surprisingly....i don't like the idea =).

hmm. kd said that whole nations should play and not teams of 4-6 players.. if whole nation plays then the motivation for individual player to höyl hard would drop...cos they might think that 'oh well somebody will play it anyway'...and secondly the 'not-so-good' players would be totally useless to the teams and it would be quite boring for them...and if every dood from the same nation gets the recs there would be some 'bad apples' who would for some reason spread recs...

some countries who have like 5-10 players might find motivation to play as 'whole nation'...but for example in finland that idea just wouldn't work...i think...

and i think it would be more intresting to play one on one matches....at least there has to be some kinda final rounds played one on one imo..

the best idea seems to be kd's one, but now i think the bigger elma countries would dominate. but this idea still seems the best, there are going to be problems with any suggestion

there should be no problem getting 50 levels. any kuski would love to have one of their levels played by hundreds. i would :mrhat:

kuiva: ye i know about these problems. I was thinking about Hungary, and here we are 20-30 active players at least, and i know we all would work as a big team. Finland is quite different i think, maybe it's because the teams with members from different countries :(
And i just said that national teams has no sense, because everybody can send their own recs to them. About motivation: There could be small contest-in-cup thingz like 'the best kuski of nation' or something else.
Here in Hungary there wouldn't be 'bad apples' i think, and if there was, somehow we could ignore them from recs.
Maybe this cup idea is generally bad, because of the many uncontrollable thingz. That's it. But i think it worth a try.
The final round idea would be good btw.

Hows about, 5 levels, 5 kuskis in a team. they all play all the levels, and 1 kuski sends in his/her time for each level, and it has to be a different kuski for each level...?

I like Chuckles' idea, that would be nice. I'm sure somebody will mention about the cheating thing again...it's easy but what can you do, fun is more important

Yeah, ChuckleS idea can be good.. but then again the teams will divide the 5 levels by saying you will get level 1 etc.. that means that the 5 level-thing will feel like it's only one level... Maybe I'm wrong, it can be great to see what kuski is good at that level and stuff, and so the dividing process ca be exciting.. Don't know, just some thoughts..

There are many other kuskis in a country, who won't be in those 5 member teams, but run better times than they do. It can happen, and then they can only do that sending their recs to the team members, and if the team is so cheat0r, they will send the rec in, just as if it was their own, and they become famous. Ok, i accept that most of the teams would play fair, and not use other ppl's recs... I don't know. Anyway if teams are the nations, then most kuskis of the nation is out from this cup, and then i think it would cause lack of interest.

But we cant have any more than 1 team per country...Unless we have divisions too

Division 1:
All 'A' teams

Div. 2:
All 'B' teams

Etc

It doesnt have to be complicated if you use it in a kinda good way.
See here:

It doesnt matter how many teams it is...
The team have to choose which player should play which level... Then the levels get sent out to the players which should play them...

And if you make lets see 3 packs of levels... so it is like 3 rounds...

It might be interesting...

And have the best finnish players in one team etc. isnt funny.. lets try to make it a little bit more interesting by randomly pick teams inside each country which have said they will compete.. That way we might get some really kewl results!

randomly picked teams would be good but you couldn't have that many teams. if say, finland, had 14 teams of 5 and Aust. had 1 team of 5 would finland get points for each team? or would the time for each player for the level in one country be averaged?

whatever. i still think kd's idea is best. chuckles' is also good but there are too many problems with it

So your brother will be instead of you Roni...

We'll maybe do a little contests and the players with the best times will qualify to that Israeli team.

I really like the ideea of this cup. I really want to participate. But I think that I'm the only one in Romania who plays this (very cool) game. Noone knows about it here, what do u want ardvetise? LOL. Oh, some of my friend play... they really really really really really suck. They... what do u say, oh yes, they "Drive Farsund!" if U know what I mean. And I suck either. But I'm the best here 8) . But I relly like the ideea, but Romania has no team :cry: :cry: :cry:

As some people adviced before, each nation will have a team of 5 or something... that's the limit...
if it will be like that, there will probably be a qualification for each country because the tt doesn't mean anything...

anyway, my advice is that these qualifications will be made officialy by the one who makes this cup, just before the cup itself begins...

I definitely would want a nations cup if someone arranged it..But it would need to attract much attention to itself so that many would join, just 15 kuskis wouldn't quite do it.

The Nations Cup is a great idea! Why did we forget about it?
It has to be done and hopefully soon
