Wipeout HD Fury - OMNIUM Tournament
January 2013

The Omnium Tournament incorporates all game modes within Wipeout HD Fury, and will run throughout January 2013. The tournament is open to everyone, regardless of ability, and uses both online and offline competition with flexible timings to allow everyone to compete. There will be 7 rounds of events, spanning four days during the week in the case of offline modes and over the weekends for online modes. All players finishing in the top three of their groups will advance to a final round at the end of the month.

NB: Please be aware that you will require the PS3 version to compete

RULES OF PLAY- OFFLINE

All offline game modes will be played over a window spanning four days. Competitors will have this allocated time to race on each track to gain as high a score/zone or as low a time as possible. In order to submit a time for competition, competitors must provide a screenshot of the post race statistics or a link to a video of the run (again, including the post-race statistics). Please note in the case of videos that the video must be available for viewing BEFORE the end of the window, or it will not count, so uploaders must account for upload time. In order to encourage fair competition and also to make sure I’m not snowed under with organising all this, each competitor will only be allowed to submit a single entry per track. Once this has been submitted, it CANNOT be revoked so be careful before hitting send. You can send all your entries at once or in however many batches you like.

Please keep your times and scores private until the window closes, this provides an extra sense of strategy as to whether to submit a score or not if you don’t know what your opponents have. If you choose to upload a video, please set it to "Unlisted" and send me or an event manager the link. You can make it public once the window has expired. Anyone who does not submit an entry for a track within the window will score zero for that track. Entries for each offline stage MUST have been achieved inside the window – anyone found cheating by entering times and scores obtained outside this window will be disqualified from the whole tournament. And of course, all entries must be achieved using v2.51 of the game.


RULES OF PLAY – ONLINE

The online segments of the tournament will take place on weekends to allow for the best possible opportunity for everyone to be available. The standard advised time reserved for competition to begin will be 8pm GMT on the Saturday of each weekend. This is flexible as long as your group can agree on an alternative. In extreme circumstances I will allow online events to take place outside the window, but please complete them ASAP to allow for scores to be collated. Your group must agree on a host in advance to set up the lobby and invite players, and they may also set up a chat room if they wish. Results of each individual race must be recorded so that the total can be added up at the end of each stage. Once the tournament has finished, final scores must be submitted so they can be added to the results table.

Where applicable, the following general rules must apply for online competition


Barrel rolls must be ON
Weapons must be ON
Pilot Assist must be ALLOWED
Weapon Hints must be OFF
Laps must be set to the default for each speed class


DISCONNECTIONS

It’s probably inevitable that somewhere along the line, someone is going to lose their connection and drop out of a game. To keep things fair, we’re going to enforce the same rules regarding disconnections as we had during the Rebirth tournament:



If someone drops out of a game while still in the lobby, the host must enter the settings menu to disable the countdown timer and wait for the player to reconnect. They will then need to issue a fresh invite. Continue as normal
If a player disconnects while in game, but before the countdown at the start of a race has completed, all players must disconnect immediately. The host will then need to set up a fresh lobby and reinvite all players, resuming the tournament from the same race. This is why it is important to record positions after every race during a tournament. The same is true if a player drops at the end of a race after all players have finished
If a player disconnects DURING a race, unfortunately they will score zero for that race. The other players must finish the race and allow enough time for results to be recorded, then they must disconnect and the host should set the race up again as above.


It is not beneficial to any player to deliberately disconnect, but if you find that you are having major connection issues, it would be sporting of you to withdraw from the round. Especially if it may cause problems for the other members of your group.


SCORING

Scoring will vary from event to event, but the arrangement of points earned for position will remain the same throughout the tournament. The term “normal ranking points” will be used to refer to the standard allocation of points for position at the end of a race. That is:


1st – 8 points
2nd – 6 points
3rd – 5 points
4th – 4 points
5th – 3 points
6th – 2 points
7th – 1 points
8th or DNF – 0 points


Points will either be awarded for ranking at the end of an individual race, or at the end of a block of races. I will go into more detail on this in the events description.


SUBMISSION OF RESULTS

Before the tournament starts, I will organise a team of event managers who will help me collate the results from each round. Results will need to be sent either to me or to one of the event managers. The type of submission required will be detailed in the Events section for each individual event. For offline events, you will need to send your submissions to me or the event managers personally as a PM on WipeoutZone, either in one batch or spread out how you like. For online game modes, only the final ranking for each block of races will be needed. It is advisable during online game modes to have more than one person recording results in case one of them disconnects.



