CONCLUDED: Japan Wins!
Chile gets 2nd Place, Taiwan A gets 3rd Place!
The concept:
Taiko World Cup - Last Man Standing is, like you would guess, a world cup, but with a unique twist!
Rather than having the Standard Team vs Team with the winner going further up the bracket, we have decided to change the rules up a little to give newer players a chance!
This new aspect is rather than having the whole team go out all at once at the end of a tournament, we have decided that this tournament will be like dodgeball! What we mean by this, is that in a game, both teams will gather for the match, one of the teams will choose a song like they would normally, but the player who does the worst on that song, is thrown out of the match, and the team who loses all their players first gets eliminated from the tournament!
We are excited to see how this goes! We have been planning big, and we're hoping this tournament will turn out big!
We are also really hoping that as many people as possible will join our tournament, beginner or not! Everyone has a chance here!
Hopefully, we will even be able to get a stream of each match running! But more information about this is to come in due time!
Do you have trouble finding team mates? No worries! Just check out the Thread for seeking players from your area! and see if anyone from your country or region are interested in making a team! If you don’t see anyone yet, don’t be let down, post yourself!

Regarding TWC, IFTT and Other Taiko Tournaments
As you may be aware, this tournament coincides with other tournaments such as IFTT and TWC. We do not intend to spark any controversy by introducing this tournament to the world, because we want to get more people involved in Taiko, and as a result, make it more alive and well than it currently is. Controversy gets us nowhere in these kinds of situations, so please don’t be the source of such things.
It was a rather inconvenient coincidence that both us and IFTT planned and organized our tournaments around the same time.
We could have announced it much earlier, but we decided not to, as it would spark controversy with the official TWC, which is something we much wanted to avoid, but we simply can’t postpone the announcement of this tournament until IFTT or other tournaments are over.
Thanks for understanding
