DETAILS
The World XCM On-line Tournament is open to any XCMer or manipulator wanting to compete. There are no age or other requirements. All you need is a video camera/webcam of some sort, and be able to upload your video. Many competitors use the free - www.youtube.com video hosting site that is easy to use.

WHEN DOES IT START?
The World XCM On-line tournament will start on 15 May. The tournament requires that you make a video approximately once every 2-3 weeks only. You have that time to make your routine and upload.

HOW DOES IT WORK?
The World XCM Tournament uses a double elimination battle system. In other words, people are paired up by random drawing and they battle to decide on the winner. Each competitor submits there video and our pannel of expert judges grades them all individually by a point system, and declares the winner. The winner advances in the winner's bracket and the looser drops down to a loser's bracket. You have to lose 2 battles/rounds to be out of the tournament completely.
ROUND SIX - SIICK MOVES

This round we are looking for your most difficult, crazy moves and routines! But don't worry... all does not have to be uncut... here is how this will go down.

Video breakdown
3 of your hardest or craziest single moves or combos. These 3 moves/combos can be done individually and the video may be cut. You may put text on the video saying what the move/combos are of your choice. We are of course also looking for items that are original to you or your style, although they don't "have" to be 100% original.
AND
One uncut routine of your other hardest/craziest material that you can weave into one routine. (can and should be completely different items than the 3 single cut moves...)

You can do anything you like! You can use a table, multiple decks, card clips, or anything else! Just please do not use fire..... or anything dangerous .. thanks...

Vids have a 3 minute cap however we don't think that is required since the hardest stuff will most likely and should probably by much shorter.
