You mean Dark-phantom could be back on the fight ? :eek :cold
Well at Wimbledon Ichigo would be injured & Hellfire would advance to next round; but what about organising one or maybe more death brigades (between eliminated pilots) during avalon next week-end, and qualify the best pilot of this competition? I'm sure Hellfire would like to have to tough round instead of passing through like that.
The problem like mic-dk mentions is that anything we do will cause a delay.
It can be a small delay if for example it's a four-men tournament from the best of the eliminated ones.
It can be a long delay if we choose a 32 men tournament between each of the eliminated.
There will be no delay if we get either the next on the waiting list or if Ichigo concedes victory. Or he manages to find another machine to play on. He still has time until round 2 after all, plus the time to play round 2.
Maybe we worry about this too much, if he sends his PS3 to service now, count a month for the repairs and he'll still be in for round 2. It will be very tight of course but I think there can be an exception. Of course that means that whoever would win between Hellfire and Ichigo should be ready for round 3 immediately after the round 2 match is played.
Of course I'm saying one month for the repairs, but I'm hoping it's gonna be shorter. Here's a good read about repair time.
Edit: There's a lot of "of course" in here. :| /offtopic rant about my ability to write English.
Pity about his ps3, I think mine's going to go any moment.
What about giving DialgiX another chance in another first round match against a new competitor, I know there were others who wanted to enter but couldn't. It may be the simplest way forward.
Well I'll see if Ichigo is def. out or if he's planning a quick repair. You're right Darkdrium, he could finally play his round 2 after all.
But if he can't make it, I think the easiest way to find a fair replacement would be to offer this seat during avalon : we're working on the name, sept. 17/18/19. Depending on the number of eliminated pilots interested in, we could organise a single or more ellaborated tourney... Or just offer the seat to this upcoming avalon mvp (if he's not already qualified lol). We still have time to deal with this issue nicely anyway.
EDIT : Well I was way too much reactive regarding this issue lol, Ichigo will be get himself another ps3 real soon, so everything's ok now, no need _for now_ to think about this possible death brigade something qualifying you for round 2 during next avalon.
Done and dusted, Kanar. If you're out, or you wanted to get into the cup, this is where to go.Quote:

ah ah good job Challenger, but sadly there's no free spots for the moment , as Ichigo could finally attend to round 2. But this is a nice initiative cos' everything can happen in the next rounds anyway.
So, the waiting list still remains active for round 1, and the reservoir dogs will be active for the next rounds.
Damn, sorry man. D: I guess I acted too soon. I'll keep RD up though - in any case, I'm planning to try and host a Zone Battle tournament in the new year, so a bit of experience never hurts. :nod
Which will be the pre-defined round 7 for top 32 ?
Well let's take same challenger's choice in the reservoir dogs cup, as Rapier Race, Vineta K Rev, Weapons On, Barrel Roll On.
So I repeat, for the people who want to play their round 2 already :
Round 7: Rapier Race, Vineta K Rev, Weapons On, Barrel Roll On

I don't think it's really been resolved yet, so just wanted to explain why I really don't like this idea of people re-entering the cup, or entering at later stages. For many reasons:
1. This wasn't in the rules at the start. It's a knockout competition so I think that premise should be maintained.
2. Someone in the 3rd round simply should have been in the 1st and 2nd round.
3. Yes it's a fun competition, but given that there are real tangible prizes, I think it's unfair for some people to potentially have more chances to win them.
4. No matter how 'unlucky' it may seem to get drawn against a good pilot, this tournament is very flexible, and players have the chance to catch even the best player off guard by making careful track and mode choices.
5. People may not like to say it now, but I think if we're all honest, we'd feel a bit hard done by if we earned our place in a certain round against competitor A, and then got beat by competitor B, especially if that competitor was the victor of a different competition, who could in theory in the final of this one had they registered on time.
6. What would be the achievement in winning after being knocked out, and what would be the meaning of it all? People seem to be suggesting that a player might not feel that they progressed fairly if it was without having played someone in a particular round, but that would be exactly the case for the player entering half way through, only in that case it could be without having played 2 or three rounds.
7. It's all getting a bit complicated if we start doing this isn't it? What then happens if the replacement can't make it, etc etc etc? I feel it's good to apply the KISS principle for these kinds of things.
So yeah, if, for example, player A loses to player B in round 2, but can't make round 3, then either player B should take his place, or the opponent should progress to round 4 automatically. Personally, I think those are the only two fair options now that the competition has already started. Perhaps even toss a coin to decide which one to do this time around. We can see if the outcome works well and then lessons learned can be applied to the next Avalon Cup.
As for the RD competition - well it could still be good to do it, but if it were to go ahead I would do this:
Host it as a more competition which involves less commitment, both for those who missed out here and/or couldn't commit to this full competition. It could be a one-on-one league that lasts the duration of the Avalon Cup. Then, when the AC final has been played the winner of the RD competition could challenge the AC winner to a kind of exhibition, or champion's match against each other at the end. I would personally love to see that happen.
Anyway, just wanted to share my opinions on it (again). :P
i dont agree with new players entering the cup for all the reasons saturn states.
i dont think it is fair if a player advances to the next round without playing due to a drop out from the cup either.
i think it is a good idea for players eliminated from the round previous to have a shot at re-entry if a slot becomes vacant.
provided they were eliminated from the previoud round ie someone filling a semi finalist spot must have been a quarter finalist elimination not a first round elimination.
this also balances up for really bad luck of a lousy match ups too and as anyone can be eliminated the option is open to all to re-enter the cup provided of course there is a drop out and i hope there is not.
obviously the best players in the cup have the edge as they are more likely to re-enter but then who wants a rubbish champion who got lucky and never earned there prize.
thats my oppinion and not a dictation and i also respect others oppinions too. im sure kanar will make the best desision for maximum fun games for all.:nod
this isnt tennis or wimbeldon so we can make up our rules that make game more fun if
i dont care what they do in wimbeldon cos this is not tennis
Kiss principle... Awesome, learned something new there. Saturn thanks for this input, and well I'll tend to agree with you. But I was just thinking about the best way to fix a round 2 or later possible withdrawal. Obviously, I can't use the waiting list after round 1. So if **** happens, I thought the best idea would be to qualify the best eliminated pilot of the previous round, determined by challenger's RD competition. So we could say the qualified pilot will come back from hell 8). Anyway, everything's ok so far, Ichigo will have a new ps3 soon so no worries.
Hacene & Luri; thanks for your reports! Luri & Rob, really hope to see you soon on the tracks, and maybe for the next cup :P!

