Big thanks to everyone involved. Especially JJPAP for suggesting it to me; R3BU5ER for standing in for Yeldar2097; and machiasu for being standby for the Nordics. Without guys who are patient and willing to be standby things like this can sometimes be difficult to arrange and pull-off successfully. Apologies to FrenkyV, we'll get you in a game with the Dutchmen soon my friend.

Finally a massive well done to Team Nordic. Looking at detailed results will show anyone how close it was and what an awesome comeback took place.

We will meet again - and next time the Dutch will have their revenge!!!

THE FLYING DUTCHMEN vs. TEAM NORDIC
SUNDAY THE 22nd OF FEBRUARY 2009 - 18.30 GMT

The Flying Dutchmen:
SaturnReturn - Luxoflux (aka jaller65, add both as friends) - AnErare - FrenkyV - (Reserve/Stand-by: R3BU5ER)

Team Nordic:
Soccermums - Golgofier - Zoth-Ommog - JJPAP - (Reserve/Stand-by: machiasu)

Be sure to be on each others PSN-friendlist.

1st Round:
Hosted by SaturnReturn. 8 tracks Forward. Phantom. Weapons On.

2nd Round:
Hosted by Soccermums. 8 tracks Reverse. Phantom. Weapons On.

RULES:
1. All races will be single races (to eliminate the risk of major network errors during a long tournament).
2. If a wiper disconnects during a race: Just too bad (nothing we can really do about it). We´ll try to "pick" him up for the next race, of course.
3. You´re only allowed to use the same ship during the 16 races.
4. Skin doesn´t matter, choose whatever you like.
5. The points of all wipers count.

Please make a note of your placement in all the 16 races - in case something happens to the video recordings done by JJPAP and SaturnReturn.

LET´S HAVE FUN!

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

To all members of either Team Nordic and the Flying Dutchmen social groups:

JJPAP has suggested a friendly matchup between our two 'teams'. This will obviously be just for fun (and also bragging rights for anyone who is that way inclined). I don't think anyone has selected a World Cup team yet but I guess if you intend to participate in the WC then this could be a good test/warmup.

I've never arranged anything like this before but I would suggest that all those interested should declare their interest in this thread so that all can see it. In addition, please state your availability over the next 3 weekends (Feb 14th-15th, Feb 21st-22nd, Feb28th-March1st). Then we can see if there are enough players who are available on any one day.

EDIT:
Preliminary time and date set for Sunday 22nd February 2009, 1830-2030 hrs GMT
16 Races - All tracks forward and reverse once - Weapons on
Please all let us know if you can make this time or not.

Players interested so far (confirmed for 22nd Feb in green, unconfirmed in red):

The Flying Dutchmen
SaturnReturn---Yeldar 2097---AnErare---Luxoflux
Mad-Ice


Team Nordic
JJPAP---Zoth-Ommog---chaos80---machiasu---mic-dk900---Soccermums
Criz-87

I'll start - I'm available any weekend but currently not 21st (Mad-Ice, what's happening with that?)

If there are too many participants for one game then we can split into two.

I hope we can pull this off without too much difficulty

EDIT:
My thinking for this was WipEout HD only, but if you have a psp and pure and/or pulse then state your interest in a PSP game too. That can act as a first step for someone to arrange a PSP match if there is sufficient interest.