Events Schedule

http://i1311.photobucket.com/albums/s672/Hellfire_WZ/OmniumSchedulesmall.jpg

Please note - the deadline for the Finals has been changed to Sunday 3rd February

The schedule above shows the windows over which each round will take place. For offline game modes, they represent the time allowed to achieve your best results and to submit them. For online game modes, they represent the time allowed to organise and complete your event with your group. As it will be difficult to allocate a strict opening and closing time for each window because of time zones, I will determine this at a later date.

Tracks will be revealed for each round when the window opens. This is to allow everyone a fair stab at each event.



THE FINAL

http://i1311.photobucket.com/albums/s672/Hellfire_WZ/OmniumFinalposter_zps08afa5c2.jpg


The Finals will consist of a mixed series of events containing all game modes. They will feature various speed classes, Zone targets and score targets, and will be both online and offline. There is a five day window in which your group will need to complete all their events, and they may be completed in any order at any time. Each group will have an event manager - Hellfire_WZ will manage the Gold and Bronze finals while Colonel will manage the Silver final. Submission of scores and race results will be done in the same way as the original events.

The tracks and game modes for the Final are as follows, along with how each event will be ranked.


ONLINE SINGLE RACE
Normal ranking points for position

The Amphiseum Reverse - Venom
Sol 2 - Venom
Tech De Ra Reverse - Flash
Vineta K - Flash

Normal ranking points are awarded for position at the end of each of the seven rounds, so the final will be judged over a total of 56 available points. All results must be submitted to the event manager for your group by midnight on Sunday 3rd February. The winners will be announced the following day

GOOD LUCK!


The full results for the group stages and finals are attached below

[GekkoP]

I won't miss it this time. Meanwhile, I have time to make myself comfortable with online races. I know you'll kick my a** badly, but it will be fun.

[scarfrogers]

I am putting in the time! All about practise. Get those BRs rolling :)

[docfo4r]

I'll try to make it this time aswell!

[SaturnReturn]

I'll have to see what the format is before committing, but will enjoy taking part if time allows, despite not having a clue with anything other than Phantom racing.

[JFthebestJan]

this sounds very ambitious. :)

kind of a 'wipEout HD Cup 2.0 Extreme Extended Edition'
im in

[Colonel]

I think it's an amazing idea and I can't wait. I've no doubt whatsoever this will be massive.

[Aeralys]

sayyyyyyy whaaaaaaaaaaaaaaat? Sweet. Any early details on how we'll submit TT and SL times? Would there be a number of attempts per track or a timeframe to set our best?

[blackwiggle]

I know we are the current bastion [From Sony's perspective ] of all things WIPEOUT.
Otherwise these upcoming comp alert would not be being posted here.

But, as I am not following Facebook or Twitter, so I might seem slightly out of the loop, I find it rather strange that all other regions / Languages and forums [ as far as I know] are not getting the same attention as the Wipeoutzone.

This seems rather strange, since as all long term pilots know this is not just a game just for the English speaking, many a friend of many a pilot at this forum would not speak the same language yet we still are on each others friends list and race against each other regularly .

I don't see this being catered for Big Picture wise

A lot of Wipeout tragics don't know about the Wipeoutzone.... or even if they do, they might not like trying to work out what is being said in English via Babelfish or whatever software people try to sort these things out with if Japanese / Italian / Portuguese / Korean etc is not their native tongue.

That's a LOT of Pilots left out of the loop.

Has AMI posted the same at Wipeout Arena?
I haven't checked, but it would be a HUGE slight, and very remiss if this video has not had a French equivalent made, and posted at Wipeout Arena .. I mean How many French are amoung the elite Phantom pilots, and how hard would it be to cater for them since they are a major part of Wipeout's fan base.

Just curious.
I love this game and want to see it stay alive, and if I think something could be done a bit better, or that some opportunity has been missed, well as a long term fan, and for that matter a long term Wipeoutzone forum member, I feel a duty to bring these matters up.

That's all.

Why if this is a Sony lead comp, anything being posted at the official Sony PlayStation Forums?

Actually: If Sony has given the position to AMI to be the spokesperson for Wipeout HD/FURY/2048, and that Wipeout is Sony owned, she should be able to utilize all of the "Official Sony PlayStation Forums amenities "
Those being "Global Translation" and posting at official Sony PlayStation forums.

Go GIRL!!!:mr-t

[Hellfire_WZ]

It's not an official Sony tournament, it's all being organised by me. It's all in its infancy at the moment, I only really got the general idea for something like this fairly recently. The reason why it is here instead of the Arena is because I am aiming for it to be advertised across all channels once it has all been finalised, with Ami helping to do so. Funny enough I was talking to Ami only last week about involving Wipeout Arena more in our upcoming large scale events, but as you say the issue is likely to be the language barrier. This is where we're gonna need help to spread the word of events like this if there are people on this forum who are more suited to communicate where we can't.

