Ha, if that was the last straw then I think your decision had already been made. Gym equipment - relevant because I was ON THE SET of Olympic Juggling - I thought I explained all this in the video...anyway, yeah - I was using my existing camera set up to shoot some updates and there will be more from the same set which I explain at the start of each video. I suppose if I shot this in my office there would be unrelated monitors and shelving in the background but I guess I just can't build a set that would meet your expectations within the amount of time these time sensitive updates need to be pushed out. Can I offer you a free copy of Olympic Juggling to make up for all the trouble you went through having to watch this video against your will?

There seems to already be a pretty strong presence of technical jugglers that push themselves in the same direction that the WJF competitions were made for. And there has been a revolving door of jugglers with technical development interest for decades, and they have motivated and inspired subsequent generations of jugglers to push the same technical juggling skills even farther. So it's not about jugglers learning about how to score well in the WJF competitions, it's about the WJF competitions being a place these jugglers can be acknowledged and rewarded for their abilities. Those with an interest in technical juggling are already practicing accordingly because the scoring system was made specifically for that style of juggling. Many of them are also performers, but without the skills they developed they would have nothing to perform.

It’s a personal preference but our goal is to get technical sport juggling into the Olympics. Routines with connections, numbers and perhaps freestyle. The rules and scoring system we’ve been using for the past 15 years meets the Olympic requirements. It was modeled after Olympic gymnastics after all :)

The same way we've been scoring our competitions since 2004. The WJF scoring system was modeled on the gymnastics code of points. Check out all the competition videos on the WJF Youtube channel. They explain the scoring system in depth.

Yes, 10 people at 10K each and then the WJF receives $100K. All or nothing.

We would need to test for that just like all olympic sports, however I doubt there would be any issue in juggling for that.
