Idea: International Video Gaming Competition?

What nations would be interested in having a role-played International Video Gaming competition? Send some of your finest gamers over to a host, and let them battle it out in games.

There would be multiple game categories: FPS, racing, fighters, etc.
It could be scored with Leagion, but some games (racing games in particular) aren't just 1 versus 1 gameplay.

I'm sure that someone who's smart with Excel could come up with a scorinator that would work for, say, 8 different players in Gran Turismo 4, each originating from a different country.

My proposal also says that it should NOT be played by infrastructure (eg online), as that would seriously affect results, due to ping times, and different infrastructure.

So, you interested?

I hosted a huge multinational geek convention back at the time, thought it had no sports RPing-type scorinators. But I can still help?

Thing is, that Leagion might not do that well, maybe you could make your own scorination thing.

To above post:

If someone gave me a bit of guidance on how to use Excel formulae, I'd be happy to make a scorinator.

Great idea. Ask the World Cup organisers what they use, but it's Excel.

They dont use spreadsheets for scorination anymore.

Well, if they don't use spreadsheets, they'd have to be using programs. Like Leagion or NSFootySim.

What's the username/s of the WC organizers? I'll get on to them about it

Ask Bedistan. He is the one who programmed NSfootySim. Or Rejistania, as he programmed Leagion