[scarfrogers]

I'm so pleased you guys are organising things and setting up all the tournys - it really is great and much appreciated!

I don't know if Weed_Junky uses this forum? I need to send him a message on the PS3 because he is always on Wipeout and a pretty dedicated pilot! I will try and message some others that I haven't seen on here and recommend this site to them! :)

[Knux_Chaotix]

Ooooooooooh Im looking forward to this :P Looks to be AWESOME!!! But I keep reading OMNIUM as OMNOMNOMNOM lol

[blackwiggle]

Weed_ Junky seems to have at least 4 separate Weed_Junky Accounts from what I know of from seeing the online names that appear.

Sending a message to one [The original in my case, since that's the one on my friends list ] might mean ages before a reply

[scarfrogers]

lol I know! I have up to Weed_Junky3. He always replys and is friendly though so I am sure he will be up for some of these events :)

[Bollywood_Bandit]

I hope this tournament is planned for 3 weeks time +... I'm in India and don't have a PS3 with me so bleh. Once I get back to UK, I can dust off the Ica and give it some love :D

I haven't played wipeout regularly now for a heck of a long time. I rarely get online, and when I do, I've noticed that the level of competition is seriously up there.

Am excited !!! Big Up hellfire_wz, you holding it up for us bro!

@Blackwiggle, send a message to all 4 accounts - they all in sequence.

Ok.
Thanks Charlie
That's cleared things up considerably.
If help is needed for any of this just ask.
I'm sure Leungbok or Kaori will want to alert the ARENA pilots.
Who to alert our Japanese pilots ? .... I'm not quite sure ... AKO perhaps?
Just peruse what is available via separate Playstation forums in the options menu, vis a vie what different countries have their own forums.
Quite a few Europe wide ....KANAR used most of them to post for the World Cup ... Did his head in poor chap and no longer races.:cold

[Ami Nakajima]

Hey blackwiggle!

The promotion of Omnium will be promoted via official channels once details are confirmed, therefore involving the wider community as well as WZ.

As Charlie mentioned, I have spoken about how wicked it would be to involve the Arena guys and ways of which we could pass the language barrier and get them involved with us too. I'd LOVE to see them join us!
With your help (along with the rest of our community) we should be able to solve this. If we can all make other Pilots aware of competitions and get-togethers using our own languages, we should be covered

Help your brothers and sisters out!

[GekkoP]

If I can be of any help just let me know. I'm Italian, don't know how many Italian pilots are here in WipeoutZone, but anyway. For all your Italian issues, count me in.

[Colonel]

I don't know if Weed_Junky uses this forum? I need to send him a message on the PS3 because he is always on Wipeout and a pretty dedicated pilot!:)

I think the dedicated pilot is a fair assessment, he's at about rank 75 with Weed_Junky3, no doubt it'll be 101 within the next few months, then back to rank 1 with Weed_Junky4! He always platinums the game with each new account too, the man's a machine :robot

Anyway, as you say, would be good to get him on board and he always replies to PSN messages, he's a good guy.

If you need something similiar to Kanar's WipEout HD Cup regarding 'community leaders' I would happily offer my services. :)

[blackwiggle]

Just for future reference.
Incase threads and posts get deleted.

Here is the link to AKO-SHO's Japanese based "All Things Wipeout"

If ther was ever a rabid Wipeout fan ... AKO - SHO is well up there.

[Hellfire_WZ]

Just finished designing the banner for the tournament, feel free to shunt this around nearer the time to get people's interest ;)

[GekkoP]

very beautiful. I'll share it around.

[ericd7]

Nice work on the banner :) and thank you for organising this tournament.Count me in.

[onlykpop]

This sounds like alot of fun! IN 8)

[Defjukie16]

Be warned kpop. Racing is not the only thing you have to worry about :)

[Magicion88]

Hey guys, quick question: I want to join this tournament, but all I have is a PS Vita with WipEout 2048. I have also downloaded the HD Fury pack so is it possible for me to join in? Or do I have to get a PS3?
-Magicion88

[Hellfire_WZ]

Hey

Sorry, this is going to be a PS3-only tournament. A fully customisable racebox will be needed to set up each event, and we encountered huge problems with Vita users trying to join games in the Rebirth tournament.

[docfo4r]

I can't wait for it :)

Only thing I wonder about is how Detonator and all other single-player-only modes will be handled..

[Hellfire_WZ]

I'm thinking of setting a number of tracks (with speed classes where necessary) and giving all players in each group a number of days to get the highest score/time/zone they can. Only one submission, and it must be accompanied by a screenshot or video.

[Magicion88]

Hey

Sorry, this is going to be a PS3-only tournament. A fully customisable racebox will be needed to set up each event, and we encountered huge problems with Vita users trying to join games in the Rebirth tournament.

