North American Team WO Team

[kaori]

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...

I think too you may have two teams, USA and Canada, with

possibility to include some pilots of other countries of America (like Connavar entered in Flying Dutchmen)

[Darkdrium777]

Right now, I don't think I can rejoin. We had plans for vacation but now what's happened has jeopardized this a bit, and I have no idea what will happen next.
And I talked to Mad-Ice, he said the races would take place in September and I don't think I'll have the time at all then.
It's not about convincing me, it's just that for now I don't see it as possible to invest myself in the game this much.

[Vartazian]

Well I know without Sufficient good Canadian Pilots, we would just be a joke and would have the other countries laughing at us... lets take the best of NA Personally....

[SaturnReturn]

No-one would laugh at any other team and Canada do have enough quality pilots in theory. It's more of a matter of whether they can play in the World Cup or not. If most can't then a NA team is definitely better to be sure that a team is available and make it easier to arrange matches etc.

[DividedXZero]

Man...So are we set on 9pm (EST) this Friday the 3rd?
(Which i guess is 7pm my time-Central)

--Kyonshi is definitely fast, seems to be getting faster since i've known him (PSN friend). We go back and forth, and i've tried getting him here to the zone, but hasnt replied to those msgs.

[TarotCardKiller]

We can split it up into two teams, but as Feisar said, Canada my not have enough. So far Canada has Evolite, Mjolnir74, RedScar, and Vartazian; the US has 9. If you guys can get more pilots or think that is a sufficient amount, then I'm all for 2 teams. If not, then we'll proceed as planned.

I'm not too concerned about the WWC as it is in September. I want to get some side tourneys in with the English, French, and yes Sat', the Flying Dutchmen =] along with other countries if they're up for it.

I'll contact Evolite, Mjolnir74, RedScar, and Vartazian to see make sure you're aware and see if I can reach other Canadians that are interested.

[DividedXZero]

Kyonshi wishes to join, but he cant log into wipeoutzone.

[Vartazian]

I pray I dont work this friday for tryouts....

[RedScar]

How this tryout going to work TCK? Who is going to host?

[kanar]

mmm just to let you know, Kyonshi just joined here (just need activation or something). Two teams (canada & usa) would be cool, but I know it's hard to organize qualifyings and so on. I'll try to redirect US & Canadian pilots (if I race some, and if they're real americans lol) to you TCK or you Vartazian this we, advertising 'em there are national selections around.

[Mjolnir74]

Why don't we just go with the one team for NA now, and if we have enough contenders after the try out(s), we can split the teams at that time. I don't really see the point of making a decision until we know for sure what we're dealing with.

[OBH]

just do qualifications for each race you get involved in surely? if only 4 available on a certain day, great, theres your team

[SaturnReturn]

OBH - Do you mean they should just find a team in an impromptu fashion for each world cup match? As much as that makes sense in this situation, I think all 'nations' have to register a 'squad' of up to 8 players, so the pack will have to be whittled down somehow. Or do you mean something else?

[OBH]

oh sorry, didnt realise it was for a specific event. I need to learn to read the whole thread before attempting to contribute

[TarotCardKiller]

That sounds like the best idea for the situation. It may be split later on like Mjolnir stated if we get more contenders. We'll go with a NA Team for now and continue to look for other candidates in the near future. If we get more players, we'll split into two teams. I'd like to continue with this tourney on Friday for now if no one is opposed to it.

It'll start around 9PM EST this Friday the 3rd; if you are early, that's great. Anyone that wants to participate can add TarotCardKiller on PSN and I'll make a chatroom to set up. Like the doubles matches, we'll have 1 race before to test the connections. If there are more than 8 peeps, then Vart will host the 2nd group. I hope there are others who are anxious and want to do this as we have been debating it for quite a while. If you don't want to participate; I understand.

I'll send a PM to everyone.

Thanks everyone for your ideas and suggestions. This my first and hopefully last time organizing something important. or

[Kyonshi]

[BlochNWhitey]

After An Amazing Performance by some of North Americas Best Racers, Sub Group B (Vartazian's Group) Came up with their Very CLOSE Results.

After a Grueling 24 Race Circut (the first 8 had to be redone!) These were our Results.

Vartazian - 124pts
Kyonshi - 78pts
Redscar- 81pts
Mjolnir – 59pts
LoudAndProud- 74pts

From Sub Group "B" It was Decided that Vartazian and RedScar should move on to be two of the 4 Mains for The North American Wipeout Team.

Everyone Perfomed Exceptionally Well and I congatulate the rest of our Team-mates that made the team!

[TarotCardKiller]

We just had the First North American tournament which had a great turnout and great races!

Here are the Results:
Mains: TheFrostE, TarotCardKiller, Vartazian, RedScar
Subs : Kyonshi, Feisar 31, DividedXZ, and LoudandProud

The planning was difficult at first but with the help of everyone, we got it. Lol. My favorite part was the chatroom at the beginning; no one knew what to do. I also forgot to invite FrostE, mid-session he signed on and after being notified the tournament was about to start, he went home.

We DEFINITELY need to have another North American Event. I take back my comment about this event being the last one to organize. If anyone has any ideas for future ones, let us know.

And if you see any more Canadians/Americans/Mexicans, send em' to the forums and here! We have 9,540,000 sq mi of searchable land.

Thanks Cerium, DividedXZero, Feisar31, Kyonshi, LoudandProud, Mjolnir74, RedScar, TheFrostE, Vartazian and everyone else for helping! I hope you guys also had a good time.
