The Avalon Cup (WO HD-FURY)

[SaturnReturn]

Hmm, and a game mode restriction. No Zone battle option without Fury.

[kanar]

ah ah that one was so obvious. Thanks for the reminder Sat. Ok great news; XBARNSTERX and Leungbok accepted to join the cup, so :

Rendezvous Saturday, aug 28, 23H00 gmt @ the wipeout museum (ps home) for drawing lots live. Don't forget to add Kanar_is_back as a friend by the way, as I'll come with this id. This part is optional of course, as you will all receive a psn update by pm right after.

To sum up, ROUND ONE BEGINS SUNDAY (of course you'll have 2 weeks, maybe a little more, to play your match)

[Kyonshi]

May i ask to use a font easier to read, Kanar? This one is great, but it's so smashed-flat its a bit hard for the eyes. Maybe stretch it upward a bit?

[kanar]

sure Kyonshi, I'll use another font for the final board that I'll post tomorrow, after the drawing lots ceremony on home tonight.

[OBH]

this is so cool
i love 1vs1 competition. time to grab myself some popcorn!

[icarasDragon]

Wait I just need something clarified.
With the seeded players thing, is it that players are randomly picked for rounds or are they picked by rank?

[SaturnReturn]

The 16 seeded players are just placed on the board in the first round such that they cannot play each other before a certain round. The remaining players are picked randomly.

In each eighth of the board, there will be 4 matches in the first round. Two of those will involve a seeded player. Each seeded player will play against one of the remaining players who was drawn at random.

Of the other two matches in that part of the board, which don't already have a seeded player assigned, all four of the players will be drawn against each other at random.

I guess non-seeded players basically want to not be drawn against a seeded player in the first round. Although I expect some of us (me) are well out of practice these days and don't expect to put up much of a fight.

[icarasDragon]

So basically it's just "wait for your name to be picked "
Can't wait for my round!

[KGB]

What's the chances of me playing Hellfire - someone who I can never beat!

Might not be able to make it tonight, I'll try my hardest though.

[Nutcase:259]

i'll be just my luck i get drawn against one of the seeded players 1st round
still never give up
might make it to home. but don't know if the ps3 can handle the install
Thar she blows!!!

[Amorbis]

Whoever gets drawn to face me first will have it easy looking at the table, that and the fact I've been seeded as lucky 13!

I'll try to give you a hard time though, maybe some nasty settings or something. A 20 lap no-weapons venom race on Moa Therma should sort anyone out.

[kanar]

Sat, big thanks for the explanations above. Regarding the drawing order, I'll begin with shapealot match to eric's one, then I'll fill the right side of the board respecting the same order.

And thanks a lot for your interest guys, really appreciated!

[IDReaper]

Can't wait for the match ups

I'd love to go up against a seeded player first, it'll make the road ahead a bit easier

[kanar]

ah ah no I'm incapable of being corrupted (mm gt5 signature edition maybe?)

The little papers with all the names are in my psp case, ready to be picked in less than 2 hours now eh eh

(drawing lots live @ the ps home wipeout museum, 23h00 gmt, kanar_is_back will be your host)

direct feed @ the avalon lounge chatbox too, for the people having problems with home or outside europe without 2nd euro account

[icarasDragon]

For those people living close to Tas in Aus http://www.worldtimeserver.com/conve...d=28&h=23&mn=0 <- Time Converted

Oops that's NOW come on folks!

[ID_ArsNova]

I got my matchup... I died a little bit inside...

SaturnReturn...

[ONlock]

Good job Kanar, you got it done!

Colonel gadafi.. I think that was his name. We have to schedule!

[kanar]

what a funny experience we got there lol, never saw as much people as tonight in the wipeout museum ah ah, and when ONlock pmed me you guys are all waiting for me 1h before the scheduled time awww lol. THIS IS a community. Well the ps home is fking dumbass thing with weird controls and it was difficult to follow all conversations, but just the fact we gathered together made this stuff awesome. We should definitely do that again. Anyway for our friends who couldn't make it, here's the final board :
