speaking of poor judging - no offense to anyone - i thought there were some really controversial decisions in prague and in kuala lumpur
i wish rbss would hire real freestylers to judge rather than random clowns and footballers

If you think Prague and Kuala Lumpur were poorly judged, RBSS is 10x worse.

The problem with RBSS is the whole organization of it.  The actual competitions seem to be OK.  They still get a crowd out and the setup is pretty good for the most part.  The information and advertising is shit though.  Nobody knows what's going on.  They need to bring it all together so freestylers and fans can enjoy it.  There is no good way for fans to know what the hell is going on.

How's it possible that the HOST country won't have a qualifier? LOL!

Every competition and every jury has some (at least) questionable decisions.

I'd highly disagree that RBSS is doing a shit job at advertising it since it's the most known and most viewed competition out there (not in the FF community/circles, but for the average Joe), their main problem is the absolute lack of communication with the FF community/scene.

Since we hit the topic of countries without RBSS this "season", which countries are on the list (that have had RBSS in the past or have a relevant scene)?

From what I know or have heard, so far it's: Hungary, Germany, France, Italy, Croatia, Serbia, Bosnia & Herzegovina.

It depends on how big market Red Bull has in a country. If it's small and they don't want to put that much money in to promote it, or the last years promotion was not a success, they just take the country of the RBSS list. They don't think about the freestyle part.

On the credibility part, I think that the winner is still discussed as a champion, even if the level will drop. After all it's our most worldwide and the biggest competition, even if it's bullshit by judging.