Aww... What did you guys try to do? I would have hoped the party-system would've worked...
-Magicion88

[Ragsus Maxima]

Looks quite promising. A large scale Racebox League. Count me in! :)

[Hellfire_WZ]

If there's enough demand I may try and sort out a separate Vita tournament to run alongside it, although organising the direct online competition parts may be awkward as you cannot set up private games. Don't worry though, I've got something smaller lined up for December that everyone can take part in, whether on a Vita or PS3 ;)

[stin]

Put me in

stevie:)

[Hellfire_WZ]

I'm sitting here looking at the provisional tournament schedule right now - trust me guys, it looks the bollocks ;)

[Colonel]

Fantastic, I'm really looking forward to this.

[Azurooth]

Missed out on the last one, will not miss this one.

[scarfrogers]

I'm in! This Saturday right? I should be around most of the day but not late afternoon/evening. Exciting!! :)

[Rapier Racer]

This looks awesome :D count me in, plenty of brush up time as well. That promotional piece you put together looks great :)

[Hellfire_WZ]

It's getting closer :) The schedule and arrangements for each round are now ready, registration will be open on the 1st December


http://youtu.be/BRe-zy5EH1I

[Mikahail]

Nice trailer ! :+

[scarfrogers]

I'm so in! :) Dam I had better start trying Phantom speed out asap...great...!

Flash. IT WILL BE MINE *first lap gets eliminated and rage quits* ...lol

[Knux_Chaotix]

Im so excited for this!!! The video looked great btw!!! I do love Eliminators a little too much :P

[AG-SYSTEMS]

Now I should really figure out how to get a PSN account.

[GekkoP]

Great trailer, really looking forward to this.

[AGSys]

This is going to be epic. Like the real 'epic', not text language. I finally got HD and Fury so I can try to participate in this thing at least a little. I can't wait to sign up. Really awesome trailer by the way!

[onlykpop]

Been practicing for this! Pretty excited ;)

[ID_7of9]

Miles, you don't need to practice... ;D

[scarfrogers]

Oh God out come the big ones..pilots you don't mess with :) My thumbs are gonna bleed...!

[ID_7of9]

Oh God out come the big ones..pilots you don't mess with :) My thumbs are gonna bleed...!

no pain, no gain! :g

[MightyJordan]

Just saw the trailer (thanks to Ami Nakajima's tweet); count me in for this one! This will be a great unwind for me after my current university assignments. :)

[Hellfire_WZ]

The first post has been updated, all details on the structure and schedule for the tournament are now available. Registration will open on Saturday :)

[GekkoP]

HUGE!

One problem for me though: from 1 to 4 January I'm not at home. I'll be here ready for the rest of the tournament but I don't really know how to sort out those first time trials. Damn.

[Hellfire_WZ]

I can sort out contingency plans for anyone unavailable during those times, the penalties will only apply to anyone who IS available and doesn't submit a time :)

[Colonel]

I've just finished reading the format and rules. Wow, this must really have taken some thought Charlie. Looks great it really does, and of course I'll volunteer for the event manager team.

This is gonna be immense, I anticipate some late nights and some early mornings :g

[Knux_Chaotix]

Wow... Just wow... This looks intense!!! Practice practice practice time I think ^_^ Cannot wait!!!

[UB3R~JKP]

Oh yeah, time to get back on the track. :D

[GekkoP]

I can sort out contingency plans for anyone unavailable during those times, the penalties will only apply to anyone who IS available and doesn't submit a time :)

Thank you. I'll do the best I can to be available since I know this will be very hard to organise and probably everyone's going to have some problem more or less.

[Ace3000]

I have a question; are we able to use any ship livery in the tournament? Like for instance, the Zone Battle or the Silver skin?

Also, can I record the tournament from my point of view?

[Hellfire_WZ]

Yes and yes :)

[Ace3000]

Awesome, thanks a bunch!

[Dark_Phantom_89]

Wow, this looks absolutely incredible! Seriously Hellfire, you've outdone yourself here and I can't wait for this! :hyper

[Hellfire_WZ]

Thanks a lot guys, this is why I'm doing this :)

We're two days away from opening registration, I'm gonna need everyone to try and get as much interest going in this as we can get. Put it out on every channel you know, get Arena involved. We've got the trailer, spread that around too. Ami is helping out by advertising it to the wider community on Twitter (thanks a lot for that, really appreciated!). My initial target is 64 players like the Rebirth tournament, but if we end up with more somehow I'll worry about that when we get there. After all, it's a good problem to have ;)

Of course, please do make it clear that it is a PS3-only tournament due to the issues we had with the Vita in the last one.

