Wipeout World Cup 2009

[EPSILON]

The least we can say is that the idea of organizing a World Cup is far from indifferent and let the contrary would have surprised.

I'm very Proud to collect as much enthusiasm.

But talking specifically :

1/ In fact, The first step is to Know Which countries are participating in this event !

Off course, England sure (tell me how many racers would join the Worldcup) France too (Idem), Australia (idem), Netherland (idem), Japan (???), etc...

To Simply, it was a good thing to Choose Country spokeman, a man who represent the country and tell the number of team (4 racer/Team)

2/ Organization :

once the first step is completed, we will organize the pool for different races and playoff qualifiers. then the 16th final, 8th Final, quarter-final etc ...
I can make a Board like Football World Cup.

But first of all I would like to know precisely the teams of each country and the names of the pilots. After we notify ^^

Sorry for my bad english again, i try my best and google traduction is not the best

Ps For example the list of French Racers :

- Kanar
- EPSILON
- Nyctalopian
- Spoon
- Kaori
- Leungbok
- Kingheim
- AKRO2
- Kut59
- Le_trou_noir
- Wotan
- Expitarius
- Sami_fr
- Spartiate
- R-13A

etc....I think you can create 2 Team/country (TeamFR1, TeamFR2)

@Kanar : Explain me your teaser idea ^^

[SaturnReturn]

Perhaps it would be good for this to have it's own board, either within the zone forums or external. It definitely requires more than one thread to organise properly I think. Either it's own board with an individual thread for each team where players can register etc - or maybe the other teams should create a social group as per Team England, Team France, etc. This would seem sensible as a few teams already exist.

[EPSILON]

Sure SaturnRetrun, but not impossible ^^

Also, I can create few thread on Play3-live Forum, One thread/Country. but i hope we find a other solution

[blackwiggle]

Well that would be up to each country to make it's own group message board within the zone forum,which most of the larger areas have already.

If a particular area has the ability to divide into smaller,separate entities,[say team ANZAC wants to have a Australian and a New Zealand team ]they should keep those under the same banner,otherwise I can see a lot of sections opening up that will ultimately end up as dead spaces within the teams forum after the event.
Team UK,with England ,Scotland,Wales...Ireland?

With the teams that have a high amount of pilots,ok ,have a team "A" and "B",but make it so that ONLY team "A" is in the actual WC,let all the "B' teams fight out their own sub tournament,otherwise it's it's like having an extra attempt over the other countries and that is clearly not fair.

So whats needed is IMHO.

1]Each individual country has a spokes person,they are in charge of their country and all trials/race offs to decide their team[s]

2]A time frame to allow the gathering together and final choice of each countries team[s] [allowing racing time]

3]A "HEAD" of the WORLD CUP TOURNAMENT [a Seth Blatter] who will
[a]Conduct the draws to see who plays who.
[b]If the country is either home or away[home decides final racing time [within reason] and hosts]
All this could be video captured and posted on YOUTUBE.

4]Have a clearly defined set of rules that all agree on regarding possible technical/default situations that might occur.
Players not showing up/waiting time allowed before compulsory start,servers going down ,etc.

5]Decision on possible penalty situations [I'm sure somebody will come up with something] and what/how that penalty will be carried out.

6] If team colours are to be used [away team decides if they want to race in CHROME or not,other team have to abide this call]

Those are just a few rudimentary ideas that I think would need to be taken into consideration.

[EPSILON]

Fisrt i need a Translator Anybody ?

You're right ! Your rudimetary idas are Fondamental.

1] Ok, This spokes person is more simply if we had some organization problem or questions etc...

2]I'm not sure to correctly understand your post. You talk about time before the race where the pilot come to the wipeoutRoom (windows who host can select track and the other the craft) ?
About time, If the Race start at 21HOO (GMT Paris), pilot waits 10 Minutes max, PS3 message can tell or invite absentees.


3] save the races with VIDEO is a great way to review the courses (In ASTRAL, SaturnReturn Record it ^^) and especially to show other teams weaknesses and strengths of each and to entertaint

4] I Work on it.

5] Idem 4]

6] Personnal Country Skin would be excellent but it's just a dream ^^ WipeoutHD can't. But the Wipeout HD SKin must be Free, each country choose simply.

[TheFrostE]

Il jump in for the US team

[blackwiggle]

Here is what I have just posted at the Aus/NZ Playstation forum.
Anybody that might be trying to muster a team together might want to word it like this in thier own tounge to gather interest.

