www.worldgamecup.com
 
After many heated discussions, we finally decided to follow the general opinion trend (and the public opinion through the poll).

We hesitated a lot with an "updated" version of the EVO rules, but stayed faithful to our French Tradition in the end!

The rules below only apply to the console tournaments (WORLD TEAM CUP tournaments excluded as we already stated in the corresponding sections). The rules & regulations of the arcade tournaments will be announced later this week.

SOLO CONSOLE TOURNAMENTS FORMAT:

For the solo tourneys, the qualifier phase will be played in POOLS, just like last year. It will be pools of 4 or 8 players, according to the size of the tournament:

- Tournament of 32 players: 8 pools of 4 players - 2/3 matches per set - 2 qualifiers per pool.
- Tournament of 64 players: 8 pools of 8 players - 1 match per set - 4 qualifiers per pool.
- Tournament of 128 players: 16 pools of 8 players - 1 match per set - 2 qualifiers per pool.
- Tournament of 256 players: 32 pools of 8 players - 1 match per set - 2 qualifiers per pool.

For each tournament, the exact number of pools & players will be announced at the end of January, when the final number of registered players will be known.

All the qualifier phases of the solo tournaments will be played with double elimination rules:

- 2/3 matches per set until the finals (played in 3/5 sets)


CONSOLE TOURNAMENTS FORMAT FOR THE MASTER SERIES:

- Tournament of MAXIMUM 128 players - Single elimination with sets of 2/3 matches - Finals played in 3/5 sets.


TEAM CONSOLE TOURNAMENTS FORMAT:

All of Friday's team tourneys will follow the same rules & regulations:

- Single elimination team sets, during the whole tournament.


PLEASE NOTE:

As all registrations will now be made Online, the tournaments will begin earlier in the morning (don't be late!).
As a result, the pools will be drawn in early February (with seeded players).
This draw will affect all the console tournaments : solo, team, master series and world team cup events.

The World Game Cup tournaments will be filmed & available on a Online Stream on the Website.

Consequently, players will be able to check their pools and competitors (& their characters) before the tournaments!

Good Luck Everyone!
 
What do you mean with 1 match per set? One match against an opponent? I dont think it was like that last year, was it?

If i get it right i dont really like it, no possibilty to adapt at all to the player....
 
Hey, sry for the long silence.

As Asenka post it, the site has been update.
Again, for any questions, help or anythings, feel free to ask me.


One more thing,
I know that some national team prepared themself for WorldGameCup like Italy or Switzerland or Germany, and same goes for France.
Just like last month, Fight who should decide the final Team France will be streamed here: http://fr.justin.tv/gnouzcorp

Next battle is on sunday 31. Local time 1pm to 8pm.
Enjoy.
 
DOC, I'll see what can be done about it.

But in case of Pool of 8 players, time will be short to play all matches FT 2.

Last year was pool of 4 players. So it's ok to play FT 2.
In case of pool of 8 people, I don't know if time is enough to do it.

But we'll try to put pools of 4 people, just like last year of course.
As soon as registration will be done, we will be able to set this.
 
Hey, some French guy just told it to me right now.

RSVP'd No: 1

* Something-Unique


Why ?
You were suppose to be the US leader, no ?
What's happened ?
 
Probably because like the best Kilik in the world... The 2nd best Kilik in the world couldn't afford to fly there.
It's expensive to go from US/Singapore to France :P

(Yes I went there Omar.. BAZINGA~)

We've got Extra Huge News for this third news release!

You might have noticed we're distilling the information more slowly this year, but it's just because a little bit of anticipation builds the HYPE more effectively. We've got a lot more extra goodies hidden all around the place, but for now, here's a big 6 part announcement:


1/ The Casual Play Area will be built around 8 to 16 screens. It will be co-run by the SWGA and Games Culture Associations. There, you'll be able to play all the games in competition in the Console Tournaments & some of the games played in the Arcade Tournaments (if a XBOX 360 version exists at the time of the event, like KOF2002 UM, for instance). But you will also find a few neat surprises in the consoles hard drives like MOTW or SSF2 HD REMIX (and more...).
Casual tournaments will be organized throughout the day. These Casual (free) tournaments will spice up your days.

Please don't hesitate to come & visit the Casual Area!

Expect more details with the next website update!

We'd like to thank the SWGA and Games Culture Associations for their support on this year's edition.

2/ basgrospoing.fr, the famous fighting games news website will be our partner for the WGC2011. Thanks to them, you'll have access to a continuous flow of fresh news (results, reports, etc.).
What's more, the BGP Team will hug the mike on the stream, spilling a moist flow of fresh editorial nuggets and atmospheric comments, LIVE from the WGC grounds.
And don't forget, the Stream will run non-stop during the three days of competition thanks to the fine people of the GNOUZ CORP!

3/ Marvel vs Capcom 3 will be an official tournament game at the World Game Cup 2011*

The competition will take place on Saturday February 26. It will be a Solo tourney.

It will be the first big European tournament for the game. And as MvC3 won't have been out for long, the whole lot of you will have a chance to win it ^^.

So please don't hesitate to register: It's Marvel 3 Baby!

As expected, this will cause some minor changes to the schedule, which will be announced soon. Don't panic, it won't be that different and no tournament will be canceled.

The website will be updated within two weeks with all the details of this new tournament.


4/ The KOF XIII tournament is indeed confirmed. The cabinet will be available in the Arcade Area. It will be the version B (1.1) of the game.

Here's a quote by TKO of the Versus Dojo to build up the HYPE:

“Ladies & Gentlemen,


The VS Dojo is proud to announce it's first OCCIDENTAL Exclusivity!!!!!!
Yes, you guessed it, it's even bigger news than European bragging rights!

KOF 13 Version 1.1 is COMING

No more bugs or dirty infinites.
And what's more, I can say for certain that it will be the next KOF at the Tougeki.”

Available everyday, on an HD cabinet, at the WGC thanks to the VS Dojo!

Go for it!

5/ A huge, HUGE announcement is coming for a certain Capcom game. Stay tuned, it's for late December, and you'll appreciate it for sure! (It's our Christmas present ^^)

6/ Online registration will open in about 10 days, but Online payment won't be operational until early December. (We're gonna rush it!)
In the meantime, please visit our Website & our Facebook and Twitter pages

Here you go, updates coming soon... Stay Tuned!

After several month of active job to unbanned the starwars characters, i must admit that I failed.
This year, one more time, StarWars characters will be banned.

Most european players (from several country) asked me to banned them again.
Italy, Spain, Germany, France, Belgium, ...

Some players can accept apprentice, but not vader and yoda.
Some others can accept vader but not yoda or apprentice.
And there are lots of combination like this...

So, one more time, they'll stay banned.

Sry guy's.
 
Sorry I can't make it this year. Is anyone coming from u.s.??

I currently organize donation in France for US players.
And then see, if it's possible to help someone to go.
I would like to help you and whoaaaz to come.