[Knux_Chaotix]

Done and done ^_^ shared it via FB, Twitter etc. Hopefully get it some more interest ^_^

[Colonel]

I've forewarned the lads I work with that I'll be doing reduced hours on Tuesdays and Wednesdays throughout January. I've also told Mrs Gaddafi we need to have a serious chat about January as a whole, and that I'll basically be free on Mondays, Thursdays and Fridays.

She shook her head, said "I'm going to work" and left. I'm sure she'll be fine, she's probably just excited about the whole thing and doesn't know how to show it. Fascinating creatures, women.

[Medusa]

LOL you can say that again. And again, and again, and again...

I think it's awesome that Detonator is incorporated into this one, Hellfire. Great way to keep such a great game alive!

[Knux_Chaotix]

I'm sure she'll be fine, she's probably just excited about the whole thing and doesn't know how to show it. Fascinating creatures, women.

That right there, BRILLIANT!!! And very much true too lol

[GekkoP]

She shook her head, said "I'm going to work" and left. I'm sure she'll be fine, she's probably just excited about the whole thing and doesn't know how to show it. Fascinating creatures, women.

Yeah, my wife's same reaction. She may be worried I won't let her play LittleBigPlanet on January.

[scarfrogers]

I'm not going to tell mine. Unless I want to test my health insurance

[Hellfire_WZ]

Registration is now open! You know how to go about doing it guys, I'll be compiling the participants list as of tomorrow :)

Boost-select-boost. I know it was removed in an earlier version of the game in favour of the current lap reset system, but I think I recall hearing that it can be replicated. Just a back-covering statement really to ensure a level playing field.

After coming dead last in the semis in REBIRTH, I felt like I let myself down, the power was in my controller and my controller failed me, with it being glitchy and dodgy this past year. I'm pushed myself to the next level with it, and now with my R2 button broken off, I still practice and compete and conquer. Being a freelancer while going to school, work is not abundant but It's the holiday season and regardless of what controller I'm using, I will try my best to make this and win.

[Hellfire_WZ]

Nice one, cheers ;)

[Colonel]

Well done that man, very cool indeed. Can't wait now.

[Ace3000]

haha, neither can I! That's partially why I made it. The other reason was because I was trying a different video editing software than what I normally use, but from the looks of it, I think I did a pretty good job.

[Hellfire_WZ]

We're gonna need to make a real push for new participants over the next couple of weeks as we're not far away from starting! Once the advent calendar is done I'll be putting all my effort into getting this back into the limelight.

[Colonel]

I'll be sending PSN messages to everybody on my friends lists, that haven't already expressed an interest.

[Hellfire_WZ]

Not a lot of time left to register now guys, I'll be drawing groups on the 30th :) Let's see if we can get any more in before then!

[scarfrogers]

Quick question - will the races be over weekends/evenings? I have work during the week and away the 10th weekend - hope this doesn't matter 2 much...?

Looking forward to it! :)

- - - Updated - - -

[Hellfire_WZ]

I've scheduled events to be as flexible as possible without taking them too far out of whack. Offline events are during the week and can be done over four days. Online events are over the weekend and can be organised within your group as to what time they happen. If not everyone can make it for some reason then they can be rearranged for another convenient time ASAP after that window. I'm doing groups around time zones to make this as easy as possible.

[GekkoP]

Maybe it'll be the only time in my life I say this, but I so hope the job interview I did last Friday won't go well, otherwise I can't be in. I'll pretty much be around Italy working if they hire me.
Meanwhile, I'm spreading the word around on my facebook and twitter accounts.

[Knux_Chaotix]

Been circulating this round almost every form of social network thing Im on since it was announced lol. Hopefully it'll attract a few more people. Looking forward to it ^_^

[Germanistgeek]

Well, just got the PS3 with HD Fury and 5 other games so, i'm in too :)

[Hellfire_WZ]

Yep, you're in :) Need more!

[Aeralys]

Dammit, my friend's stag do is on the 19th, so I'm gonna have trouble competing in the zone battle event if not at all. What to do what to do...

[Hellfire_WZ]

As I said, there will be times where someone may not be available on a certain weekend, so online events can be played a short time outside the window in exceptional circumstances. If the worst absolutely comes to the worst, the majority of points are available in the offline modes anyway ;)

[UB3R~JKP]

Oooooh, its Group d-day!

[TheConzio]

Cant wait for the groups to be announced :D

[Hellfire_WZ]

I'm in the process of doing the groups now. I'm sorting by time zone first, so if you're a long way from GMT you can probably guess who'll be in your group. This hasn't been as easy as I'd anticipated due to odd numbers so it may be the case that a few of you will be competing in a group where the majority will be up to 5 hours ahead or behind. However, this will be no more than 5 hours. This should only be an issue on weekends though so hopefully there'll be plenty of time to arrange a meet. Unfortunately this means that while all groups should have 7 in them, one group will have to have 6 people and one will have 8. There's no other way to do this without having someone play in a group where they are as many as 11 hours apart.