There has been very little input from Wipeout HD players at this forum since before Xmas.

I just wanted to give a general HEADS UP to all those that might of just recently got the game and to those who have been busy racing but not posting.

There is a Wipeout HD WORLD CUP being organised [There is a REAL TROPHY going to the winning team]

This will be an yearly event with the trophy passed on [or kept] by the winning team.

It is being organised by the WIPEOUTZONE.

This website for all things wipeout has been going since 2002 and has many of the Top Studio Liverpool design team as forum members,quite a few members have helped in the design and playability of the game you are playing now.

A general call to arms for a TEAM AUSTRALIA and a TEAM NEW ZEALAND

What we are asking is for anybody that is interested,knows somebody that might be,has raced somebody that could be, eligiable to race for either of these teams.

It is in early stages of organisation ATM.

We are looking for pilots,speed class does not matter [I'm assuming that a team can be mustered for each speed class from each nation]

A trial competition will be organized by the head of the individual nations to determine which racers race for their countries and at which speed level [a contest within a contest]

This will determine the final team selection that will play in the WORLD CUP.

Don't be shy,a good plazma bolt up the ring of the person infront can win you the race,so can a gravity wave decimate the front running field just before you pass them by to take the win.

Please direct any interest in this tournament by becoming members of the wipeoutzone and mentioning this thread as an introduction in the "Pilots Lounge" area of the forum.

Hope to see you there,the more the merrier.

Which doesn't make sense, at all

[blackwiggle]

Can you sort it then please as I know you type French 777.
I'll delete the above and show a thread that I have just started at the AUS/NZ Playstation forum instead.
How to get others involved and make it HUGE.
We should have a WC for each speed ,then a lot more would be interested.
Well that's what I've alluded to so we get a bigger reaction.
Organizing that won't pose any more problems than just Phantom speed.

[OBH]

what an excellent idea!
you could get so many zoners in one event.

im all for this

[blackwiggle]

Just make it a practice of telling every person on your "Players Met" list that this comp is happening.
My usual one ATM has been.[I have wipeoutzone.com entered into my dictionary so I don't have to type it each time]

Join the wipeoutzone.com and check it out.

Got 2 bites out of 7 so far.

[Wellington86]

It looks like your idea has gone down well EPSILON, which is good, because I think it's a great idea.

Lol at getting a real trophy. The winners will have to agree upon a period that they can each display it in their trophy cabinets .

[Darkdrium777]

Post of blackwiggle, in Francais pl0x

Les pays participants devraient créer leur propre section dans le forum (NDLR: Groupes sociaux / Social groups), certains pays l'ont déjÃ* fait.

Si une région particulière désire se diviser en plus petits groupes (Par exemple la team ANZAC désire se diviser en Australie et Nouvelle Zélande), je pense qu'elle devrait quand même rester sous la même bannière, sinon beaucoup de sections risquent de s'ouvrir dans le forum et pourraient ne servir Ã* rien une fois la compétition terminée (NDLR: Les groupes sociaux peuvent être fermés par le créateur je pense / Social groups can be close by the creator I believe)

Avec les équipes qui ont un grand nombre de pilotes, la subdivision en équipe A et équipe B est possible, sauf que seule une des deux équipes devrait avoir la possibilité de participer Ã* la compétition, l'autre équipe participerait dans son propre sous-tournoi, autrement c'est injuste pour les pays qui n'ont pas le même nombre de pilotes.

Ce qui est nécessaire IMHO:

1) Chaque pays a une personne affectée Ã* la gestion de l'équipe, cette personne s'occupe des courses de qualification et d'essai lors de la formation des équipes.

2) Un horaire acceptable pour réunir les pilotes des équipes et permettre aux courses de se dérouler.

3) Un chef de la coupe qui doit:
a) décider de ce qui se produira lors des égalités
b) décider si le pays est ''visiteur'' ou ''local'', local décidant de l'horaire des courses (De façon raisonnable) et les hôtes des sessions
Tout pourrait être capturé en vidéo et posté sur Youtube.

4) Avoir des règles bien définies et que tout le monde a accepté advenant des situations exceptionnelles, comme des joueurs ne se présentent pas aux courses, etc.

5) Décisions sur des pénalités possibles et comment ces pénalités seront mises en application.

6) Si des couleurs d'équipe doivent être utilisées (Comme l'équipe ''visiteur'' courant en skin chromé, ou pas, etc.)

Ce ne sont que quelques idées qui je pensent devraient être considérées
