How about this: Sick 10-15.

This way if you hit a string that's a few contacts short of 15 but still very good for you it can be submitted.

The only complication I could see is the judging... like would a string of 15 three adds be better than a string of 10 four adds?

If sick 3/sick1 can be done, why not sick 15?

I will enter for sure

And to Fletcher for his ridiculous suggestion, like Jeremy said if you cant hit 15 contacts to enter a competition then you need to probably schoool heaps more. The idea of hitting a string just short of 15 contacts is 'good enough' is just ridiculous. It's a sick 15. 15 contacts, 15 moves. Too bad if you drop on the 14th. Another thing is you have as much time as you want to try to get a good sick 15 anyways, so if you drop the 14th its not like you cant tyr anymore.

And also a string isnt judged based on adds. Maybe If someone hit 15 fealress and some other guy hit 15 bops then that would be judged accoprdingly. But i would probably vote for a person hitting genuine 3's rather than A string of blurry whirls or easy 5's linked with bailey tricks.


So to conclude:

1) It's Sick 15 - and no, A 12 contact string is not 'good enough'
2) Australia won the basketball for the c. games! Wooo
:D

I'd like to bring this back for February. I'm going to do a sick 15 for novice/intermediate. If other people enter, great, if not no big deal. It will be good for my game to put something like this together.

I think we should do a sick 15 with the caveat that you can submit strings with less than 15 contacts, but there penalties for falling short. Judging would be subjective of course, but it would be based on difficulty, both-sidedness, uniqueness (repeats count against you), style and execution/cleanliness.

If there's no comp ben, we'll just do it us 2! I'm going to film one too just for the fun of it and to help my diversity in long strings.
