Concept



More than any other event, The Soulcalibur IV World Team Cup is the must watch show of the World Game Cup.

It is not about money there, just honor, to get the title of "World's Best Nation" at this game.

Unlike Friday's 5vs5 Team Tournament, which is opened to any team, the World Team Cup is only for the national teams.

Each country must choose is own roster of 8 players (see the rules below). The mode of selection is free for each country, but there can only be one team per country.

Special rules of team tournament:

- Only national selections can attend. One team by country registered.
- 5 players minimum per team, 8 players maximum. Only 5 players take part to a leg
- Before each leg, the team coach has to tell to the referee the playing order of its team members and the 5 members of his team for the leg. (3 players of the 8 total won't play). The order and the selection of the 5 players can change before each leg but not during the leg.
- Only the referee knows the playing order and the 5 members of each team before the leg. Those elements will remain hidden from the opposing team; they will discover them during the encounter.
- The matches will be played in a bout/survival manner: the 1st player of team A faces the 1st player of team B in one single match (1st to 3 winning rounds). If he wins, he’ll face the second player of the opponent team, and keep playing until he loses. If he loses, then the second player of his team takes his place. The 1st team which eliminates the 5 players of the opposing team wins the match-up.
- 2 identical characters are not allowed in a team. The characters are chosen before the beginning of the tournament and can’t be changed during its course.
- During a leg, the team coach can use a joker (only once). He can chose to replace an player by one of the 3 other players that don't play the leg. One can use this joker before the match, or before or after the announcement of the opposing team's composition. The opposing team can do the same if the match hasn't begun and if they still have their joker.r
