North American Team WO Team

[RedScar]

I've very game for this, don't know how well I will do against that list of other great racers but I'll toss my self at the challenge anyway.

[Darkdrium777]

I have to remove my candidacy, as something has occurred at the personal level which will most likely occupy most of my time for the following days. I'm sorry.
Good luck to all the participants.

[TarotCardKiller]

DD777 I'm sorry to hear that. I hope everything works out for you.

I added you to the list RedScar. As the registration deadline nears, would it be alright with you guys to do the qualifiers Monday or Tuesday ? 8PM EST either day work out great as it'll probably take 2/3 hours at the max depending whether or not we're doing all 16 tracks each tourney. We'll make arrangements if there are conflicts. I'll continue to keep the list updated and accurate.

[BlochNWhitey]

I'll have to try to rush home from work then if it's Tuesday, I should be okay on Monday though.

[Vartazian]

Monday and Tuesday dont work for me, Wednesday would be much prefered.

[LOUDandPROUD]

Those days/times work fine for me.

[RedScar]

Being unemployed leaves those days open for me, but lately my internet has been on its period so to speak. Fingers crossed that it works. Send me some friend requests if you can, I have like 1 WO-Zoner on it.

[DividedXZero]

I would prefer Tuesday/ or Wednesday if that's still an option. But Monday (today) isnt available to me. I'm in central time btw, so any time after 5 pm is good for me.

[Cerium]

Sorry for the late reply (Just got back from Origins ), but I can give this a shot; assuming I've not already missed it.

I'm in central time, and so long as I know about the event in advance I can probably make it.

[RedScar]

so when is this happening TCK

[TarotCardKiller]

I think it has to be postponed for a few days due to the short notice and a blurry date. Sorry guys.

I spoke with Mad Ice and he gave the go ahead for this weekend. I found my mistake last time was not being clear on a date/procedure. This Friday at 9PMEST sound good ? Let's decide it by tomorrow/Wednesday to make the date concrete giving ample time to prepare.

In the qualifiers, we'll see who wants to participate at the time of the tourney. A pre emptive list will help. If there are more than 8, then we'll decide the groups by splitting them down the middle in alphabetical order. 16 tracks each tourney should be sufficient as it is the weekend if you guys don't mind 32 races.

Lets get the date/time settled quick! For those of you that don't reply, I'll send you a PM tomorrow to make sure you're aware. Sorry about the hassle guys.

[LOUDandPROUD]

Friday at 9 works for me.

[BlochNWhitey]

Won't be able to make it Friday or Saturday, as I won't be home till Sunday at about 7:30pm(EST).

But you guys can decide either way.

[KGB]

Your having more trouble than I did TCK! Good luck everyone when you get to it.

[Vartazian]

This is why I suggest a poll... less messy... and everyone gets a shot... we all know who's is capable of what here.

[LOUDandPROUD]

As I said before, I think that works just fine too...I have no problem if we just go with a poll.

[RedScar]

TO THE POLLS
Although I think im good with Friday at 9 still

[SaturnReturn]

If you guys do decide to do a poll then first you'd need a poll to find out whether everyone has raced everyone else enough to really know their ability. I'm sure not everyone on the list has raced everyone else.

You might find it easier to ask more experienced players from other teams to vote for who they'd least like to race against. I'm sure it would be done honestly and you could get a wider range of views to prevent annoying tied votes, or folks voting for friends etc.

Also, if anyone from Canada could get in touch with djv1nc3 and dobyblue (both fast guys) then the competition could have a Canada and a USA team. I was talking to TCK about this last night and I'm not sure if he was going to try as it might just delay things further. But it would be cool to see both teams if they have enough players.

EDIT: There's also a guy called TreAtzTMA who is Canadian and I think he seemed pretty good. Although after only one short session it's hard to tell.

[Feisar31]

Yeah Saturn, I was just wondering about splitting the team into US and Canada. That way more players could be involved, and it might reduce the team selection headaches a bit. On the other hand, it would suck if some Canadians pulled out and they didn't have enough players. I believe there are 4 on the list right now? If they could convince Dark to rejoin, and maybe find another pilot or two (Kyonshi is another fast Canadian) then they should have enough alternates. I'm perfectly happy with a North American team though, if we stick with that.

And yes, there are some players on the list who I think I've raced with only once or twice. So I would still prefer qualifiers, but a poll would be OK. Like LoudandProud said, there are pros and cons either way.

Friday or Sunday would work for me for the qualifiers.

[RedScar]

I don't get on to race much thx to WoW but if anyone want to race me just send a friend request over PSN.
