Hail to all Punaball World cup competitors!
As we have gotten the bulk of our signups, we thought it was time for a short briefing. As of today we have about 40-signed players from 14 countries.
Here are the first basic qualifications rules:
Every country is allowed to have 2 teams with a maximum of 4 players. One of the players in that team is considered to be captain of that team. The captain of that team will do all negotiations when needed with the captain of the opposing team or with the organisation of the punaball World Cup if necessary. He will also decide which players will play during the matches. So we recommend u choose your captains wisely. The profile of your captain should be: The oldest, wisest guy from your team having the smallest ego. If u can’t point out your leader we advice that u do a voting, if u still can’t pick one out, we will pick one for u.
Furthermore we think it would be a nice thing to play ur games with cars coloured in the colours of ur national flag, but this is optional.
If there are more than 8 players willing to compete in the World Cup we strongly suggest u do a national qualification so that 8 players remain. We, the organisation, can offer a pointing system to determine ur best 8 players and arrange for a qualification system if u would appreciate that.
Pls remember to activate ur msn-accounts if u haven’t got one. All email addresses and msn-passports will be placed somewhere on this forum so everyone can contact everyone. It is important that u offer us this info, otherwise this Cup cannot be played.
CUP RULES
Time Trial.
- we will do a time trial (2 or 3 legs times 10 minutes) instead of
games with a maximum goal score.
Since players from all over the world will be competing, we think
that a time trial-game is more suitable in giving everyone a fair
chance of winning. U will all play 2 legs of which one is played on
the server of team 1 (or another server chosen by team 1 if team 1
cant host himself) and the other leg is played on the server of team
2 (or another server chosen by team 2 if player 2 cant host themselves).
The server may not have a higher race-ping than 200 ms for the other
team.(which can be checked with the F10 function).
Each leg will be played in 10 minutes, so each game will last exactly
20 or 30 minutes. After the legs have been played, u will add up ur
score from leg 1 and 2 and a winner is drawn from it (first leg 5-8
and second leg 6-4 will result in 11-12 overall and the one with 12
goals wins.)If after two legs the score is even (for example: 8-6 and
5-7) then a third leg is held on a neutral server and will be a best
of 10 game (who ever reaches 5 goals first, wins. So no time trial in
a third leg). The neutral server could be the Auto-server or a server
set up by someone else on which both teams have less than 200 ms
race-ping.
- Pointing system.
Points are awarded as followed: If a team win by two legs and that
team won both legs that team will get 3 points (7-4 7-6) and ur
opponent team will get none. If a team win in overall in two legs but
both teams have won a leg (7-4 5-7) winner team will get 2 points and
opponent team will get 1 point for the leg they won. If u need to play
three legs (first two legs got u an equal score when added up (7-6
6-7 = 13-13), and u win the third leg, your team will get 2 points as
well and ur opponent team gets 1 point for the leg he won.
First round: (2 weeks time)
All teamss will be set up in a group consisting of 4-5 teams This way
u will play 3-4 games in this group.
After the two games have been played, the numbers 1 and 2(or maybe
the 3rd too)will proceed to the next round.
[ALL WILL BE DETERMINED DEPENDING ON HOW MANY TEAMS WILL SIGN UP]
Second round:
The remaining 8 or 16 teams will again fight eachother in a play off system ( we wil soon explain how this system works: it is the system on which the judo wrld cup is based, with double revange)
- Rules:
Because we do a time trial, it is important to keep in mind certain
rules. The most important one is that u may not wait longer than 10
to 15 seconds to cross the middle line and start building up your
attack. Of course we have this rule so u cannot wait until the time
is up when u have a comfortable lead. Pls remember to record all
games u play. Because: If your opponent is braking this rule on
purpose, u may send in ur recording to us so we can decide to
disqualify the game and perhaps also ur opponent. In special
circumstances we may also decide to have the game played all over.
Furthermore u are bound to the normal playing rules which can be
found on www.punaball.com/rules.htm
Pls remember to record your games!
The track to be used is po_arena7_cavern (which can be downloaded
from the punaball auto server) or the punaball-arena made by Ande but
only if both teams agree to this.
If one of the opponents doesn't want to play in Ande's Arena, u will
play on po_arena7! (u then may not play on po_arena7_alien or
po_arena7_blue or po_arena7_cheese).
Pls remember to record your games!
- SIT Ranking
5 points for each won match (2 points for the substitutes)
Thx in advance. Until soon,

OK good to know, but now all we Finns have to look who will be on the teams, because we are more than 8 players. Also, who will be the captains of these teams. I suggest Matti and Punatiainen, not my self because someone could think that would be a selfish move...
Don´t know how we decide who will be in the team, maybe we should discuss about who should atleast be in the team and make a qualification by those players who are not sure.

Chevron: is all written in the text!!!
Sure u can make an your team (everyone can make a team if he has a partner from his nationality)
Each team must be composed by 2-4 players(with a designed capitain) so if u and your bro don t want to be part of another team of your country go to Ippon forum and sign your team!!!
BUT u have to notice that: with only 2 people is hard to be present for all matches AND MOREOVER rules allowed ONLY 2 teams for countries, so u ll have PRELIMINARY QUALIFICATIONS with the others finnish teams!!!!
[ps: u didn t add me yet to your msn, so at the moment u are NOT in that cup]

We in the Finnish team have to have a meeting and look how we do with this team thing. We have to talk first and see how we do this thing, and maybe a qualification is the best option, maybe for all or for some drivers.
I don´t know how the rest of the Finland team thinks, but my oppinion is that u(chev) and yrneh can not make one team, we have to have 4 players in every team, just to make sure we can play all of our games.
I think we have three players in the Finland team who should atleast be in the team, Matti, Punatiainen and me. Nothing against anyone else, but this is how I think.
Ofcourse, I would want to have a team with all WP team-members in one team, but I think no-one else than WP think this is a good idea.
We have to look for a time when we all meet in Messenger and talk this clear. OK for everyone?

Yep, so I guess we have to look for a qualification time to decide which teams will play in the cup.
Probably WP will be one team, so me(TnT),Kyna_Musti and Pappa will be one team.
I suggest we would do the qualifications as soon as possible, so maybe this weekend would be good.

today I didn't banned you, Amne did it. There was no reason banning you today, so I didn't it. Amne told me that he banned you for your phrase told about italians.
I don't ban without reason.
