting there marker they have to be shooting not at a target
I have been studying some vids and you can hear the paintballs hitting the tagret
So have them shoot at a target a long way away so I dont hear there inpacts.

Added a line to address that concern
