Cloud Posted July 29, 2016 Share Posted July 29, 2016 Actually , i think @esaj is right. Maybe its not a suoer big deal if some uses an older video. The video cannot be too old anyway as eucs didnt exist then! Lets have them be able to splice the first few seconds showing their forum name and date. And then uninterrupted video showing tricks. I think we are getting into too many rules and conditions. The date of the video could be based on the honor system. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rehab1 Posted July 29, 2016 Share Posted July 29, 2016 Omg.. I take a short afternoon nap and wake up to find a United Nations EUC Summit going on? So funny! 1)Ok, from what I am reading, please correct me if I'm wrong, a sheet of paper with the contestant's username and current date held up by the contestant in front of the camera before his or her's performance. That sounds good. 2) The contestant is required to remain in clear view of the video shoot throughout his or her's entire performance. 3) Contestants are allowed to submit up to 3 separate video performances during the course of the contest. Each submitted video performance shall include the same identical requirements spelled out in paragraphs #1 and 2 above. Sound about right?

However you failed to observe the fact that our opinions changed like 15 times during discussion lol. There is a valid concern from @HEC that a contestant may want to cut the best 3 minute piece out of a long practice to oresent and there is nothing wrong with that. Now, they dont know when they are performing which 3 minutes its going to be so they dont know when the 3 minutes will start and hence dont k ow when to display the paper. Perhaps we can have the condition of a new video to be based on the honor system, thus also relieving the already increasingly complicated rules? regarding being always inside the shot, doesnt have to be the contestant- any live moving object/ person can be Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The paragraph above that just went through my eyes and out througth my ears... maybe one beer too many? One will try ti record his best routine for , say, 20 minutes. Then he will come home and pick the best 3 minutes of his performance to upload. So at the time of riding the euc, hiw does he know which 3 minutes he will later pick? He does know then, when to display the piece of paper with his name fir an uniterrupted video. Or..one displays his name and records 3 minutes of video, hiwever in the first 15 seconds he screws up and falls. He should have the right to cut out the first 15 seconds and submit 2 min 45 seconds video instead. However the part where he shows the piece of paper in the beginning will then be lost Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sure, someone might try, but when it comes to the more "unknown" contestants, voters will (at least likely) take a close eye on their videos if it seems suspicious. My guess is that we will see just awesome videos from the contestants without a single try to cheat... but still not saying that it wouldn't be good to have clear rules Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cloud Posted July 29, 2016 Share Posted July 29, 2016 Thats what i am saying. Lets just allow them to splice that first 2 seconds of the video where they show the piece of paper. Let it be based on the honor system that the vudeo is new. Its too many rules by now 21 minutes ago, Cloud said: Yeah, but then he has to keep showing the paper , just in case he later chooses to cut the previous footage.

What i meant was that if the requirement is to show the paper at beginning, then after the cut beginning he will be forced to show the paper again....not that its a requirement to keep showing it all the time....so lets just do away with this requirement of showing paper at beginning...ir allow them to splice that furst second to the rest if the video Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rehab1 Posted July 29, 2016 Share Posted July 29, 2016 Oh boy... This is getting complicated. I believe we need to have more faith in our Forum brothers and sisters. I guess my thoughts circle back to a continuous , non edited performance similar to events like a skating or gymnastic trial and finals. If a skater or gymnast falls they shake it off, jump back up and continue their routine. If the contestant is not happy with their video performance there is nothing stopping them from doing in over until they get it right without mistakes. They can practice the same routine for 2 months, record each one and then select the best performance to submit to the contest. Also, If someone wants to use protective gear to perform a stunt during the video taping, that is fine. Just stay in the shot. I still like the idea of a piece of paper, say 8x11" (good old USA metric system)with the time, date and contestant's username. Sorry if I missed anything. I can't keep up?

HEC Posted July 29, 2016 Author Share Posted July 29, 2016 As I doubt that my riding skills would improve so dramatically in following two months to score any serious points in the competition unless I'd ride the wheel juggling three cats while each of cat would juggle 3 mice I'm not really bothered either way and any eventual submissions from my side would be more for laughs and the "I was there" feel than anything else Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hirsute Posted July 31, 2016 Share Posted July 31, 2016 @Rehab1 Hello, i have just read that: "In order to conduct a fair and unbiased contest EUC Forum members who wish to cast votes for their favorite contestant's video must have been a member of the EUC Forum for at least 1 month prior to the start of the contest and must also have at least 5 positive reputations. " As i am membre for only few days, i can't vote? I can't receive vote? I don't understand... That's maybe a shame because i am trying to motivate french wheelers to post videos, but If they can't vote... Maybe you should add that wheelers who post a video have the right to vote even if he is a new forumer... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe you should add that wheelers who post a video have the right to vote even if he is a new forumer... Like @esajmsaid, there was no rule against new members being a contestant. There may, however, be a problem with the rule that a new member who is a contestant being able to vote. First of all, if someone is a contestant why would he vote for someone else, thus increasing someone else's chances of winning. Also, could new member contestant can be someone's friemd and can create an account and post a video just for the purpose of placing a vote for a friend. For that reason i dont think new member contestant should be allowed to vote. They can compete though...this is just my personal opinion, and @Rehab1 or other moderators can overrule me.
