About the qualification, why only HD tracks? Just run two 12 track tourneys, the first featuring every track (8 HD + 4 Fury) forward and then another reverse, no?

What happens if someone's PS3 freezes (still happens) or gets disconnected due to crappy connection?

WWC is taking place on the HD tracks only. When people decided to create the World Cup events, Fury wasn't available yet, and it was decided to keep it this way, even for qualifications. Consequently, only HD ships are allowed in WWC.

So its one round of all 8 HD tracks Forward, from Vineta K to Sol 2 respectively. For the second round, its all the same, but in Reverse.

In the eventuality someone freezes or get disconnected, the tourney is restarted on the same track players were racing at the moment the disconnetion/freezing occured, and it continues to the last track. Scores are also kept the same when the problem occured, and points are normally added for the remaining races.

The new line-up for qualification tourney is now:

-Boo4ever
-DeepMix
-IDReaper
-Koleax
-Kyonshi
-RedScar
-Rezatron

Only one spot is remaining! I'm getting thrilled

[Feisar31]

I was out of town for a couple weeks and I've just seen all this.

As a former NA pilot, I wish you all good luck! And good job Kyonshi on getting this sorted out.

Maybe reserve that last spot for Coatlketzal? If he wants it that is, I told him about this thread on PSN and he just responded "OK" so i'm not sure with him.

Well, I have no care for competition, but if you need another head...Im in.
In the immortal (doctored) words of Wesley Willis: "Abukii-- kills bugs dead"

[IDReaper]

Yay abukii race with us! Beware, you may kill bugs deads but the roach will always survive! Or atleast until I can find a better name for my spray-proof green bug . Anyway I hosted a practice HD tourney for myself and Rezatron just now(others were in Fury ships but that is okay). I was wondering if it would be a good idea to set up scheduled practice tourneys? I could spare a few hours on fridays 8-10PM EST GMT 5- to host. Is this something you(Kyonshi) and the team would be interested in?

[Kyonshi]

CoatlKetzal sent me a message that he will join the team. I really wasn't expecting that!

Since he was mentioned by me from the very first post, i will offer him a spot on the qualifications.

I know i could disappoint you Abukii... That's really not my intention. I've been racing many times with Coatl and i always thought he would be a fine addition to the team. Also, i'd like to give a chance to someone who would be the first Mexican guy to be part of the team.

The current pilots are now included in the qualifications:

1. Boo4ever
2. CoatlKetzal
3. DeepMix
4. IDReaper
5. Koleax
6. Kyonshi
7. RedScar
8. Rezatron

I would like to request that all of you confirm their availability for the soon to come qualification tourney. We will not settle on a precise date before everyone confirm their presence. Afterwards, we will all discuss the day we will do the tourney. Please send replies here or on my WZ profile.

Thank you all for your response!

[Vartazian]

OMFG YOU DIDNT CONSULT ME ABOUT ANYTHING WTF YOU GUYS SUCK!

Im kidding!

Way to go Kyon! May the best win!

[abukii]

No worries what so ever, gentleman and ladies (if any).

Just a friendly gesture on my part. I wish you all luck

[KGB]

I played your NOOB phantom pilot Rezatron last night/this morning. Watch out, he's fast.

[boo4ever]

Looking forward to racing with all of you.

[Kyonshi]

Everyone has received a message on their profile to post location and timezone here, so we can all have knowledge of those important details. This will make easier the decision on the date we do the qualifications. Thank you all!

On another note, ID Reaper mentioned that we should do some practice together. This is already on the menu! May it be before or after the qualifications, we need practice. This is what we did with the former NA team members. However, we may not have all the free time to gather all the 8 of us everytime. Here's what we'll do.

Whenever you race with at least one of us, on a random online host, you should put in practice and train yourself not to shoot or harm your fellow team mate, may it be 1 on 1 or in a full grid. This means no Missiles, Rockets, Quakes, Leech Beams, Cannons, Plasma, Mines and Bombs. This also means trying to avoid contact with the other Nawty ship, as everyone knows it deals damage. Also, try to help your buddies. If your team mate is following you, leave some Weapon Pads free for him/her, unless you absolutely need to absorb Energy or you're dealing with potentially deadly threat. Im aware such recommendations may be hard to follow while in the blaze of action, but if you have a chance, if you think you can, do it.

Also, we should all be able to recognize ourselves on the track, to avoid sad mistakes and hazards. So, everybody should stick to only one WipEout ship and to a particular skin. Me, i will be racing with the Blue Harimau. If one of your team mate got the same ship and skin you have, one or the other should agree to choose a different skin. When me and Boo4ever actually play together, he picks the Yellow Harimau and me the Blue one.

Finally, sticking with only one ship helps you master even better the behavior and navigation of this ship. It may become boring, but remember that the team needs every bit of your piloting and offensive skills, as well as the sharpest awarness.

I know you're all fantastic pilots, and im not telling you how to play! Its just quick reminders and hints from the experience i had in WWC events. Of course Deep and Red are already aware of such things.

[Koleax]

Me too. It should be fun racing with the HD ships again.

I live in the Central US time zone, -6:00 GMT. Anytime on the weekend for me is good. Weekdays I'm pretty busy, but available in the morning, for a brief period between 4:30pm and 5, and then after 10:00 pm.

[Kyonshi]

Hoops, Koleax posted while i was editing my post before he did xD

Please dont avoid this post i made, i would appreciate Thank you all!

[yeldar2097]

Just busted Deep online again

It was painful...that's all I can remember

[IDReaper]

My timezone is EST GMT -5 I am in the state of North Carolina, USA. My usual availability is pretty much every day after 8PM till whenever I fall asleep. Except this Wednesday for my exam, otherwise yeah everyday 8 on. Check out my new avi I'm going EG-X. Feels close to Fury Mirage to me except slightly stiffer but I've been practicing and have managed good things so far. I'll be running skin 2 if no one else is claiming it.

[Rezatron]

I'm in the EST time zone as well. I can do after 10pm during the weekdays for sure (but most days after 6pm) and i'm available pretty much whenever on the weekend.

I guess one thing we should all do is add each other to our friends list if not on already. I'll send out some requests now.

[boo4ever]

CST in Alabama. After 9pm is best for me during the week. I am more flexible on the weekends.

[DeepMix]
