Are we gonna have Round of 16 or go straight to the Quarter-Finals? I think having Round of 16 is fair because kicking out 16 countries out of 24 is too much, you should let 4 countries go to the Round of 16 and kick out 2 countries per group.

So is there going to be a RO16 or is it being made RO8? Seems odd we'd eliminate 16 of the 24 teams before brackets even start. The wiki also still mentions RO16 so I'm getting mixed information here.

Probably just forgotten to edit the Wiki. Loctav seems unwilling to qualify two thirds of the participants after group stage.

When's the schedule coming up?

Oh, we discussed that forth and back and forth and back. One point is that Group Stage is a huge effort, making it a bit of obsolete to host it when we keep majority of the participants.
On the other hand, we found that it was a bit unfair to only let the top 2 ascend, when we have two top seeded teams in each group. This results in frustration for majority of the participants, as they assume that they know already the ascenders of their group, anyways.

We came to the conclusion to consider the groupstage as true-seeding for the knock-out bracket. Even if majority of the group stage may ascend, the position your own group determines your starting position in the double elimination bracket. A raw-pp seeding is not the way to determine that.
Considering that, it seems also fine to kick 2 players per group and let 4 per group ascend, yet knowing that in the knock-out bracket, we will have a 1v4/2v3 setup, as Tasha suggested last year. So even if it is easy to ascend to the knock-outs per se, your position in the group determines the "supposed difficulty of your first knock out encounter".

Sorry for the huge confusion, I decided to go with doing a Round of 16, not cancelling it. Especially since we have evenly sized groups now (yey, 24 teams!), this is acceptable for me now.

Schedule will be released in a few minutes, I am rechecking all time slots now to avoid double-placements.
karterfreak
That was a pleasant surprise. Glad that RO16 is still on! Also using group stage as a prelim seeding is a great idea. Still not too fond of group stage with elimination, but I'll compensate for double elim + seeded brackets. :)

Let me recall that you are still allowed to suggest maps for the upcoming mappools. Preferable your own maps.
Maps of all levels are needed for this and future TWCs and are prefered to be ranked (yet, it's not a must). Is your map unique or provides an interesting song? PM me!

Have a little insight of what we got so far:

Just a suggestion for match schedulers, I know this is hard to come up with a proper schedule with so many matches and you did a great job. But next time could you please let a bigger gap between the last match of the night for a team and its first match in the morning ? I mean we finished at midnight yesterday, and we have to play in an hour, which means we have less than 10h gap for sleeping and stuff. I'm awake but I look like a zombie

Hmmm... I wonder if there could be some kind of a new category in the mappool like Extra, where you put one custom hard map, and to make it more fair - available only from semi-finals(?)

That probably makes no sense, but... hmmm.

We had that discussion in 2014. Back then I mainly used such maps since I didn't want people to play in their HD/HR confort zone. Those who demand of beeing HD/HR-Master(or even the TWC Masters) shall show it in the TWC by playing these very maps. And to be honest, I still have that opinion. But back then it was seen as too exeggerated and endagered the fun in the tournament, so we had a consens to have for next year (this year; 2015) a mix of low and high bpm maps in HR and HD, so players are able to choose. But it speaks for itself if a team avoids or bans these maps. Not that I want to expose anyone. That's why we will have a mix this year. But at the end, it's an world cup after all. People should show that they are the best. Beside that, it also gives a new tactical aspects which should make the TWC more interesting.


So yeah, for this year you can be sure that every upcoming higher-mappool will have at least one of these special maps in HR and HD. Question is just if I'm going to rise the number of maps which are like that. But in any case, there will be always a normal HD / HR pick. And don't forget that there is the NM bracket, too!

You know, your predictions are surprisingly accurate to the ones I made after brackets were announced, only place we differed was at Japan and Taiwan and Canada beating Hong Kong. I'm still so torn on that match in the grand finals though because both teams are so dang good.

Umm... Ok so I was looking through the MP for Hong Kong VS United states group stage match and I saw a bit of a problem with the MP link
Some of the players would get FCs but the mp wouldn't show FC and no misses, this could cause a problem where a team could win by the skin of their teeth like Odds&Ends where Hong Kong actually won the map but since the score of 1 note was uncounted US won that map.
aabc271 made this showing that they did actually win the map but MP broke and showed US winning because of the score not counting
It also happened with Burn and R176, it could be a player connection problem because of it happening to shyguy twice but idk.. Maybe this needs to be looked into

I showed that to Ono and p3n before, but they couldn't do anything because it was already too late when I noticed that like 15 mins after the match :o
Let's just hope the judges can have some more careful checking before deciding the winning team, especially when the scores are close :(

  4. 04:05:030 (1681) - ^
  5. 04:54:473 (55) - ^
  6. 05:21:944 (295) - ^
  7. and maybe many more.
wrong timings?
  1. 00:51:982 (306) - absolutely wrong when compare to 00:52:276 (307) -
  2. 05:52:577 (528) - plays really weird because redline is at 05:52:683 -
  3. 05:55:777 (540) - wrong timing. should be 05:55:820 - or so.
  4. and many more.
i have omitted many things because i got tired with that. this map is not playable, it's not ready for the OFFICIAL TOURNAMENT. patterns are enjoyable even though those are kinda hard for the semifinals. but seriously, why did you pick this map? there are too many problems, especially unsnapped things.

Maps are supposed to be ready one week before they are picked, it is like using an half-mapped song and saying that you will finish to map it before the macthes lol.

Another potential issue in the mappool :

He is talking about this map from the Hidden picks : https://osu.ppy.sh/b/316820&m=1
The offset needs to be checked, it sounds like 10 or 20ms too early as DarkStoorm pointed it. Tried it with Hidden and this is a bit uncomfortable to play (pretty hard to get a good accuracy if you focus on the song while playing).
