At the moment there are only 4 countries participating in the World Wipeout Cup 2009.

Team England
Team France
Team Nordic
The Flying Dutchmen

I have made a sketch for the tournament organisation. SaturnReturn is helping me out with a nice presentation for it. But we need more national teams in this WWC 2009. You can only participate when you have officially registrated in the thread made for it.

Come on pilots all over the world, get your ass in here.

Well, if I understand correctly, each country is required to register as a team, which would essentially require someone from a particular country to step up and recruit/organize for their country...is that right? If so, I think that's why you're seeing a lack of registrants. I mean, I know I would love to be involved, and I expressed as much in the official registration thread (before it was made clear you had to register as a team), but I have no interest in any additional responsibilities other than simply showing up to compete when races are scheduled. I have a feeling many others feel the same way, hence the lack of participation. Now the question is how to solve this dilemma?

[SaturnReturn]

Every team needs a leader. Someone just needs to show the initiative. If you don't have the time to commit to organizing everone else then you just need to go find someone else who is willing and able. There are relatively fewer players in the US than Europe so you guys have it a bit tougher when it comes to putting together a team, but I'm sure there must be someone willing to take up the leadership role.

isnt hard. start a social group - invite loads of your country - pm them - see whos interested.

we'll do the rest

[Mad-Ice]

I have send PMs to all team leaders of the remaining national teams. Team Italy, team AU-NZ, team USA, team Canada. We are waiting for your registration!!

I do not know who to ask for the Japanese team? But I also want them to participate. Furthermore, am I forgetting a national team?

Come on all Wipers of the world we wanna race you!

[Wotan]

i saw some great pilots with poland ,german and austria flag . Maybe they are able to complete a team

[Mad-Ice]

Oh yes of course, how could I have missed those countries?

Anyway, thanks Wotan.

So we want these teams to register:

Team Italy
Team AU-NZ
Team USA
Team Canada
Team Japan
Team Austria
Team Germany
Team Poland

The problem exists that nobody has posted the rules and who will arbitrate .

This is a BIG problem with the current online problems various people are suffering.

It still seems a bit Ad Hoc atm.

Please link me and others to the final decision "post" [if there is one] on how/who/when this WC is supposed to be run .

Who is the team leader for USA???

[RJ O'Connell]

Apparently it's me that is in charge of Team USA at the moment, but honestly, I'm terrible when it comes to organizing for these types of events. I'd appreciate it if someone else could take over and select a team (or devise a good qualifying method to form a team).

[LOUDandPROUD]

See what I'm sayin?

[Mad-Ice]

I sent PMs to the team leaders. They are the ones that started their social group. Everyone is responsible for registration or not. We were supposed to start this event in June. But we still don't have enough teams. Registration will close on the last day of June 2009.

I will make sure the final rules and the overview of who will fight who, will be presented asap.

[stin]

I will let you know ASAP!

[rdmx]

kigo or kyoto or blackwiggle, you guys wanna take charge of organising this?

[blackwiggle]

KIGO is holding the torch,and he's trying to get people motivated and organized but we either seem to generally short of players atm or a complete lack of response from those he has messaged.
I'm trying to get some others to join the zone through the AUS/NZ PS forum,but they all seem to be of the opinion that they aren't good enough to compete in the WC ,which they are probably right unfortunately.

[KIGO1987]

Getting alot of Vista responses from people these days. Ill get back into after ive done the last of these exams.

Just going to put at the end whoever really wants to race, ive got a fair idea who the main contenders are.

[OBH]

all the japanese pilots were really enthusiastic about it when we first mentioned the idea. surely they're up for it?

Cant not have them involved, when hes on fire reach-big7 is a mad man

[yeldar2097]

and they shoot like snipers too
they've defs got enough for a great team: Aka Sho, heinz-ketchup, HISHOJP, reach-big7, hn9354 etc....

[OBH]

Oh yeah! I remembered thinking hn9354 was one of the fastest harimau pilots id ever come up against
