karterfreak
K, I'm gonna post this here and PM Loctav so no shenanigans happen.

I'm thinking that the best possible time to play for our teams is probably Saturday, 5:00AM UTC. That'd be Friday @ Midnight for myself, Friday @ 9:00PM for Kenny and Hipster, and Saturday @ 12:00AM for Indonesia.

I don't know if Kenny and Hipster can make that time yet, but it looks like our best option if we're actually going to have a match if Indonesia can't play at midnight on Sunday...

Are there any objections to this time? I'd like to know before we get this scheduled again.

You mean Saturday @ midnight for you, and Saturday @ 12:00pm for Indonesia.

May we change the match time to Sat / Sun 12:00 ~ 16:00 or Sun 00:00 (UTC+8) ?

Mon 00:00 is impossible for most of us, cause all of us are students, we have to go to school 07:00 am on every Mon ~ Fri, not able to stay up too late.


Thx :?

@^ I talked with US last night and they would be really happy with 12:00 (UTC+8) on either day. I will change the time now to 4 UTC Sunday.

this is 8/10PM Sat for US, 12PM Sun Taiwan

Usually when someone means midnight, they mean on the day of, so no, I meant Friday at midnight, aka 12:00AM on Saturday.

It's just to clear up confusion since in all actuality that's correct.

i think at 2:00 PM at indonesia maybe can
because 12:00 idk i already at home or nope (need to go church for something)
karterfreak
I'll play at Saturday, 06:00 UTC at the latest. Its already pushing it for me putting a match that late. That's the finalized time that Canada can put down, so Indonesia, please try to work with it. 1:00PM on Saturday in your timezone shouldn't be completely unreasonable.
XK2238
I think our team has to surrender, since our schedule possibilites are nearing zero. I still have 13 UTC Sunday in mind, but that Ghassan/I have exams/try-outs on (more like "from") Monday... can't force it.

Have fun, teams.
Makar
After communicating with both teams, there will be no change. Indonesia failed to send in their times originally, and now they are unable to give times that Canada can also work with (was talking with them for a while last night), so the current scheduled time will be forced and no other changes will be made due to short notice.

This is what happens when you fail to send in times, I suppose.

abt the match time of ChinaB and Russia. The captain of ChinaB asked me to tell u some difficulties they have met.
11p.m is very late for chinese student especially for high school students, cuz they are mainly focusing on their study other than the game.
So it is really hard for ppl to have a match in such a time. yuan0312 told me they have informed u abt the match time and u guys told him
it is imposible to change it 4 hours after u guys determind. Actually, as i know, when u pm'd ChinaB Captain
was around 3a.m for him. Thats impossible for him to reply at that moment.
IMO, thats quite unfair to ChinaB. hope u guys can solve this as soon as possible.
Makar
Loctav will have to handle the Russia vs China B problem, since I don't know the times you gave and I don't know the discussions or reasoning behind why it is impossible, but it is probably because it doesn't match up with a time Russia gave, I am assuming.

Greetings.

This week, it's my task to take over the scheduling.
Pay attention to following instructions:
  1. Hand in your preferred times. Please also add the time zones you are living in. Hand in your times in UTC+-0 format
  2. Also hand in a time where you can not gather 3 players at once. We actually don't care, if you can't get your "best setup". We only care that you will have 3 players of your roster. We also don't care, if you PREFER evenings. You can only exclude 5 hours of a day
  3. Please hand in times for Saturday (2. March) and Sunday (3. March). Saturday/Sunday ends, when they end on UTC. (So a Sunday time, which reaches into Monday in UTC time zone, is invalid).
  4. Please prepare to be scheduled possibly on both days. You can't exclude Saturday/Sunday. You have to have time to spare on both days.
  5. Please mark one day as preferred. Always consider, that even if you PREFERRED a day, that you might not be scheduled on this one.
  6. Your preferred times must be in a window of at least 3 hours. (e.g. 14-16 UTC) Anything tinier can't be considered.
  7. Knock-Out Stage forbids 2v2. You must have 3 players available, no matter what.
  8. Exceptions are excluded. If you can't play this weekend (with 3 players!), you lose by default.
Also, I repeat it once again: Even if you preferred a specific time, you might not get it.
We will try to not schedule you at night/morning. (defined as: midnight 0.00 till midday 12.00 of your timezone).

