World Cup Reject (Battle) Cup

This is an idea I had a while back - have some sort of battle cup for several of the World Cup 6 rejects. Alternatively, a level pack on kopasite. The idea is that these levels have been worked hard on by the designers, and deserve more attention than some random battle would give them. Also, Ramone...

Re: World Cup 6 questionnaire / discussion

I'm not sure giving points to more players is actually a good incentive for "nabs" to play harder and be motivated - for me, it was particularly the struggle of "getting into the points" which was motivating (and before that, even just beating the base time).

Re: You are now aware we haven't had a World Cup in 8 years

Unless someone makes a serious case for another way to go we are gonna go simple - no skips. Well, from the poll 50% want either 1 or 2 worst results discarded, as opposed to 33% who want no skips. I too would kinda prefer no skips, but discarding the 15th worst result could be good for those that ...

I might prefer no skips, since with discard worst it's also an advantage to play all, so question is wether it will really make a difference for anyone.

Re: World Cup 6 skips

I prefer 2 worst records discarded. But you can do it in two ways. If someone is discarded from 10th place, you may or may not raise the classification of people from 11th onwards. I think you should rise them, like was done in MiE Pipe Cup. It shouldn't rise anything. Just 13 (or any other number)...