As for the rest of you, you're going through the random sorting process. Although I'm trying to avoid creating any groups of death as far as I can, so don't expect to see any Booney-kpop-Ryuga-Jan armageddon going down ;) That's not to say some of you won't be matched up against each other, but not nearly whole groups of you.

[Colonel]

So excited, this is gonna be incredible! I'll be refreshing this page every 5 minutes :g

Great stuff, some really interesting groups have come out there. I like that vlhad and jorge have been drawn against each other, nice bit of sibling rivalry there. Also Knux and RR being drawn together, excellent. No group of death as such but some very tasty ones indeed. Good work Charlie, looking forward to it immensely :)

[Ace3000]

Awesome! Can't wait for the 1st of Jan!

one question were do we post are pictures of are lap times

[TheConzio]

Its awesome because i have my friend from school in my group :D (epicdudettu)

[Hellfire_WZ]

one question were do we post are pictures of are lap times

Each group will be assigned two event managers - one for offline game modes and one for online. When you're ready to submit times you'll need to send your screenshots to the event manager for your group.

[Ace3000]

Epicness

I'll say! We're in the same group!

[TheConzio]

Awesome!

[GekkoP]

Gosh! I'm already dead! :D

[ericd7]

I just sent invites to some players i've met online today, didn't realise it's Group-Day..
I can't say if they're interessed yet but is there a waiting list or should i tell them it's over?

[Knux_Chaotix]

LOL!!! In a group with the other half and some awesome pilots!!! This is going to be AMAZING!!!

[Hellfire_WZ]

Eric, I'm willing to keep adding pilots as long as there's space, but everyone needs to be in place ready to start on the 1st. We only have a handful left though and time zones could make it awkward

[stin]

Nae bother, I can`t beat these shithot guys!!! :blarg wow!, looking forward to this.

stevie:)

[ericd7]

I got reply from 1 player who isn't interessed.
Waiting for the second one who's from japan.
He probably sleeps atm.Hopefully he'll connect tomorow, could join group 8.

[Hellfire_WZ]

That's perfect! Group 8 was looking a bit lonely ;)

[onlykpop]

Wow the excitement is increasing! Cant wait :D

[Hellfire_WZ]

Meesiash has been added to Group 5. I will accept late registrations as long as I can reasonably accommodate them, but the absolute final deadline is midnight tomorrow, as the tournament will be starting

[UB3R~JKP]

So excited to get started. :D

[TheConzio]

Can there be anyone else for group 8...?

[Hellfire_WZ]

I would, but the issue is the time zones. If someone is happy to play against a group that could be as many as 11 hours ahead then that's fine, but it may be very awkward trying to organise a meet up for online events on every weekend.

New player in Group 1, JTPiranha has joined

[ericd7]

I told Ayaea25 who could enter group 8, to come and register here before tonight but he was not sure to have enough time for playing the whole tournament :|

[Hellfire_WZ]

Agh, that's a shame :? Do we know any other Japanese/Australian/NZ pilots that could step in?

I'm going to organise event managers in a bit, who will be responsible for collating results and sending them to me at the end of each round. Each manager will be responsible for their group for online events, and the next group along for offline. I'll explain the reasons for that later on ;) I'll do it from my group, and I'll try and call in long-term players to help out.

[onlykpop]

ayaea25 is a She :) And I could ask some Japanese/Australian friends of mine if they would like to join!

[TheConzio]

That's great, would love to have a few extra in my group :)

[Aeralys]

Well I'm going to get slaughtered, both tonight for new year's celebrations and online by my group competition. I have a lot more going on in January than I expected so hopefully I can still make it to everything.

OK , sign me up.
I, have avoided committing myself till now only because of the time difference, but it seems I could be able to participate [as in accommodating strange play against times] for at least the next 4 weeks

[Hellfire_WZ]

Thanks a bunch mate, everyone in Group 8 ranges from +8 to +13 so hopefully a five hour difference from one end to the other will be fine :)

[blackwiggle]

OK, Locked in :+

[TheConzio]

Thank you!

[Hellfire_WZ]

Right, here is the provisional event manager list. This is just a compilation of names who I think would be best suited for the job, so if you don't want to or feel you can't commit, please let me know. Remember, event managers will be in charge of collating results from their own group for online events, and the next group along for offline events (Group 8's event manager would therefore be in charge of Group 1's offline results)

GROUP 1 - Defjukie16
GROUP 2 - LJtheZombie
GROUP 3 - Dark_Phantom_89
GROUP 4 - Rapier_Racer
GROUP 5 - JFthebestJan
GROUP 6 - Hellfire_WZ
GROUP 7 - Colonel__Gaddaffi
GROUP 8 - theconzio

[TheConzio]

Will i need to notify the people in my group (and group 1) that im their event manager?

