International Tron World Cup

2006-07-26T23:09:04Z

Xell: /* United Kingdom */

== Rules ==

All fortress players can participate in this tournament. Just post your name under the name of your country. Please write your name without clan tags.

This is organized in countries, if your country isn't here, edit this page and add it. It will be nice if you respect the alphabetic order. '''The country has to exist!!!''' Maybe if the team grows a lot it can make 2 teams, like east and west, it goes 4 usa :P, plz no invented names.

After all interested players register we will update this page with all the instructions of the tournament. Meanwhile here are some details:

The main plan is that it will be a fortress tournament, played in play-offs mode, when teams are ready, there will be a picture showing the brackets of the road to Tron World Cup. And if it is possible we will try to respect football world cup brackets :D

In case of some countries goes short, there will be a alliances, the way they will be is trying to join to another geo-near (example: spain+portugal->iberia, austria+switc->alps, nordics, ...) or just fusion with other short team (we will try to respect issues like belgium and netherland one :P).

A short team will be one with less than 5 players, this will be the minimum numbers of players to play a match.
*No more players allowed to register
*The specified country will play with the amount of players that have registered here.
*All cw in TWC-ITW server, it has good pings for both,america has 180 ping, not so bad.
*Suggestions will be considered on the next TWC in 4 months->>24 november

== Comments/suggestions ==
I have a few suggestions to make the tourney a little fairer, 1. If one team has more players than the other team, the team with more should only use as many as the other team has.(min number 5)I thought that was standard practice, though I guess not. 2. switch between using a european and a north american server, so no one country has an unfair ping advantage. Maybe use US fortress for North america(good/fast connection), and stick with ITW server for the european server--[[User:Vanhayes|Vanhayes]]
:Thanks for the suggestions. My inclination is not to change anything now the competition has started, but certainly these things will be taken into consideration for the next world cup. Having said that, would NAFTA be happy for Vanhayes' change 1 to be implemented for the rest of this world cup on the understanding that there would '''not''' be a rematch?--[[User:Dez|Dez]] 18:11, 24 July 2006 (CDT)
::Changing that player count rule, but not repeating the match that was messed up by it would strongly support the theory that the rule was pulled out of AdY-Lucifer's hat at match start for the single purpose of bashing down NAFTA. I see three acceptable ways to proceed: The best thing would be to get rid of the rule and repeat the NAFTA-Germany match, Friday would be a possible time slot. The two other possibilities would be to stick to the rule for the rest of the tournament, or to change the rule, but to remove AdY-Lucifer from the Spanish team to demonstrate the rule change isn't happening for his personal benefit (with eight players, his team would likely be put to a disadvantage by the original rule as well at some point).--[[User:Z-Man|Z-Man]]

i said that nothing will be changed on this twc.rules werent changed after the first match of twc , what re u screaming about z?

8th Team

2006-05-13T16:05:21Z

Xell: /* Current */

{{Spoon}}
We will play at the [[THE SPOON]] to defeat [[Team somethingsomething]]. ''Where all others have failed, we will prevail.''
The Team name can be changed by a majority vote. I chose 8th_Team [8T] because we're the 8th team.
We'll have a lot of fun! Do or do not, there is no try! and of course '''May the force be with you'''.

We will automatically be the weakest team, because we did not play any placement match.
So we have to play against [[Team somethingsomething]] first.

See here for the playoff results and matches: [[Playoffs (The Spoon)]]
== News ==

=== 13-14.05.2006 - Return to the PLAYOFFS !? ===
We will fight [[MBC (Tronic_SPOON)| Team MBC]] 13. or 14.05.2006 18:00-21:00 GMT.
See Dates below.

== Dates ==
I can't schedule training everyday (takes to much time), so please try to find 8th team players and organise training at will! Write an email and/or contact other players if they are available.

* '''Saturday 13.05.2006 18:00-21:00 GMT Possible Match vs. MBC'''
* '''Sunday 14.05.2006 18:00-21:00 GMT Possible Match vs. MBC'''
* Try to train on CVS Fortress and/or CVS Sumo

Convert the date to your timezone and be on "Z-Man's Spoon Fortress" at 19:30 GMT:

== Note ==
It's good to have more than the minimum required 5-8 players.
(Also some players might not be able to play once the date is set.)
'''We'll try to give everybody a chance to play''', especially if we win against [[Team somethingsomething]].
The other teams are probably easier if we get past [[Team somethingsomething]].

== Match History ==

:PLAYOFF MATCH 26.04.2006 20:00 GMT 8T vs. ?? ... lost 3:0 but fought quite well in the second round with 8:7 players for us. Sadly some players could not play all the time.

== Visitors' Voice ==
;from 2020, Anarchic Wanderers
:Well done Joda for setting this page up, forming the team, and being brave enough to start all this. And well done team for setting up and trying to go against ??. Hope you had fun, and I look forward to playing against you guys as a team sometime in the future.
