Did I fuck that up again? Dammit! Less bhangra. More BME. and more learning English. Most of the FOBs these days have a better grasp of the English language than I do.

Regardless, we can test the Hans hypothesis! Get all these "special" teams ridiculously drunk and see who places. Since punjabis can normally drink, we would need to make sure proof is 151+ and perhaps we can have a placebo group!

Yeah, we ascertained that line-up select. has nothing to do with judging, but the results would have been fun to see!

What's the point in waiting till the comp? You went to Cornell, can't you just ask Tarun and Jasjeet who's gonna win, like, tomorrow?

OH SNAPZILLA, NO I DIDN'T.

 

[Jeeti]

Ouch, I got CHOWOWOOOOWOKED.

Oh, and Jeeti, I'd think twice before disrespecting Snapzilla. I mean just look at that heat he's packing.

I'll stop spamming this topic starting now.

A few people private messaged me (no names) and asked for the names of the teams that applied but did not get into Burgh.

Burgh made a mistake. Despite being very tech-savvy with their website, their email was not and unfortunately, the competition committee, probably by accident, belittled the confidentiality teams thought they had when they applied to the competition (unless it was explicitly stated in the registration that their names would be released). Burgh made a mistake. And now teams who also got rejected (for whatever reason) know what other teams that got rejected.

Is it fair to exploit this mistake and have the public know that they also did not get in for whatever reason? (Essentially adding salt to the wounds?) Truskool Folk does not think so and this will not be done by us. I'm sure teams can come forward (like me) and say they also got rejected.

Although Burgh made a mistake accidentally releasing the names of the teams that didn't get in, out of respect for the other teams involved and the competition, it is best not to say anything to the "public" at all. If those teams that were rejected would like to release that information, they can do that on their own, as you did Kinnell.

Jeeti, thanks for summing up my post. That's exactly what I said. No really, Jeeti. lol My english may suck, but I think the jist of the post said that Truskool will not be exploiting this mistake and that teams can come forward if they want, but that we won't do it for them.

 

[Jeeti]

I thought you were posing a question, bastard. hahaha

 

[Havish]

I think everyone should chill out with the Burgh committee. They have made mistakes and have tired to solve them in the past and I'm sure they will fix this too. There are the first competition to have an online system, therefore having a problem or two is expected.

As for the list of teams that didn't get in, that shouldn't be given out as public information. It should only be keep with the committee and now the teams that didn't get in. If a team would to come out and say they didn't get in then that fine but for one person to call out all the teams that didn't get in, thats messed up.

and are you still allowed to apply since theres only 8 teams? can a organizer plz get at me ASAP!!!

Dude... are you serious? there is a registration deadline for a reason. They picked 8 teams and I'm assuming thats all.

weakkkk line-up

gimme a comp in its second year with a line up like this...and i'll bet something crazy with you..

almost every comp has had some basis of which to found on...not to call out avap specifically...but i remember back in the day...they used to have bhangra stampede...and im pretty sure some of those young heads were grown when they started avap...regardless of the example...

weak line up..hmm...week before probably the biggest competition on the east coast..given the context...i'd say its a damn strong line up.

p.s. cali...pfffffffffff

love,

pittsburgh.

South Beach Bhangra 2005...in its 2nd year...also had 2 other competitions the same weekend, Fusion and Blowout

Sher, KJ, Soormay, Rutgers, UBC, Columbia, Cornell, and some others...
