Wipeout World Cup 2009

[blackwiggle]

This needs to be [I hate to sound like a 2 bit group motivator] ,but some "Pro Active" people, driving to get each team mates to race for each country.

I see nothing of the kind ATM.

Don't let this lapse into a non event.

It needs participation from the forum members to get this thing happening.

A PUSH is needed.

Do IT.

[kaori]

lol I am motivated but I'm french too, I like to know if France is allowed to have two teams or not, and what happens for UK team / England Team / Great Britain Team (same question for Connavar's ranking website)?

[rdmx]

They'd have to be on the same side of the draw so there isn't two french teams facing off against each other in the final - that'd just be anticlimax

[kanar]

Kaori, I think it's better to have at least 5 substitutes (and a team of around 9 players). We all have a real life & obligations. Regarding the teams involved, maybe we could start the process by creating national teams in the social group, like the flying dutchmen & Italy did recently. Of course INFAXSU should leave the ANZAC team & join a future TEAM USA lol (some kind of pilot migration/social group clarification is needed) I've heard a Japanese team is on its way, sounds good. But sadly, we have a real life to manage too.

For Blackwiggle:
Yeah, you´re right. Something has to happen. (I think Epsilon´s idea is too brilliant to be forgotten).
At the moment we´re trying to put together a Team Nordic (at the moment participants from Finland, Sweden and Denmark - check out the user-created group Team Nordic if you´re interested).
Zoners from Norway, Iceland and Faroe Islands are more than welcome too.
This World Cup-event could be perfect if a lot of countries participate.
Uptill now, I´ve seen only France, England and The Netherlands start talking about making teams.
Where´s Germany, USA, Canada, Italy, Spain, South Africa, etc.?
User-created groups are a a good place to start "collecting" racers, making country/area-specific race-sessions and - when the time comes - make selections on who will participate on the team for the specific country/area.
By the way: Is there any way to do a search on member-nationality at wipeoutzone?

[RedScar]

If Canada needs some racers then add me in. School still take priority but just give me a time and place and I should beable to make it.

[OBH]

A good start would be a massive list of what nationality people are so we know whos who.

Yes. My Uni year starts in a few weeks. Gotta concentrate more this time round. Everyone will need to talk about what times suit each other around there real life timetables.

Yes Blackwiggle. Enthusiasm is needed here, alot for this even to start snowballing.

We need a chatbox on WipeoutZone like in WipeoutArena so its alot more easier to organise times for these sort of events.

INFAXSU you can piss off to the US again. lol. He should create a USA social group while he still can have the opportunity to be the Social Group leader, before someone else gets the opportunity.

So what teams do we currently have? Correct me on this so we can get an idea as a whole of how many teams will participate;

Team France
Team England (Team Britian, Team UK???)
Team ANZAC, features Australia and New Zealand
Team Nordic
Team NAWTY (maybe it can be segregated into 2 teams, 1 USA, 2 Canada)
Team Japan
Team Miscellaneous (The one or two races from the lesser Wipeout populated nations can congrigate together to make one universal team, like that guy from China, the one from South America and Swift from South Africa)

Well in your post you copied two teams which are not in your list!

The flying Dutchmen are preparing their races to form the fastest team out there We will have substitutes too!

Proposal:

To determine the fastest racers of a country, I think you'll have to fly all tracks from HD with weapons on and with weapons off. So in total you will fly 32 races which will give you your total points. The 4 fastest pilots will form the country team.

If all the teams are formed we can choose to let all the teams fight each other or we can make pools of teams, just like in football.

Because it is the first time we are going to arrange this world wide tournament I think every team should have equal changes to fight all other teams and not being eliminated at once when they fight the dutch team

Actually we can begin the national selection

12 Races Weapons should suffise, We can also include 12 Races no Weapons but I think 3 Rounds of 12 courses with weapons would be ideal, The 4 Fatest pilots become the Official Team of a Country, the others pilots become substitutes of the Official Team.

For example, In France, We have Many Pilots betwenn Wipeout ArEna and Play3-live, We can Organize a Tournament to Begin this national Selection.

At the end, we communicate here the result of this qualification by a Official List a 4 Fastest Country Pilots and the others Substitutes too.

it would be best to give a timely for this Selection, Beginning of March the national selections must be completed and posted on this thread.

[KIGO1987]

Well in your post you copied two teams which are not in your list!

Which ones are they? Most of these teams on this list are official as well as there are some unofficial ones also, which are a suggestion. Just changed the list then. Now what other teams are still out there? It'll good to have an even number of teams.

Right here is the list again, with new edit:

Team ANZAC (Official)
Team Canada (Suggestion)
Team England (Official)
Team France (Official)
Team Flying Dutchmen (Official)
Team Japan (Suggestion)
Team Nordic (Official)
Team Miscellaneous A (Suggestion)
Team Miscellaneous B (Suggestion)
Team USA (Suggestion)

Let me know of ideas or changes, so this list can be constantly updated.

[djKyoto]

In all honestly, I could see france and maybe one or two other nations needing to do this, getting four in the first place in reality is the first task.

Nations that have more than 4 good players could always have 1 or more of there players going into the Miscellaneous along with a few mixtures. That could keep people happy

Together those races are 36, so even more then I suggested and in this way you have to some tracks more then others. Still I think to find the fastest pilots of the world is to fly every track two times in total 32 races. 16 with weapons on and 16 with weapons off.

At KIGO: In your first post you forgot: The Flying Dutchmen and The Italien Flyers

Ok no problem, 16 Races With Weapons and 16 Races weapons off, Perfect !

I tell to Kanar and Kaori to Organize this Qualification.

@Kigo1987 : Perfect job so we have 12 Official Country for this Wipeout Worldcup 2009 (for the moment)

@Aka-sho : Good news, Japan love Wipeout, France Love Japan ^^

i dont like the idea of countries battling themselves to determine the team. not everyone is available at same time anyway.

countries should have a squad of 4 / 8 or 9 pilots and pick amoung themselves whos playing.

if countris like FRA or ENG have too many players split them up. im half scottish, and would proudly be in a team GB if we have many other scottish or irish pilots if sure you french have some heritage elsewhere.

we should have a league then knockout (ie football world cup) so each team can have a good number of races before people start getting knocked out.

world tournaments are rarely settled in one day, and thisll be fantastic. im happy to built up points over the days and add more tension

[stin]

yes, we have few scottish players but not much!

We try to find a better solution to select the best pilots to represent country but nothing is definitve, everything remains to be done
