Well done Kanar and Blackwiggle for getting that sorted out, don't think I'll be making it out of the Falcon group alive ;). So is that how we are positioned on the board, I'm in the top slot and then Amorbis is in the second seeded spot?

Ok I just sorted this out wth blackwiggle, KGB;
seeded groups of death order is not your definitive position in the boards (we'll draw the order as soon as we'll have the definitive 192 listing. Oh & there's a list of waiting seeded player too, in case of an early seed withdrawal.
No KGB it's not a seed rank in each group.
I just gave each of the 64 seeded pilots a number, ran a random sequence generator and that's basically how the groups ended up turning out.
Your number came up first in F group.
We had to make about 10 changes as there was a few instances of too many pilots of one country in a group.
I think my answer is better suited for kgb's question there mate lol (or my english understanding is def a no-go, which is possible too). Ok guys, a final explanation there, & I'm going to tweet this one.

FAQ
WTF are these seeds?
===> Leungbok, JJPAP, Blackwiggle, KGB1971, Pirahpac, SaturnReturn, Ace3 & Fyue3, DP89, OBH, Triboy, Yeldar, GS, Luna & me based ourselves on :
-Online rankings
-Connavar Rankings
-Avalon tournaments
-Other Zone tournaments
-Common knowledge of the level playing field
Then they gave me their list, and I realised a poll of their thoughts. Here are the most quoted names. I've some kind of seeded waiting list too, in case a seed would have to withdraw before the start of the competition.
WTF ARE THESE SEEDED GROUP OF DEATH?
-We launched a randomizer to sort 8 groups of 8 seeds, tweaked by nationality. Seed order in each group will be tossed later, with the definitive 192 pilot listing.
Hope I've cleared up everything there now.
Yeah, I didn't mean I thought I was the top seed in the group of course ;).
though i only 3 names atm, i hope to know more once this is done
cannot wait for this!!!
LOL, you bet it did, comrade :lol :eekQuote:

And thinking of 24 more fast madmen entering the Hawks Group in december, makes it all the more hardcore, almost surrealistic!
Wish I had to race every single one of you :)
Sensational line-up!
So question from me, are you put in 1 of the groups and play 1 opponent or do you play some of them / all of them?
hey jav, reread this one http://www.wipeoutzone.com/forum/sho...&postcount=564
then let me know if something's missing in my explanations, in short:
seeded order in their group to be sorted out, and global 192 toss to be done; you have 1 chance over 3 I think, to draw a seed first round. direct elimination like tennis mate remember gah no more battery on my laptop lool
I think it would be like this:
-Group 1-
Seed 1------\___Seed 1------\
unseeded---/........................\____Seed 1
......................................... /
unseeded---\___ Seed 2------/
Seed 2------/
-Group 2-
Seed 1------\___Seed 1------\
unseeded---/........................\____Seed 1
......................................... /
unseeded---\___ Seed 2------/
Seed 2------/
And both Seed 1's would then play each other? I don't think you face anyone from the East Side if you're West side until the finals. Am I right?
exactly mate, & hope you guys will have a clear view with this post http://www.wipeoutzone.com/forum/sho...&postcount=564
seeded order in their group to be sorted out, and global 192 toss to be done; you have 1 chance over 3 I think, to draw a seed first round. And no possible seed opposition until round 3. direct elimination like tennis. The final huge massive board will be up real soon guys anyway.
Totally right.
256 players in 8 groups means 32 players in each group. 8 players are seeded in each group, and 24 are not. 1/4 chance you get a seeded, and 3/4 chance you get an unseeded player.
It also means you will only play someone from another group if you are the 'winner' of your group (the only one to come out of it alive).
Tough competition!
One last thing worth clarifying that I can tell at the moment:
It's written here that East Side is the left side of the board and West Side the right; but above the group listings it has West Side on the left and East Side on the right, which I think should be correct since that's the horizontal axis while facing North (as is typical..).
Cant believe it.
My repaired ps3 survived one day :-:paperbag
thx amplificated, corrected it now. OBH that's baaad news there. Tbh when you talked about the hoover sound I wasn't sure you'd keep it alive for long anyway. These old bit***s are like a first XBOX360 series RING OF DEATH = total crap.
Make that 2 open slots kanar, Forgot I was going to nepal/china/japan for 6 weeks starting December 14th.
Shame I get to miss this :(
woah what a nice trip there mate. Better than wipeout obviously I'm jealous. Big thanks for the update there, you're saving my time!
Those seeded groups are deadly :eek
One minor niggle, Kanar; Fabulous Fabimus is (DEN), not norwegian, but I'm sure Fabi won't mind much to be an honorary Norwegian for this cup :p
thx mic for noticing this, correct now. Jeeeeeez spent the night sending confirmation pms. PLEASE guys answer asap, and let me know quickly if you're on the moon or something and can't compete in December. Also, these dates (dec 20 to January 9) can be tweaked a bit in function of your status by that time (means you could maybe arrange your meeting before, if we can sort the line up in advance, or to the contrary we could give you a few more days after Jan. 9 to complete your round (in the case you'll be back in the middle of the meeting scheduled window). Ok so guys, please confirm your status asap, so we could maybe begin the party earlier eh eh.
dont worry haydn you can still use my ps3.
and if by some miracle you win your group then the final will be split screen :D
Yeah really hope he could sort this out soon. I can send him my dead ps3 if he wants to pick some parts too lol. MrPhlanj I sent you the confirmation pm, answer it when you have time to confirm your registration.
I can give you my confirmation today but I don`t have a fav ship just yet and working on it!
stevie:)
hey kanar
i received your psn confirmation message, but an error occured whilst trying to copy the attachment: "content was deleted from server" !!!
please try to send it again or post it here, thx
yeah it's weird, the attachment is working half of the time, for whatever reason. I'll send it to you again over the ps3 at 12:00
thanks , and one question:
Is it allowed to change ship , e.g. for rapier icaras and for phantom harimau?
(referring to the choice of fav ship)
of course of course, these fav settings are just a hint for your future opponent mate, but you're free to play wth whatever you want
I've used the random selector to sort ALL 192 Unseeded pilots into 8 groups.
I'll leave it to KANAR to post the sorting as it came up.
It uses the numbers he gave everybody as they joined the tournament.
Check your name/number against the pilots list on the first page of this thread to see what group you are in.
This is ONLY what group you are in, not who you are racing against.
I'll do a separate random draw for each group to see who races who once that group has 100% confirmation.
Be patient, we want to get this right.
yeah there's some minor adjustments to be done, I'll do my best to sort this out tonight as I'm at work atm, but not sure cos' I've already the registration confirmation process to follow (collecting your datas=> then modifying your status first page/answering to your questions in the same time/or sending again this fkin rule pic which is corrupted 0kb half of the time/OR just hearing you'll be on the moon in December/you changed your mind cos' you're finally not interested).
A very important thing now. Once again feel free to invite people into this cup, I've already 3 withdrawals, and I'm suspecting a lot more. So it's not 4 slots left, it's probably around 10/20 left in the end. So if you could convert some skilled randoms into nice zoners this month, or just invite them to participate, THAT would be great.
I've the same problem (damn ps3) :frown:Quote:

