Hard to get things sorted with team AUS when one member has shot himself in the foot and been suspended for a month and the other major team members sole reply was "OK"

****.
My place to use the internet isnt going to be there much longer.
Cant compete anymore. And more annoyingly, my lack of access to this site means even arranging it properly will be difficult. Checking this site once or twice a week at most isnt going to cut it.
Not too sure what to do about this...
You mean he's the first victim of his own "eliminator league" ? :gQuote:

Why don't you leave it until nearer the time and then see where you stand Haydn. There's a few weeks to go yet. If you can't do it as I said on team englands page I think silverfox is next in line to join up.Quote:

I've created some score sheets for the World Cup that people can use to keep track of their scores.
Attached is a zip folder (EDIT: Re-uploaded with fixed small sheet). In this folder is an Excel Workbook, within which are two sheets. There is a large score-sheet and a small score-sheet. The large score sheet can be printed out onto an A4 page and you can use it to write down your own score, and if you have time you can fill in all other scores too.
The smaller sheet is linked to the large sheet and will (fingers crossed) automatically fill itself out. You can then copy and paste the cells into paint. If you only copy the extents of the filled in cells then the sheet that is generated should be within the limits of the forum's rules for images so it can be posted directly into a thread.
An pdf example of the large score sheet can be found here:
Large Score Sheet Example
The smaller sheet that is generated should look like this:
EDIT: See Team England vs. Team Nordic Results Here
Alternatively you can just fill in the smaller sheet by hand - whatever you find easiest. If you find the font hard to read, then feel free to change it. The font can be downloaded here.
The captains of the two teams should fill out their team's scores and check that they all add up. Then they should liaise with the other team's captain to generate one small score-sheet and post it here. If someone has video or photos of the whole match then they can fill the sheet out themselves, but please double check all scores when you do so.
I hope these are useful to some of you. Whatever method you choose, whether you use these sheets or not, please make sure you all note down your own score and as many of your own team's scores (followed by the other team's scores) as possible in the time between races.

So, finally the world cup can be a true sucess! I'm thinking if during a race, the pilots that are the reserves of a team, can compete with the reserves of the other teams... For example during the race Italy vs France, can exist also Italy 2 vs France 2? Sure, this is not going to be official, is not valid for the world cup, and the pilots are always ready to quit the race for the official race, but I think this can be funny :D
Nice idea ShawnFrecle, I agree, no problem for France Italy, I will invite our not-selectionned players to join yours.
good to see everyones getting into this :)
shame i cant race, but if people pm me the dates / scores ill be sure to still update them when i can.
Poor Mirage haven't got any representatives at the WWC, only just realised that.
shocker...
3rd skin doesn't really count anyways so technically I was the only one ;)
*runs and hides*
Haha!!
Just paid for ps3 to get repaired, i was expecting it to take 6 weeks or something to return. Apparently they just give me a brand new one on collection day.
Hopefully ill be back on monday evening! :g
knowing my luck i misheard and it will take 6 weeks. Heres to hoping its not! :)
GROUP B RESULT
Team England - 321
Team Nordic - 151
Scoresheet attached containing individual and team results
Videos will be uploaded this week :)
EDIT - Saturn, I think there's a discrepancy between the small and large results tables you made. Results don't match.
Really? Damn! Will look into it.
Congrats to Team England!
Well, Team Nordic was in the lead for a while - until after Vineta K, that is ... Then it was more or less downhill all the way,
Long time since I´ve raced Greenix and Andy. My god, I´ve never been hit so badly w/ a Plasma before, Greenix (from almost full energy ´till sudden death in a split sec.) Jesus ...
Looking forward to the vids, Hellfire - especially Seb Rev (a close finish w/ "The Camera Man" in a perfect position, as far as I remember).
Thanks to all for this opening of The WWC 09.
See you
Thanks Hellfire. That was a bit of a schoolboy error there on my part.
Anyway, here is the small PSP friendly (hopefully) version of the breakdown.

EDIT: Image re-uploaded with updated Sebenco Climb scores.
Congratulations to Team England for completely destroying us out there. Just look at those results:eek
And a special thank you to Hellfire for pushing me into the wall at the exact moment I used a turbo on Anulpha rev. It did not end well.
(Hint : Kaboom!!)
Other highlights include getting blasted off the track twice on Sol II rev, and me generally hitting walls left and right because I was too busy trying to figure out if I could shoot the guy in front of me or not.
Actually from my view, you were on top of me. I was up against the wall :)
JJ, I'm a little too far back to get a good view of the Sebenco Reverse climax, but I did catch Greenix's plasma on Chenghou Reverse ;)
Greenix + Plasma = Hello ladies/lots of swearing
Weird. For me it looked the exact opposite. You came up on the outside and "gently" nudged me into the wall. I could be wrong, it's hard to tell from internal view, but the conclusion is the same : Turbo+Wall=Bad :lolQuote:

Well done England, a great start! :beer
Table updated.
What a lovely sight, England on top of the world :)
Nordic had 143 you plum ;)
Woops!! giving UK an early unfair advantage there :g
Saturn and I have been discussing about the difficulties getting 8 pilots from 2 teams together for a match. Especially because there will be a lot of racing going on coming months.
We suggest: 3 pilots per team or even 2 pilots per national team for a race is allowed. As long as there is an equal number of pilots per national team present. We do not need a full grid to determine the best team of the world. It will be a lot easier to organise for everyone.
3 points for a win and 1 point for a tie. So no more adding up all points from the 16 races for the total overall score.
We can still have the total overall points as stats though!
Okay, what do you all think about this?
I agree, it's a good idea for little teams like Italy or Austria. But I think too a big team can win a match with 3 players vs 4 players...
Thanks Kaori for the reply and your vote.

in all honesty i prefer a running total, but clearly we'll have to change the scoring system if this is the case, or a running total would be hugely unfair.
Well, could be, but I think a minimum of 3 pilots per team is better. I don't think race 2 vs 2 is properly for a world cup with national teams. But for now, I think the formula is quiet good, unfortunately (and obviously) there are some pilots that can't race everyday, but doesn't matter, this is not a world cup, this is the world cup :D ... So, maybe a team must challenge in 4 days 4 races, one after the after, but doesn't matter, this is the competition of the strongest and fastest pilots around, so... You want it? Good, take the time for it! And I speak by our little team, we are 5-6 pilots available and of course if someone is missing, we can't race... Doesn't matter, we must race another day, maybe one race after the other, but again, this is THE wipeout world cup :D
Another element to the suggestion was that we take the month to try to organise and complete the 4v4 matches, and then at the end of the month have a "clean-up" period where everyone has to have their matches, whether they are only 3v3 or 2v2. This is a kind of plan B that could work. I still think this World Cup is really a first crack at the tournament from which to learn lessons for future tournaments. So it's probably the best time to experiment with an alternate plan if needed.
In terms of the points system - to be honest I'm not a huge fan of the current system where the total racing points decide the winner of the group because potentially Team A could win more matches than Team B and still lose on points. Doesn't seem right.
Good idea Saturn, it's better.
I explain : tomorrow, 3 of our best players won't be able to race against North America. It will be unfair if I ask to our 7th & 8th player no play, because I will believe we have more chance to win with 3vs3 tournament !
massively unlikely youd win more and not go through, but whatever you guys want.
3 points for a win it is.
Absolutely under no circumstances should 2v2 be allowed.
A Punishment should be instituted for the team that needs to get 3 players for WWC. I dont see Soccer leagues cattering to teams with less members.
Im undecided on the new point system. it has equal pros and cons.
