Right well I've had enough of online for five years, not going to waste my breath screaming at bull****.
Not participating anymore, don't count on me. I'll stick to AI, at least stuff doesn't randomly happen with them on screen.
It blows, but I've had enough. Until something is done about laggy bombs don't count on me for any races.

Well, though I was born and raised in the USA, I'm actually 100% Portuguese, so I'd like to volunteer to fly for Team Portugal if that will help to even things out at all. I'll leave it up to you World Cup Organizers...Portugal or USA...either is fine with me.Originally Posted by KIGO1987

2nd solution, I Update my first post when You add some new pilotEPSILON: Have you taken control of the list or am I still updating mate.

Well i am not bothered either way EPISLON, though it makes more sense to have the list on page one. So if you want to do it then great, kind of silly doing it twice. I won't take offense.
By the way do you steer while Nyctalopian takes the airbreaks?

I personally favour Osama's system with the knockout style table. It might not be the fairest system but it'll be the most efficient.
I do have another idea to bring to the table, it is the idea of a tournament/league hybrid. Instead of going straight to a knockout where teams can get eliminated with only racing once, it'll give everyone a chance to score points and the teams with the most points move onto the knockout stage. I think this could be much fairer on the 'weaker' teams and still give every team a chance at the title. But with this would come lots of organisation and could potentially be very time consuming. I'm thinking of something like this with a knockout stage to finish it of the highest scoring teams.
Maybe more awesome trailers could entice more people to join in.
I've attached a visualisation of my idea courtesy of Osama's already made table. There would be 15 races if every team raced each other, points would be awarded for a win or a draw. Very similar to a football league but with a knockout final. This is just an example and could do with some more thought, but I hope you get the general idea. The points on the table are not intended to favour anyone in particular, except for maybe Team England.

EPSILON: Which bit do you not understand?

This one "By the way do you steer while Nyctalopian takes the airbreaks?"

What about the list though, It is up to date as of today.
If you would like to do it that is fine, I will delete the one on page 10. As I said It makes more sense being the first post on Page 1, and not hidden away where we can't find it.
Maybe it's: You are the weapons man, while your workmate is in charge of thrust and direction.

im amazed no one else has posted an image outlaying their idea for how this should.
im not saying this needs to take place next week, but please, please, lets not leave this dead in the water.
Extreme Pilot
Don't be surprised Osama, I already did! Looks that it was overlooked. I was thinking of combining that with your idea.
Another thing we should be thinking of doing is a loser's bracket. If a team got knocked early on then they could still get a chance against the other losing teams. It would be a mini tournament for the losing teams or something similar.

+1 For the USA! USA! USA!

I've started preparing a thread which I think desparately needs to happen. But I don't want to post in case I'm stepping on toes. I'm hoping that if all goes according to plan that the proposed thread text can be viewed here:
Proposed thread at GoogleDocs
If enough people second the motion then I will edit the thread to make it as short as possible and post it soon. What do folks think?
Veteran Pilot
That covers the basics.
I'll second it.
I really think we should use Connavars records site as a basis for rankings,it will cut out SO MUCH stuffing about with qualifications.
Just make it that those wishing to race in the World Cup have to have a certain minimum amount of records entered in the system.
What the minimum requirements would be to make ranking appropriate I'll leave open for further input from the forum members.

That looks very good SaturnReturn. I am in, anyway, anyhow.

It's time to Take some descision about this Fantastic EVent !
I'll tell you the truth
I Want that this EVENT must be organize with best condition with best organizer.
My big problem here, is the language, in fact I have some difficulty to understand correctly in detail some post here.
And the WorldCup Buzz is not a joke, not a wind but it is REAL and this is why it is important to take the best descision about it !
This is Why I will delegate to members organiganiqation more able than me.
I Love Wipeout and It very Important to continue organizing the best this EVent with best possible conditions.
you have all participated in the development of this Worlccup and I do not live up to pursue it as I would like. Google traduction is a base but it is not enough for me to organize seriously.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
New organizer is :
- Mad Ice
- Kanar
- Osama (I wait his answer)
- EPSILON (I try my best)
and off course I'm not abandon this Worldcup but I want to appoint people to the challenge and especially skilled and at ease with English.
Now It's time to choose the best way, the best form of organization !
I hope you undersdtand my point of view of delegate it.
WorldCup must live and lived !
If you have some problem, I propose to organize a big meeting between the organizers to make the best decisions and define the rules in detail.
to begin to be concrete, I propose to set a date (for details of this World Cup) in April ^^