I'll reply to the confirmation tomorrow
Count me in
Psn id: Robe-94
I obey Mr Fett :nod
(picture was corrupt here as well)
I never encoutered this error. pic has been deleted from server you said guys? Really feel like I'm considered as a spammer by Sony there. Or it's just the pic maybe, but it's not the resolution or the size as when I'm sending it a second time it's working. Pfff. Anyway, I'll send you again Storm & mic the rule pic in a few minutes, when I'll turn the messaging machine on lol. A warm welcome to Robe-94 & huteer, thanks for joining this monster cup. Yeah definitely a monster one there.
no worries, asap doesn't mean today anyway. I just need a real quick answer FROM THE PEOPLE WHO WANT TO WITHDRAW; THIS FOR SAVING MY FKIN TIME.Quote:

If you want to keep the picture hidden (don't want to show it in this thread) then you can maybe send a PM with the image URL to imageshack or something.
Or maybe you can make a Wipeout HD Cup social group with all the information that is invite-only (invitation after you confirm registration via PM on PSN)? Maybe it's too much work though (do all 256 contenders even have an account here?).
For a change of pace, I'll just say I for one did get the picture, though I opened it very soon after Kanar sent it out...
no it's not a secret code, it's only the detailed rules & regulations of the cup by Saturn. It's working half of the time, then people got it on my 2nd try. Erich123 just got it after 4 tries. It was just for helping you guys to have the rules directly on your ps3.
Starting to be a bit paranoid there
Seems like my attachments are considered as spam now.Quote:

Just wanted to give a quick heads-up for the first post; while I may be from the USA (even though it's a country initials, seeing as how Puerto Rico is a US territory), PR should also be classified as PUR (got this idea from the FIFA code for the soccer team in PR) :P.
awwright. Worked all afternoon on that :

This is the board matrix. Sorry I forgot to use another color for the seeded players, just remember there won't be any seed opposition 'til round 3. (Seeded player list => HERE)
Your name appears if you confirmed your status before 15:00 gmt+1 today. I'll update these clouds on a daily basis if I can (contrary to the global line up code, updated 3 times a day). The numbers corresponds to people who didn't confirm yet. And a CCM is a Cup Community Manager aka Raptor, the one who follow your journey into this cup from the start until your elimination.
There's still a final draw to make, and obviously we can't do it now, with less than half of confirmed slots;
Your final position/opposition in your board. Just remember one thing, no seed opposition 'til round 3, 1/4 chance you get a seeded, and 3/4 chance you get an unseeded player.
Oh of course these ugly pics will be replaced soon by Darkdrium' gorgeous board.
CUP COMMUNITY MANAGERS aka THE RAPTORS ARE : Kanar, JJPAP, KGB, Jasmin, Blackwiggle, triboy, R3BU5ER, UB3R~JKP
Confirmed my entry today, am prepared to be destroyed!
