Hey, It seems there are not enough spots for the final. There are 6 spectators max in a match. For the moment, Javito and NormalPRO have asked me to save them a spot. There are also Ashmallum, Nithril and Nyctalope who would be willing to see it (especially Nyctalope I think), but there won't be enough spots for them, as I'm sure that some will want to watch this, like Bytor, MrTPenguin and Crespo. Probably Konrad too. And Jigsaw probably wants some of his friends to watch. Of course, I'm sure that when we choose a date for the final with Jigsaw, some of the wormers wanting to watch the final may not be able to watch because of real life stuff. So, how do we choose the spectators?

if w:a update was released for wwp we could see the recorded game.
maybe, one of the spectators could record the game in an avi file.
i will do some test in order to verify the reliability

I already tried to make an avi file for just one minute of worms, and since it cannot compress very well while the game is on, it took about 40 MB!
Is there someone who has lots of space left? Like more than 5 GB... HyperCAM could then be used.

To my conviction, as the number of people who can watch the final is limited there should be some rules if a person wants to watch the final. Here is my proposals: First: Jigsaw and Fury can choose one person they like as a supporter. For example Fury can reserve a spot for one French (only from CWT or CWT qualifiers). Second: Crespo is the priority person in the final, irrespective of everything (He is the HOST) Third: Other wormers who would like to watch should be choosen on basis of their CWT performance this year. To name an example, let's assume Bytor and Penguin want to watch the final, but one spot is only remained free. In this case (as Penguin went futher in the tournament compared to Bytor) should take this free spot. I beleive this regulations is fair enough. What do you all think? P.S. Bytor please do not get offended ;D (it was only an example), I hope you want miss it

I think we should also take into account if the wormer would DIE to see this match. Some people would like to watch it but wouldn't feel bad if they didn't.
As we know, Bytor loves to spectate, I'm sure he doesn't want to miss the final (cf. Man of the Tournament from last year). Besides he's the first cwter I met and the one who told me about the tournament! I'd like him to watch.

It's likely that some people who want to watch can't or won't turn up at the time of the match, so we shouldn't make a final list. Much as I'd like to see it, I saw it last year, so it wouldn't be too harsh on me to miss it. Voodoo presumably won't want anyone to watch our third-place playoff, so there's no consolation ticket either

I'm experiencing some serious pc+net difficulties during last two days, my comp is just a pile of junk and I hope it won't die before the final :/ As for the spectating issue, anyone has a TV Card? Only way for eveyrone interested to watch the final is to record the game... or we can play it on w:a, you guys will just have to get w:a (which is very cheap even here) in order to watch it . Otherwise picking spectators is up to me and Fury as its our good will that we allow others to watch, so it would be like, Fury picks two, I pick two and Crespo takes fifth spot (if he wants) as we owe him that.

Hmmm very hard choice... Anyway, tell me Jigsaw when you have your computer fixed. It can wait a week since anyway I'm at work this week but next week I'm completely free! W:A could be a good idea. Plus there are lots of fixed bugs in this (like the bad parachute opening). The only things I don't like are : 1) cluster abuse = 90pts 2) seems there are too much crates that have very big weapons in WA.

lot's of thanks Jiggy I will try to see it. If I'm home good, otherwise if I will be at coimbra I will try to see it a friend's house. Keep me posted about the date because it is also quite possible I won't be able to make it because at Coimbra I can't on certain times of the day...

If Crespo's not here, it's not fun... Please tell us at which hours you can't join a game, Crespo. Thanks. Jigsaw, who are the 2 spectators you choose? So that we don't choose the same twice. But anyway if it's in W:A then spectating is not a very big issue. Oh and btw, just read some posts of the Team17 forums. It seems they are updating W:A until patch 4.0 is final. Then, they will apply all the fixes and enhancements to WWP. Great! ;D

How about this:
if the 3rd place game is played until saturday then how about sunday EARLY afternoon (15:00 PL & FR time) for the big game?

I am so sorry Crespo but I MUST go back to my parents' home this week end in order to get ultra needed stuff to get my work permit at Paris afterwards.
If you really can't wait, I'll try to play before the week end. But I would prefer just after the week end, like monday or tuesday. There wouldn't be any problem, I promise, Jigsaw and I both feel like playing very soon.