You have time to hand in your times till 27th Feb 2013, 16.00 UTC (sharp deadline)
If you fail to hand in your data in time, your team will be considered as "completely available on Saturday AND Sunday". Tho you will be scheduled freely on own behalf.

As sooner you hand in your times, as more we can guarantee to fulfill your wishes. First comes, first serves.

The schedule will be released after the sharp deadline ended. You will have 24 hours to object the scheduled time. You need a valid reason for that. When objecting, you can not move your day, only the hour (by preponing/postponing). Also please ask your opponent's captain before objecting your scheduled time (so he's aware that the time will be changed) - this fastens the whole process of possible rearrangements.

Regards,
Loctav.

and what abt next week
Topic Starter
Loctav
1.) No postponing
2.) China never handed in times.
3.) Russia DID hand in times, so I followed these
4.) You missed the deadline for objections

-> No change.
If you don't show up with 3 players at the match's time, Russia wins by default.

Just watched the replay of our match today some minutes ago
I appreciate how tactical Germany is. They did an excellent job at choosing maps & players
And Xay did really, really well. He's definitely one of the best players in osu taiko community <3
Don't give up Germany! I believe you guys can go into top 3 next year > <
Xay
Need three xays to get past all asian teams, which I've had enough of this year (so lucky)

Reasons why I won't forget this cup:

- 3 out of 4 matches were against the best teams of this tournament, which means there was a lot of stress for us, since we always needed to plan out the matches very strictly beforehand in order to balance stuff. Not all of us were able to play everything flawlessly in a mappool, unlike Japan or Hong Kong ...
- all 4 matches were against asians
- group of Death and probably the closest matches (I don't even know how I was able to stand the pressure that well... I don't know about the rest of my team)
- 2 Tiebreakers overall
- we all managed to play on the set matchtime against HK A, even though me and Broken were sick and Slih managed to strain his indexfinger the day before \o/

United States A vs Taiwan A


It's a bit sad to announce, that match couldn't be done. United States A, fighting with bad luck, couldn't get their third player from team. Results are then clear: Taiwan A wins by default 5-0. As well, even if it's official...

...We performed unofficial match on other room, 2v2 - To see what will happen.

I feel proud of my performance from 1-3 but #4 and #5 I was faced with technical issues. I appreciate all the support though. Taiwan was the better team, through and through, and even had all their players. I hope for maybe a next year we can defeat them, as we always seem to have to play against them in these rounds.

Thank you everyone who supported us, US A tried their hardest for our bretheren who fell before us. Have fun everyone, and don't cry like I do every year ;w;

It really is a sad thing to announce, but it can't be helped. An awesome unofficial 2v2 was held (originally 3v2 but yikao had to be somewhere) despite everything and to offset some of the disappointment. Regardless, it was an entertaining match!

After several discussions, reconsiderations, <stuff>, I accepted the retreat of Finland.
It was a wise decision and I appreciate their step. Also they compensate the mistake which happened by our side.
Keep in mind that we were totally aware that this rescheduling might have been critical. Finland actually stepped back to avoid any more fuss caused from the staff's side.
It might appear unfair to many of you, but the error is neither on Finlands nor on Koreas side. But Finland helped us finding an appropriate solution for this circumstance.

tl;dr: Korea ascends to next stage. Everyone go and hail Team Finland for their fair and wise behavior.

Also Korea will replace NAKG by Bye, France will replace Didou by omegaflo since both replaced players quit the game. This is an exceptional case. So don't try to change your rosters, now.

Thanks for your attention and enjoy the ongoing tournament.