@Saturn - I totally agree !
Infoxicated played with BR on ? :eek
Very much agree w/ Leungbok, who agrees w/ Sat :D
Definately prefer Wimbledon (although I´m not too fond of tennis - only tabletennis!) to Big Brother ...
Later on some kind of league would be a great idea, since I presume all of us had lots of fun - even if we won or lost :nod
I was under the impression that the Comeback thread was just for fun. I have no intention of entering the Avalon Cup again.
It initially was for fun, but given that there's a lot of worry about whether or not it's possible to get back into the tournament I'm gong to close the idea of comeback to the tournament in my thread. It's still for fun - whomever goes through will be the discretion of Kanar from now on.
Sorry I tried to hijack your thread, man. :/
no no no Challenger no worries, to the contrary I'm really happy to see lots of discussions regarding competitions! Always good to see the community working hands in hands. So no need to facepalm ourselves on that matter, Ichigo is back, hopefully we won't have another YLOD or I'll lend my own ps3 to the unfortunate pilot who could suffer this infamy lol.
We're about to enter in the round 1 deadline btw, so hope you guys have all planned your meeting next week or before!
People qualified for round 2 can already set up their meeting btw.

Storm won on the 6th round,but we played round 7 anyway.Its been nice racing against you and I wish you the best of luck in the upcoming races against XBARNSTERX.
Maybe you could highlight the eliminated players in red and the advanced pilots in green?
I would suggest fading out the eliminated players' names in a grey text, but then the jpeg is kind of low res so that might not show up too well.
Anyway here are the results of ID_ArsNova vs. SaturnReturn:
1 sebenco rev 8 laps------------------Saturn wins
2 chenghou forward weps off----------Saturn wins
3 ubermall forward 6 laps--------------Saturn wins
4 sol 2 rev----------------------------Saturn wins
5 amhiseum 12 laps--------------------Saturn wins
6 cheng rev---------------------------Saturn wins
7 anulpha pass rapier------------------Saturn wins
Saturn 7 - 0 ID_ArsNova
All races are standard phantom weps on races unless stated otherwise.
We did our match a lot earlier than initially planned as we were both online already. Nova postponed a flu jab for an hour or so to do the races, which was kind of her. She's an excellent sport and no doubt will be getting ever faster before the next competition, so everyone watch out.:twisted
I hope you recorded it ;)
Nope. I put my PVR away in its box some time ago, because I was semi-retired. ;) But I'm playing again a little now, so if I get far in the competition I'll consider setting it up again.
but did not perform one (on purpose) until we were on Anulpha.Quote:

I quite enjoyed the racing, even if I was no competition at all.
I'm really glad you enjoyed this Rob. Was an honour to have you in this cup, and I really hope you'll be up for the next one!
I want to thank to all the pilots who joined my room yesterday. it was good to play again but... after Sebenco F, my finger started to bleed :( maybe i shouldn't play soon but... with a comunity like this, its hard to not get envolved with online play :)
ps. Kanar, you should try to play wipeout with painkillers lolol XD
