Maybe it would be wiser to pair an expert with a lesser skilled player? Make things more interesting...

Fixed. Difference in expertise between Taiko and Standard are way too high imo. Anyway how about splitting continents? :3

@^: Asia rules, then. I'm thinking about merging team by continent or region or something like that with agreement between players, if there's too less players in that country who wants to particiate.
Also to disperse god-like players in East asian region, how about making spliting the team available? (Of course it would be better to split players by local region in that country if it's still Taiko 'world cup' lol)

Maybe I don't have any relationship with this tournament, cuz my ability is too poor to participate.
Though, As one of noob taiko player, I'm looking forward to this tournament exciting.

As for rules, I think it will good if the rule's big-frame is similar with Osu! standard world cup.

Revive.

You do realize you'll be merging Japan and Korea in one team if that happens, haha

How can i participate? I'm the only player in my country... can i join another team even if it's not my country?

This is kind of my case, too... :/

That's why I'm thinking about this.

And [shalon] isn't noob lol (I don't want to make Taiko tornament 'god-like players only tornament' or something like that orz)

EDIT:
If too few participants are gathered, teamVS won't work. (So If that happens We should change this to World Taiko Championship or sometihng like that lol)

Why not make a normal tournament or 2v2 tournmanet instead?? seems much better for taiko since the player base isn't as wide as standard.

you could also make some kind of double-turnament, one for beginners and one for more experienced taiko players

that could be independent from the national-/continental-system then

Answer to Lepidopodus first post

- Taiko has less player than standard and lots of players are Korean, Chinese and Japanese, so maybe make spliting 'major countries' available would be help?

Is it the K.O. system?
If yes...
(A) The strong countrys like Japan, Korea, United Kingdom and China can play together first, and the best one will come out.
(B) The weak countrys like Germany, France, Russia, ??? will also play together, and the best one will come out and play agains the winner of the A team.
Is it all vs. all?
If yes...
every country play agains the other countrys, and the one with the most win's, win.

- When selecting the map, which map we should use? Should non-Taiko-only map allowed?

Honestly, if it is a Taiko tournament, we should use first of all ~~Namcos Maps~~ or Taiko guest diff's..

- osu! World Cup is teamVS. Should Taiko world cup be teamVS, or is there something else?

teamVS. is possible, but not good if it is 2vs4. So maybe, if this happens, there will be a 1vs1 or 2vs2 between the countrys, which players are choosen by the teammates?

- How about prize?

Uuuh... maybe it's possible to ask ppy for support modus? I think that should be okay?

- How many players should be in one team?

This is still the one of the main question in my opinion. First of all, we need a list with the players who will play for there countrys. When we have most of them, we need to watch trough the player-number in each team. If one country has less players it can be mixxed with another? I think that's not grose or somethign like that.

About Germany
Team could be: LittleMagic, DarkDunskin, RockeDon, OnosakiHito, Trashy, marshall_racer = 6 People
If this team is later to big I will go to Noobita's special team(if there will be one), so marshall_racer can stay in the German Team.
Normaly I should have the Serbian, not the German status on Osu!...i'm the only one from my country. = ="

@Rokodo: You have your own People in your country...Hikato plays often, and it looks like Shulin also play?

Well that's it for now from my site. I hope you understand what I wrote. orz
Let's see what will happen with the Team System and what is the best way to make one.
