WIPEOUT WORLD CUP! (its a go FINALLY!!!!) xD
:rock:guitar:hyperwipeoutHD "WEAPONS ON" World Cup!:hyper:guitar:rock
Thats right! Finally after lots of debating, multiple drafts, difference of opinion, overly complicated rules, plus aaaaalllllll the other stuff, we finally have it ready - Its the wipeout world cup! (Thought it would be good to announce it along with wipeout FURY :)
Cheers to SaturnReturn, Mad-Ice + others for finally getting things rolling. (and EPSILON for the awesome idea!)
[ THE RULES ]
---------------------------------
* 10 teams compete on PHANTOM to see who really is the best of the best.
* EVERY MATCH IS WEAPONS ON, ALL 16 TRACKS
* points are scored in exactly the same manner as the normal wipeoutHD tournament structure.
* Every team is always involved right until the end - All 10 places are decided so the finalist's will only play 1 game more than the rest.
* Try to have at least one standby player ready in case of long term disconnection.
* Games should be invite only
* Teams should agree on host in advance, can split hosting if both agree.
* Coordinate via the PS3 chat box. Set up a chatbox before the race and all join.
* The highest socring pilot for each race will be awardrd the "Most Valuable Pilot" for that race :)
* Keep track of ALL players scores --- either via a screenahot / photo at the end, or use the chatbox to keep track.
* If there are many complaints in the chatbox of dead weapons pads or frequent broken barrel rolls during the first 8 races, change host for the 2nd set of races.
* TIMESCALE -- Each team will have ONE MONTH to play all the teams in their group IN ANY ORDER YOU PLEASE before we move onto the next round :) We were going to do 1 race a week, but leaving you guys to organise 4 matches within 31 days should be easy enough!
TRY AND ORGANISE RACES NOW, OR IN THE NEAR FUTURE :) Ill mark next to each race the date itll be taking place if you guys know in advance.
* DISCONNECTIONS -- If it happens within the first few races, obviously feel free to start again. If its 2 races from the end and 1 team has a clear winning advantage, dont bother. If it becomes a REAL problem, try another team mate or re-arranging it for another day. Forfeits are of course an absolute last resort.
Just use a bit of common sense if something starts to go wrong. Not every race is going to go 100% according to plan, just try not to go mental about it :)
* QUESTIONS -- PLEASE, PLEASE, PLEASE, post them here
