WIPEOUT WORLD CUP! (its a go FINALLY!!!!) xD

[OBH]

wipeoutHD "WEAPONS ON" World Cup!

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

Enjoy yourselves, and good luck!!!

[xtriko]

Why can't I find Portuguese Wipers for this :'(

[RobCoxy]

Whoa, there are some good players there!

England looks promising from who i have raced out of all the teams . Though every team has GREAT players. Good luck all .

But.... COME ON ENGLAND !

[Vartazian]

dont you Rule out the States and Canada, Were here to Crush some Europeans!

[OBH]

Why can't I find Portuguese Wipers for this :'(

Shame my friend. You could try joining another team? Austria have only 4 pilots.

Granted your a good few miles away from Austria! and it is entirely up to them anyway, not me.

As I said in the other thread, we need an even-number of teams for this to work. So either 2 more teams need in, or try banding together a load of misfits and i'll make room.

The more the merrier i say

dont you Rule out the States and Canada, Were here to Crush some Europeans!

No American can beat, invade, or fly faster than an englishman

[leungbok]

dont you Rule out the States and Canada, Were here to Crush some Europeans!

Wotan, Eric7dm, Kingheim, Asayyeah... are already traumatized

[XBARNSTERX]

ohh this is going to be so much fun, cambodia world cup i can see it.

[alterego]

Hi xtriko, hi all.

Why can't I find Portuguese Wipers for this :'(

Team Italy it's ready to welcome to your skillfull wipers arts!

....if you want!

read you soon
cdrom

[OBH]

xtriko, a born again italian

[djKyoto]

If it's ok, Can you add Luna for Team ANZ.

Also what are the race matches? 12 Races Random Touranment? 2 Lots of 8/12?

[kaori]

Haydn said 2 tournaments of 8 races, but Fury is going available, why not do 2 tournaments of 12 races ?

[OBH]

Because not everyone is deffinitly going to have fury.

If they do when September rolls around, sure why not

If it's ok, Can you add Luna for Team ANZ.

Also what are the race matches? 12 Races Random Touranment? 2 Lots of 8/12?

All 16 tracks each time.
We were going to include various other game modes (doubles matches, emilinator etc) but its best to stick with tried and trusted first, and made another tourny later if people enjoy themselves

[mic-dk]

Since I didn't qualify for Team Nordic I can safely say we will thrash you all!



But we really need to find a better flag for us - we look like Lufthansa...

[TarotCardKiller]

Are they going to be any Avalon races as well ? It'd be nice to have 'peace' races in the midst of this Cambodian tournament.

The match format isn't clear.

[OBH]

Read it all the way through, clearly states many times that every battle is weapons on, all 16 tracks Dont know how much clearer you need it

Sorry for there being no AVALON esc races, was debated for a long time. But hey ho, you cant please everyone.

Like ive said, if people enjoy it, we can always do another one to incorporate more game types.

[eLhabib]

So how about including the 4 (8 with reverse) new tracks? And what about the Fury ships? Are they allowed?

[OBH]

Because not everyone is deffinitly going to have fury.

Nuff said. We cant include the new tracks if not all players can race on them.

If everyone does have FURY when September rolls around, sure why not

edit:
If fury ships have the same stats as normal, then theres no harm in picking them.

[TarotCardKiller]

I didn't see that. LOL oops =]

[SaturnReturn]

Don't feel too bad TCK, I missed the big red weapons bit at the top too. It looks better now in blue. I suspect a stealth edit went in there

[RedScar]

The same bracket as the french, thats just bad luck. GL to all who are entered, now lets just hope my PS3 is back soon so I can get some practice in.
