CoC#3 Posted May 13, 2008 Share Posted May 13, 2008 Gave it my best go, closed it first time, but, as per Steve's posts above, had some problem cutting the video down so it can be sent via email to Wannagrip. Gripper goes back to Jedd today. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bill Piche Posted May 13, 2008 Author Share Posted May 13, 2008 Well, you just basically negated his cert by posting these links in public before they could be judged. Of course, my guess is you didn't read the rules Steve. I am asking for a ruling from the judges though BEFORE the videos even get looked at. This is the first time this has ever happened. "8. The close must be video taped. The video must be of sufficient quality to take a CLEAR still of the gripper handles shown touching (the equivalent of taking a still picture with a camera). The video must then be submitted to Wannagrip for judging. VHS, 8mm, 8mm digital, or digital format from digital cameras are fine. ANY posting of stills or video clips before the attempt is officially judges and the attempt will be deemed INVALID." PM me. I removed your posts with links pointing to all the attempts.

Quite correct. Nor was I provided with any. Nothing in any of the PM's etc. Anyway, I've sent a PM explaining what's what and hope, for Sams sake (as per the PM) for the best.

Teemu I Posted May 13, 2008 Share Posted May 13, 2008 I saw that coming as I saw the link and thought, damn, the rules don't allow that. What a shame if this ruins it for Sam! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Mac Posted May 13, 2008 Share Posted May 13, 2008 I thought that too, it was stuck at the back of my mind. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CoC#3 Posted May 13, 2008 Share Posted May 13, 2008 (edited) Steve told me that the file was too big to be attached and sent via email. Same reason he couldn't send it to me either. I told Steve when he had the video that he has to email it to Wannagrip for judging, not just post it on youtube or something then provide a link here on the GB. If i don't pass the cert, it is my fault for not explaining the rules or printing off a set of rules to show Steve.

Bill Piche Posted May 13, 2008 Author Share Posted May 13, 2008 Given the expense of a Euro cert and given I removed the links quickly and other factors, the attempts will be judged. BUT, let this serve notice that there are RULES to follow for the certs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bill Piche Posted May 14, 2008 Author Share Posted May 14, 2008 Is the gripper on it's way back to Jedd? Videos are now in the judges hands. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CoC#3 Posted May 14, 2008 Share Posted May 14, 2008 Yes. I sent the gripper out yesterday. Jedd you will have to sign for it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bill Piche Posted May 14, 2008 Author Share Posted May 14, 2008 The attempt was judged with 3 reds. Here are the synced up comments made by the judges: The sets look too deep and I can't see the gripper closed. attempt one is too far away and then Steve touches his forearm disqualifies this attempt. attempt 2 he tried too quick and he didn't close it. attempt 3 looks like it might be closed but I am not sure, and the set looks too deep anyway, so no close in my opinion.

pdfk20 Posted May 16, 2008 Share Posted May 16, 2008 Unlucky Sam, this result is no judgement on your ability, you are way stronger than an MM1 as you have proved many times. Next time mate, next time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
