Baller disland Posted November 8, 2021 Baller Share Posted November 8, 2021 This tournament/event had so little discussion its like it didnt happen. Lets show the overall guys some love. They had some kind of auto trick calling system but I couldn't understand what exactly it was doing. Does anyone know? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baller Cooper_Trelawney Posted November 8, 2021 Baller Share Posted November 8, 2021 I watched some of it yesterday afternoon on the WWS website's broadcast. Hank Longo and Jaret Llewellyn did a good job commentating and they had good camera work. Unfortunately the conditions were really tough on the skiers with strong winds blowing straight down the lake. Joel Poland won all 3 events and therefore the overall title too. I heard Jaret say that they have plans to keep building the event over the next 4 years so it looks like it will continue to happen. I missed the tricking though so I can't speak to the auto calling aspect. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baller Broussard Posted November 8, 2021 Baller Share Posted November 8, 2021 The trick calling system that you are referencing is EyeTrick - a new system that is currently being tested. EyeTrick is brought to us by the creators of SplashEye. As for the amount of discussion or lack thereof, I think that has more to do with lack of knowledge that the event was occurring than individuals not wanting to support overall skiing. .

Baller Splasheye Posted November 8, 2021 Baller Share Posted November 8, 2021 The American Open was the first test event for the new eyeTrick system from SplashEye. Designed to give live, accurate and consistent trick scores. Three judges use tablets to score the tricks , producing fully scored and reconciled passes while the skier is still in the water at the end of the lake. Unfortunately some hardware problems prevented the scores going live onto the webcast on Sunday afternoon but it was nonetheless a great weekend for the system. More information will follow over the winter. info@splasheye.com Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baller disland Posted November 8, 2021 Author Baller Share Posted November 8, 2021 This is a great idea. Lets judge tricks in real time at every level. No more replays. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baller Roger Posted November 8, 2021 Baller Share Posted November 8, 2021 I'll watch the archived broadcast later tonight. Meanwhile, here are some photos I shot (there is a slide show icon at the top of the page): WWS 2021 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