[Hellfire_WZ]

You could do, but I'll make sure everyone checks the list here before they begin to submit their results :)

[Rapier Racer]

Group manager eh? No problem dude happy to help out :)

[blackwiggle]

Happy new year.

In case nobody asked it or maybe I havn't seen it just two little questions. Who are the event/group managers to sent the screenshots to? And this round ends Saturday 0:00 for the individual timezone?

Okay found the event managers in post #186. :)

[Hellfire_WZ]

The event manager list is a couple of pages back, it's finalised now. I'll highlight them in the groups on the first page. Remember you'll need to send your screenshots to the manager of the group before yours. And yeah, it'll be midnight for each individual timezone.

[Feydius]

Thanks Hellfire.

I know the info for Round 1 says to take a screenshot, but could we post a video of the time trial?

[Hellfire_WZ]

Yes, you can send the link to the event manager, but please make sure it includes the post-race stats screen. Also, remember that you will need to keep your times quiet until the window has passed so you will need to set the video as Unlisted until then.

[Ace3000]

Awesome, thanks man!

[Liger Inuzuka]

Hello~
I am not sure where to post this question, as I am a bit of a newcomer to forums at all;
Anyhow, I see one of the rules are to keep your submission results private until the end of a window. However we have to submit them during the window. If our only method of recording the results are thru photographic screenshots, where and when do we submit/upload them? I am a bit confused.

[scarfrogers]

stupid question but why do we need to keep times quiet? Flash and Venom here I come! ;)

[amjw]

Yes, you can send the link to the event manager, but please make sure it includes the post-race stats screen. Also, remember that you will need to keep your times quiet until the window has passed so you will need to set the video as Unlisted until then.

[don't know how to delete, sorry - you just answered the question :P]

[Hellfire_WZ]

When I say keep them private, I mean from the rest of your group. You need to send them via a private message here to the event manager in charge of offline events for your group

The reason for keeping them private is to add another layer of uncertainty to submitting your results. If you don't know how the rest of your group are doing then you need to think hard about submitting a time ;)

[scarfrogers]

Oh I see! Maybe I shouldn't be putting them on wipeoutrankings! opps! x3 Top 20s so far! This is great fun btw. WIPEOUT FOREVER!!

[JFthebestJan]

@hellfire: all tracks fwd?

[onlykpop]

Are we allowed to submit our times to our event manager BEFORE the Friday deadline? Sorry we are swamping you with questions lol...

[UB3R~JKP]

I'm sure we are Miles, that is a DEADLINE after all! :D

[Hellfire_WZ]

Jan: Yep, all forward. I'll specify when reverse tracks are being used.

Miles: As Brendan said, it's a deadline, you can submit your times anytime up until then. Remember though that only your first time submitted per track will be accepted

It`s a pity I just cannie play today or tonight due I`m just fecking pissed as hell...lolol

[Aeralys]

I'm afraid I have to drop out of the tournament. I'm no longer living somewhere where I have access to the game, so I won't be online for a least a good month. I knew where I was moving to may have made some complications but I wasn't sure If it was going to be a problem for playing in the tournament, so yeah. Sorry! Not a great start to the year for me...

[Hellfire_WZ]

Ah sh*t, sorry to hear that dude... :(

morfeo378 will be taking Aeralys' place in Group 2

[AGSys]

Oh damn, better get right on task! So pumped up for this.

[Light Buster]

Going to be recording my runs via video. Will give manager private link to video if that's cool.

[Defjukie16]

Everyone is Group 2!! I'm your event manger and if you wanna send images, use wipeoutzone.com, click "Insert Image" on the bar: 7220 you can only use a outside site like flickr which is the easiest to use and sign up to, or the easiest way is to just upload the image to your PS3 then send the image to my PSN Account: Defjukie16. If you would like to send a private video, I'm on Youtube and here's my account link:

http://www.youtube.com/user/Defjukie16?feature=mhee

If you're on Vimeo, we can make it work. Anymore questions just email my account via PSN account or wipeoutzone.com

[scarfrogers]

Annoying being at work! Wish I was doing some TimeTrials right now :( Played a bit too much yesterday though and couldn't fall asleep - Wipeout on the brain!

[TheConzio]

That's what happened to me yesterday!

