World Cup 5 events - 15 or 20?

Post by px » 4 Mar 2005, 21:24

The amount of events in the upcoming cup is yet undecided, please tell me your opinion. There will be either 15 or 20 events, maximum length will probably be two weeks, most ones averaging to one week though. Yet there will be shorter than one-week events too.

Last time I played all the events so I have better opinion than most of you ;P.

15.

15, i guess levels would be better quality this way

This may sound shelfish... but I'm voting for 20 because that means I'm able to enjoy more fantastic world cup replays. If I were going to take part seriously, I would go for 15 because I think it's better for serious playing... I mean, 20 events takes many months.

I would love to hear comments by the ones who will take part seriously, does many want 20 and are eager to take part to them all fully concentrated?

Something just tell me itz 15!

Juski · Post by **Juski** » 4 Mar 2005, 21:39

I just want it to be 20 cause i want a really long battle, maybe the last events won't be so popular but i hope they will.

milagros · Post by **milagros** » 4 Mar 2005, 21:47

15 is enough

Boomer · Post by **Boomer** » 4 Mar 2005, 21:49

Yeah, 15 will do.

Maala · Post by **Maala** » 4 Mar 2005, 22:14

15 too

Ky.Jelly · Post by **Ky.Jelly** » 4 Mar 2005, 22:23

easy need 30+ events, ill vote for that later

The_BoneLESS · Post by **The_BoneLESS** » 4 Mar 2005, 22:43

Going for 20, the real players will play every events so, extremely good externalists like MP, TorInge, Markku won't win because they won 10 events, and skipped 5...

And i want a long competition !

Yeah, World Cup 5 will happen

Post by **SveinR** » 4 Mar 2005, 22:43

Hmm, I don't know... there were 20 events in both wcup3 and wcup4, so that's kinda part of wcup to me.. 15 would seem like cutting it short

I haven't decided.

I know, that's why I didn't mention them

MP · Post by MP » 4 Mar 2005, 23:06

To all the new guys who think the more the better, THINK AGAIN. 15 is absolutely max and everybody who have played 20 event marathon knows that. If you wanna see lots of top players quit fine, vote it, but in the end I think it's not good for the whole cup that the competitive level will drop tremendously in the end. It's not good for the whole cup ok

Post by px » 4 Mar 2005, 23:21

Yet I'd like to point out, that I've planned to include shorter events, for example 24h or 48h ones to the cup. If there will be much of those, the cup might be over quite soon. Voting for 20 myself.

The_BoneLESS · Post by **The_BoneLESS** » 4 Mar 2005, 23:22

Ok, i think MP is right ( as usual )...

True that 20 levels ( 1 level ~ 1 week ) will last like 20 weeks... which is something like 5 months.

That's kinda long. Almost half a year. Yeah, i guess 15 is better

Xhomaz · Post by **Xhomaz** » 4 Mar 2005, 23:36

15, so I won't get bored when the ending is near. Also, some better levels than in the previous wcups would do. And a pipe event.

Post by **Abula** » 4 Mar 2005, 23:37

MP: actually it's not the last levels that won't be hoyled so much but the levels between 10 and 17 or something. In the end people will realize "if I get 100 points in the last 3 events I will become top10!" and play more.

CaeZar · Post by **CaeZar** » 4 Mar 2005, 23:51

I voted 15!

Maybe ppl dont wanna play for a so long time, and more will play if it is 15...
20 is to much.!

J-sim · Post by **J-sim** » 5 Mar 2005, 00:27

I played all events last time (one or two I didn't send in for) and I didn't get tired of it. But I think that was because I had just started playing serious elma at the beginning of wcup and everything was just so extremely exciting. At the last couple events where I really hoyled hard in some of them I can easily see how it must've been to do that for all 20 events!! So I guess I'm voting 15, though the addition of those shorter events might make 20 work. Also if the cup is starting before summer and running over summer then a break for a couple of weeks maybe 3 or 4(!) might be a nice idea with both the 15 and 20 events constellation.

teajay · Post by **teajay** » 5 Mar 2005, 10:19

I vote 20. Just consider px's argument.

Sparrow · Post by **Sparrow** » 5 Mar 2005, 10:56

teh more = teh better

8-ball · Post by **8-ball** » 5 Mar 2005, 12:01

15 - I don't want to waste half a year of my life and don't get bored so soon.

Juski · Post by **Juski** » 5 Mar 2005, 13:24

six months with 20 events is maybe too long, but i rather have 20 events over 4 months then 15 evenst over 4 months. More and shorter events!

culinko · Post by **culinko** » 5 Mar 2005, 13:55

15 is just right

anpdad · Post by **anpdad** » 5 Mar 2005, 16:42

Like dz said - 20 is for recwatching, not for participating.
I hope i would be able to participate, so ez 15.

mr · Post by mr » 5 Mar 2005, 17:49

15 is OK amount of events.
My suggestion is that there's only one week events and at least a one week break during Cup.

There will be a break, at least during FEM05.

And when would that be, prey? 20 events would only take about a month longer, and anyway I'm guessing the cup won't start at least until around the beginning of May, so the summer won't be wcup free in any case.

15! maybe 10 i enuf

Juzam · Post by **Juzam** » 6 Mar 2005, 15:17

Voted 20 but gave it another thought and i think 15 is enough

Jalli · Post by **Jalli** » 6 Mar 2005, 17:14

Endurance to last 20 events is something a decent world champion should have imho

Post by **SveinR** » 6 Mar 2005, 18:06

Btw px, how much will you take into consideration the result from this poll?

Ramone · Post by **Ramone** » 6 Mar 2005, 18:29

Jalli, you might play the most hours during a cup... and still you want 20 events! Explain more, please.
Of course I voted 15... for above said reasons

Jalli · Post by **Jalli** » 6 Mar 2005, 19:01

I just find 15 to be too short. Pure and simple

dunedan · Post by **dunedan** » 6 Mar 2005, 21:27

Yea, let it be 15 really nice quality recs. I think more gives 100% if there're fewer levels.

dz · Post by dz » 10 Mar 2005, 21:29

Actually come think of it, 10 events would be the best - imo.
But that's just me.

Dahle · Post by **Dahle** » 11 Mar 2005, 00:07

15!

Hard to hÃ¶yl over a long time, especeially during the summer... Actually it sucks that wc starts in May, and not September (for example)

onlainari · Post by **onlainari** » 12 Mar 2005, 12:20

I chose 15. Nothing wrong with 20 for me though, but 15 would be better competition.

Suggestion for a wcup5 or wcup6 or additional competition:

F1 circuit type of competition. One week event , one/two week pause, and then a new event. 15 events would last 30 to 45 weeks making it more like a Season like in F1 or such.

dudek · Post by **dudek** » 12 Mar 2005, 14:58

lol, but 20 events would last about teh whole year then.

And what more, there wouldn't be any break between teh WCs, you know, like World Cup all teh time ...

WCs are every other year.....

back to the topic, I prefer 15 events and wouldl be nice if there were 5 or so 3-4days events. And no pauses needed.

World Cup 5 events - 15 or 20?

How many events should World Cup 5 have?
