I have several large jars of the stuff. I actually like it... a little. And don't tell anyone I admitted to it.

Why is it that whenever anyone attempts to give any criticism whatsoever on this online community he/she gets immediately bashed?
Written by: entheogen
By any other artistic competition I know of, the judges nearly always give critique to the performer, normally face to face and many dont even bother finding a nice euphanism to 'I thought this part was crap'. I mean, thats the whole point to a COMPETITION, there's winners and losers and there's a normally a reason why this guy won and that one lost.

I remember last year the whole thing made me a bit angry BECAUSE there was no feedback from the judges. And if I remember correctly I wasnt the only one irritated by this.

Perhaps I thought that you would read then think things through instead of responding with what feels like a knee jerk reaction)
Our deepest fear is not that we are inadequate. Our deepest fear is that we are powerful beyond measure. It is our light, not our darkness that most frightens us. We ask ourself, who am I to be brilliant, gorgeous and talented? Who are you NOT to be?

I also find it interesting that no one has yet addressed the fact that I also mentioned how unfair I felt it was and my suggestion of a division next year, as a form of constructive criticism.

Would it be possible to have a HoP-name list against each of the videos? I had no idea Flow Garden was Kahn for example (nice vid by the way ) - it's just nice to put a name to a video in a "oooooooo that's who you are" way

Hurrah! my copy arrived today. Havnt had a chance to watch it yet but will watch it after our weekly burn tonight and post my impressions accordingly.
As to the idea of dividing COL, i have mixed feelings about this. It really depends on how you would split it up. I dont think that having a pro's and a amature category would be sensible. I know a number of amazing spinners who arnt professional and a number of professionals that arent that amazing.
Im more in favour of having a technical / skill level catagory and an artistic interpretation category. Which category you prefer is a matter of taste but i think that most people can appreciate something done well in either, spliting the 2 would take away judging bias dependant on taste (e.g. i like technical spinning more than dancey stuff, so if i was a judge i would be more likly to vote for the technically proficient, splitting the categories would force me to consider both and make it fairer)

But then you've got 2 competitions (regardless if there's 1st, 2nd 3rd places - it's still a comp to get on the DVD), and I really wouldn't like to judge the tech' category.
Hardest moves make it on? Best explained make it on? Which is in fact more tech - prayer steve or inverted 7-bt atomic weave

Plus I think you'd lose a lot of entrants - dare I use the word "amateur"... The single-camera angle, single-shot performances. Unless of incredible choreography or beautiful movement, they wouldn't count as artistic, yet knowing roughly where the bar is to be classed as "tech", they might not feel they can enter into this category either.
Whilst you could argue (and I'd probably agree) this would make for a better DVD - it wouldn't be as community focussed as CoL currently is.
Again it comes down to what CoL is, what it should be, and what it could be
