Not every team can play every week.

To many teams.
Not so many refs.

Some teams didn't playlast week. yesterday

It is really hard to manage tournament with too many matches in a certain period, especially this kind of world tournament which is very hard to contact everyone within a short period. That is why.

But progression of TWC is quite faster than other tournament, you know. We usually clear one round/subround within a week, not like OW... hmm, never mind.
Juuryoushin
Oh. Okay thanks.
I didn't remember that the previous TWC was slower.

@^: Previous TWC was fast too, similar like this TWC. So you are right.

HELL YEAH WE DO

For team PH and USB: Can you guys arrange a scheduled time that is okay for all of you, then pm me your final decision? If you just post here I might miss it.

And I can't switch you to 2/19 at 00:00 either as that is Brazil and Taiwan B's scheduled time. Brazil gave me a limit on when they can play, and that is the only time I can really fit them in. If you want to switch to that time, you'll have to contact Brazil and Taiwan B as well since they will be affected.

EDIT: Needless to say, please check the schedule first before deciding on a time as to not affect anyone else. If you really have to take someone else's time slot, please contact the affected teams first and make sure it's okay. THEN PLEASE PM ME. DON'T JUST POST IT HERE as I might miss it. Then I can move you and the affected teams (if there are any besides USB and PH) to a different slot.

Or, pm me the timezones that each of the players in team USB are in (if you live in a country with multiple timezones, I can only take the timezone that is the latest as to not have players waking up at 4-5 in the morning for a match, unless you tell me where each player is located timezone wise). Then I can try to make a new time for you guys.
Zekira
Still waiting on what's happening (afaik the captains already fixed the schedule, just waiting on USB?)

The schedule's already fixed. I just need to put it up.
There:

What changed: PH and USB's match time. Switched referees for that round.

I received another complaint about Rule No. 11. Tournament is ongoing so it is hard to change the rule totally, but I guess I need to hear some thoughts about that from you guys if you have some. via forum-PM is ok.
OnosakiHito
Um... without insulting or beeing rude, but this time some maps are like a joke for the TWC. Honestly.
In my opinion there could be some better maps for choose.
(Don't worry, I know, not everything can be perfect. But just saying.)

Edit: For better clarity: I don't mean the diff. of a map. It is about breaking rules/guideliness in some maps.

shouldn't happen the upcoming rounds. My apologizes, my fault that I didnt check every map clearly enough. I was a bit in rush because I wasn't prepared for 4 group stages. (only for 3)

Well, i just wanna say: thank you for this TWC. It was fun to play with you guys. It was also fun to watch others in their thrilling matches.
Good luck for all teams!

I just hope you will have lots of fun during the Taiko World Cup.
Remember... there are no losers. There are only teams that didn't manage to win.

Did some of you already lose (or feeling that you lost for sure)? Doesn't matter!
We are a one step closer to a better community (+1 Lepidon :3)
Who cares about competition? This one got our countries closer for sure ;D (oh hai there, Slih ;3)

It was so much fun to play Taiko. Especially with you, guys. :?

Good luck to the rest of teams again.

Best wishes,
Dark~

Over and out.
[a little edit]
Forgot to add: I have to quit osu!. And again, it realy was fun. Thank you all!

What the...why are you leaving? ;A;
Acrith
If I could say something..

DarkStoorM, you were a good player. There's still many people that ask me "Why the best players, who have skill and ambitions must leave the game?.." - And I can't answer them. I only hope that you won't quit osu forever, and you won't leave us - Taiko players, because you have achieved too much to waste it.

Through this TWC there was a moments of fun, moments of hard competition, and there was sad or almost depressful moments. You won't feel them through normal playing osu!, or on normal multiplayer matches. There was everywhere a spirit of competition, which gaved us power, and ability to keep fighting. It's a great feeling, really.

And I want to thank you - Taiko World Cup Staff, in particular the organizer of this tournament - Lepidopodus. You made a really good work once again!..

I want to thank you - Community of Taiko World Cup. Thanks to team that we were challenging, those words of good luck before game, conversation about stress, about.. everything. (aabc263, thanks:). There was a lot of fun to watch and play with you. I won't forget it for long. But it seems a career of Poland this time is over. Just want to wish good luck to Germany B, and our incoming match - I hope it would be excellent.:)

That's why I'm trying to help everyone. Because it's really wonderful tournament.

Good luck everyone, do your best, try to be the best, and reach the top!..

Goddamnit DarkSty, don't do this to me man, we wont hold anything against you and we won't try to stop you with anything you are going to do but we will very much miss your presence here and you are indeed a great buddy, don't think of leaving before you give each and everyone in here a big thad hug and kiss, we will definitely need it to overcome your loss but man, this is very regretable, i am at the loss of words, please overthink about it man. <3

DarkStoorM
Uh... guys... you won't miss me, believe me... I am just an unknown, random player.
The truth is that I was playing Taiko, because I just wanted to try it out. It was like playing something different than osu standard.
I liked Taiko, but didn't play it much, just to get good in it or something. It's just fun to play it.

Acrith, I am not a good player, goddamnit. I have never passed even a one Taiko diff (maybe one, lol).
My "skill" is as same as the rest of polish players. I mean passing only an osu difficulty. We have many players like that.
And I am not different. Taiko is just too hard for me.

Locher, sure:
/me gives a big hug to osu!

I will just login this night to watch the second round.
I'm out after this.
Maybe I will login sometimes... I don't know.

Farewell~

Don't be funny. You have never passed even a one Taiko diff? Maybe you're telling about that 240bpm overmapped songs that Firce made. I still trying to told you that you're really good taiko player, and you were doing well on this tournament. I could make a large list of people who agree with me. Sometimes I think you don't believe at yourself...

Don't ever give up! even if you think you are unknown, look how many people care, so many people want you to stay... you even said it yourself, it's not about winning or losing, it's all about having fun. You got the chance to meet all these people and had the opportunity to play with these wonderful people. This is a step closer to achieving a better taiko community. You want Poland to go far? Be apart of that process! Help Poland become better, they need you. Such spirit and warmth helps everyone, and one bright light will lead to many others.

I'm not going to force you into staying, but you even yourself said that taiko is fun for you to play. If it's fun, then there's no reason to leave. What, just because you think you suck? If it's the least bit enjoyable, that's a good enough reason to keep your presence around here. It's not right to just leave because you think you suck, if because other people's skill level scared you out of it or made you feel bad about your own skill, it's not right...

It's just not right... ; ;

Well, xcherry, you convinced me enough and thank you. Maybe it's a bad idea to quit.
But I don't know... maybe I will play just from time to time. I was just addicted to osu D:
Didn't have time to other things, because I had always osu opened D:... that's why I wanted to quit.
But it doesn't change the fact that Taiko will always be too hard for me... haven't seen any sense to train more \o/