[Hellfire_WZ]

Defjukie - you can use the attachment system in PMs as well to send images

[Liger Inuzuka]

Before the tournament began the other day, I accidentally ignored the friend request from our group leader. I didn't know who he was, not to mention his screen name confused me. It was an honest mistake. But now I do not know how to amend this problem without him resending it to me. Is there a way to notify Colonel Gaddafi to do so?

[Hellfire_WZ]

Send one to him, he'll accept it. Otherwise you can PM him on here. Remember though that your offline results need to come to me, he'll be managing the online events.

[ericd7]

Best wishes for 2013!
Happy to start the new year by playing WO with you :)

[Liger Inuzuka]

I tried searching on the forums for a Colonel Gaddafi, if he uses the same name that is. I will try resending him that friend request today as I work on the time trials.
And I do know that I will be sending you personally my race results :D

[terra-wrists]

The tracks for Round 1 are as follows:

Metropia - Venom
The Amphiseum - Venom
Vineta K - Flash
Tech De Ra - Flash
Chenghou Project - Rapier
Talon’s Junction - Rapier
Ubermall - Phantom
Anulpha Pass - Phantom

Each race will be ranked according to best race time, and in the unlikely event of a tie, the best lap time. Normal ranking points will be awarded for each race, providing a maximum of 64 for this round. The deadline for submission is Friday 4th January 2013

[/CENTER]

Congratulations my friend Scarfrogers in the advance :D

[GekkoP]

Sorry guys, problems coming up. I have only tomorrow for the first round, and I think I can make and submit my results to the event manager. But on this weekend I'll be available only on Sunday evening. It doesn't feel right to me to ask everyone in my group to lift Round 2 over to Sunday, I don't want to mess up everyone else's plans.
Let me know, otherwise count me out the tournament. Terrible sorry about it.

[Mikahail]

@Liger : Search Colonel instead. And he has a second accout on PSN : Erik_Ponti. Maybe it's this one that sent you the invite.

[Hellfire_WZ]

GekkoP - This is why I set a window for Saturday and Sunday. You'll need to contact the rest of your group, it needs to be a time convenient to everyone. If the worst happens, it is possible to play that round a day or two after the window. It's your call though if you think this might be a regular occurrence.

[scarfrogers]

lol TERRA-WRISTS! You forget I am a venom and flash pilot. Doing Ubermall on Phantom is not my idea of fun and finding it very hard! Getting the hang of rapier now though ;)

[Laser0pz]

Holy crap I forgot about this.

*quits BF3 and starts up WipEout*
:P

[Hellfire_WZ]

Ah sh*t! Ran into a somewhat unanticipated administrative problem - you can't send attachments in PMs. Right, I think the easiest way to get your screenshots to event managers will be to use a site like Photobucket and send them the links. Alternatively if they are happy for you to email their results to you then you can do it that way as well.

[onlykpop]

Charlie I ran into that problem yesterday. But what you can do is send all the images to your email, dont download but click "view image" from your inbox (specific email) and you can copy and paste the links into a PM to your Manager. I submitted mine yesterday and Defjukie said they cam through perfectly!

[UB3R~JKP]

I've had a torrid time this round. :( Just have to hope I can somehow not finish bottom for each...really not been able to nail it at all!

[scarfrogers]

Will we find out the results of the TT before the next event? Hope so! Only because I am not a zome/elim/det pilot! :)

[Hellfire_WZ]

Yeah, I'll give updates at the end of each round.

I'll suggest using Photobucket as the standard means of submitting results, but if event managers are happy to use a different method then that'll be up to them and their group. If you're sending results to me, please email them. I'll PM my address to everyone.

I'll keep an eye out for that PM then, Hellfire. :)

I sent a PSN message to everyone instead, that way I know everyone will see it

By the way, has anyone heard from LJ at all? According to PSN he hasn't been online for a couple of days...

So far, i haven't received anything from group 1 (I'm their event manager) and tomorrow is the deadline...

[Defjukie16]

No TheConzio, friday at midnight is the deadline and cam-let is finished with his, he was confused and sent the results to me but I cleared everything up.

Does anybody know Pharron66's username on wipeoutzone?

[TheConzio]

Are you able to tell him to send the results to me?

[Medusa]

I'm confused, am I sending my photos to Defjukie or conzio? Or only the offline photos to theconzio?
ok nevermind, I'm sorted now...

[onlykpop]

Medusa, if you are in group 1 all of your photos (all 8 Time Trials) must go to theconzio!

Hey got a question, I'm an offline competitor and I have very crappy cameras and the TV is just way too blurry. I can barely read the text on the screen in the game. And the pictures I've taken so far look very blurry (even though you can make out a little of what the times are). The overall time trial time as well is just unreadable (since it's, again, very blurry with the addition of the very light grey background behind the white text) so the only way to read my times are to add the lap times up. Is this okay?
