also, only a badge for the first place?
well, however ... waiting takes too long for me, and i'm not even at home from 5th till 13th (what means not enough time to practise ...)

Maybe I set registration period too long? I'm not sure cause some teams are still gathering their members.

Anyway I can't change the time for now, it's too sudden. Currently I guess the first match will be held in April 15th or 16th.

I like don more.

It's OK to like one better than the other

But to say that no one likes Katsu, or to say that no one likes Don, is just orz... >_>
crystalsuicune
It's more like my fault,actually.
I was in a hurry,so I couldn't find enough time
to grab a Katsu piccer for the badge.

Sorry guys,I'll see if I can make a Katsu version once I get the
katsu pic I need
OnosakiHito
*come back*

You cheat don! Treator!

*RUNS AWAY*


No jk, for now I think it's okay. But I'm sure the other will be also cool. Good Job.^^
Edit: @lepidopodus: It's better to have a longer 'registration time limit'. Means more players and you can pratice few day's more for it.
And the important thing is you have a longer time to see when do you have time; can you play in this time line.
Short registration time = too spontaneously, I guess?

Atm bad english, sorry. = ="

Shimedore? Well I'll consider about it.

Anyway currently it's 17 team. Groups for robin-round tornament will be 5/4/4/4, I guess.

Backfire quit playing. He apparently thinks he's treated badly. (and probably is ;_;)

So yes... uh... much as it pains me to bend the rules... and... hurts me to... not invite in the back-up or back-back-up...


I've been recommended to invite Super_Banana to the team. If he can't join, I'll go hardcore searching for someone else.
Topic Starter
lepidopodus
For adding back-ups, you can add them until the tournament starts, maybe till 15th or 16h, but I recommend you to be hurry.

Uh, Super_Banana is canadian, hmm, Whatever. We don't have that much time, so...

Ok, the captain of Team Brazil-Chile is now Hyguys.

So we have 17 teams, hmm. Round 1 will be robin-round tornament. Teams will be grouped into 4 groups, and 5 teams will get some disadvantage in round 1 and that's inevitable. Well, grouping the team will be completely random so it would be right time to test your luck.

Round 1-1 will be about April 15th~18th. Overall Round 1 will be last for 3 weeks, I assume.

sorry, gotta resign from tournament.
My laptop doesnt seem to like taiko at all(well that has been known for long time) it just lags way too often.
For example when big don appears my laptop goes LOLYOUARENTGONNAHITIT(screen freezes for 2 secs)
Good luck everyone.
After all, i was practically forced to join this tournament! :D
Topic Starter
lepidopodus
I see, I don't want to force something.

Team Finland and Japan has 3 players so it's still ok to participate the tournament, but it's strongly advised to find appropriate back-up player until the tournament starts(maybe 15th or 16th), cause this tournament will last for for about 7 weeks. After the tournament starts, you can't change the players no matter what.
anongos
Ummm.... I'm still a little bit confused about how back-up exactly works in this.
OzzyOzrock
If one is absent, back-up shines?
Topic Starter
lepidopodus
To be honest, whether a player is a back-up or not is not that important. If 3 among 4 players in the team are present, that's completely fine.

Oh, OK. It's because the way rule 10 and 10-1 is worded. Makes me think that all four of us have to always be on time, otherwise we forfeit.
Topic Starter
lepidopodus
Fixed Rule 10 slighty. Could cause confusion to use the word 'whole team'.

EDIT:
Modified registration period slighty by a few hours. Well I guess everyone is already registered, though.
Group drawing will be right after closing of registration. Will be done by using certain program that I found from Korean web, so just a click will decide everthing.

EDIT2:
...without considering continent. That would be better except for setting timetable lol

whats with the maps, why are there osu! maps. Should be taiko ones only. :/

I'll check usage of those maps and apply them to map list for next week. That means, if players don't use standard maps, I'll put much less standard maps in the next phase.

Please know that this map list is trying to fit both experts and novices, if you find maps that you don't like or are boring.. just don't pick them (less chance you'll be playing them).
I do agree on the badly timed maps and etc but im sure it will be fixed and we'll discuss about it...
Anyway, good luck to everyone ^_^
Topic Starter
lepidopodus
Broad difficulty spread is what I mean. I divided mappool by 7 difficulty groups and only 'Very Hard' group was excluded for round 1.
Of course, this will be fixed following usage of the maps.

About timing, those are ranked ones so I though it's ok. If you think anything wrong about timing, please post here or PM me. I'll ask to some experts to confirm it. (Mainly Alace, as he is a staff.)

EDIT:
Nico Nico Douga - Kamijo-san & Biribiri at The Skyhigh (KIA) [Taiko Oni] <-- I guess this thing was underestimated lol

EDIT2:
Kamui Gakupo, KAITO, Kagamine Len - IMITATION BLACK (Shinxyn) [Insane] <-- will remain in map list for now.

You guys should blame me if you don't like that map list.

Tournament Instructions
The 1st round of the tournament will be robin-round stage. There will be 4 groups and each groups have 4~5 teams. Your team will play every other teams once, and the team achieved #1 or #2 in their group will be ascended to the next round. Ranking of teams will be decided by certain standards:
 1. More matches won.
 2. Have bigger {(the number of games won) - (the number of games defeated)}.
 3. More games won.
 4. Have bigger ∑{(total score difference) / (maximum score)}.
 5. Winner of the rematch.
第一輪為分組賽,每組均有4~5隊,賽事採用單循環制,頭兩名者出線。
排名準則如下:
1) 勝出較多場次。
2) (勝出局數-落敗局數) 較高者。
3) 勝出局數較高者
4) 累積每局(分數/滿分) 較高者。
5) 重賽勝出者。

Other stages will be Knockout stage. If your team wins the match, your team will be ascended to the next round immediately. but if you lose your match, your team will be knocked out from the tournament.

Usually you will have a match per a week, but in the 1st round you may have two matches in certain week if your group consists of 5 teams.
除第一輪外其他對賽為淘汰賽,即勝方晉級,敗者出局。
正常來說比賽會每週一賽,在5隊一組的情況下有必要時會一週雙賽。

Timetable
IMPORTANT: If you want to change the time, contact to the captain of the opponent team and make agreement between both captains first, then notify manager by PM or post here. If you have any troubles with contacting them, tell manager for some help.

Philippines, Malaysia, and China will play 2 times while Italy-Netherlands and Germany A will only play one time. How will the decision for the positioning be here? I'm just confused since the number of games played aren't equal
Topic Starter
lepidopodus
Round 1 consist of Round 1-1, 1-2, 1-3. There are 17 teams so there's no way to group teams equaly, so some disacvantages for some teams are inevitable. Since Group A has 5 teams and we have 3 weeks to finish round 1, all teams in group A should play once more in certain week since they will play 4 matches.
Total 10 matches in Group A and round 1-1 has 4. That's why so many teams play twice in this week. Of course they won't play twice in other weeks.
