Anybody been reading about the new club system that's coming up?
http://www.piugame.com/tempst_bbs/en/board_view.php?tbname=en_notice&no=25
And for those of you too lazy to click the link:

1. Andamiro Co.âs stance on notification of WPF2007
Because only club members can participate in the national team competition from 2007, our company would like to notify the operation procedure to athletes, galleries and supporters and gather various opinions
2. Is there any possibility that a country other than Korea will hold WPF2007?
We have had discussions with multinational enterprises for successful organization of WPF2007 and sponsors want the WPF to be held a country where there are many galleries. So far, nothing has been decided and further talks will need.
3. Why sponsor companies want to hold the WPF in a country other than Korea?
Because the attraction of Korean âPump it Upâ users and galleries is lower than other countries.
4. Do you have any plan to hold WPF and other game competition at the same time?
We have had discussions with people in charge of organizing game competitions in Korea and overseas countries and if synergy effect is expected by combining other competitions, we will decide reflecting pump usersâ opinions.
5. How many U.S players for each event participate in the WPF2007?
The U.S has a team for each sector but can be more when the number of clubs or members is large.
6. Why the qualification eligible for the national team is changed to clubâs recommendation?
Selecting national team members are centered on the maniac from clubs and for general public to enjoy âPump it Upâ, the company will held small and med-sized âPump it Upâ competition with close cooperation with local clubs. So the company decided to separately hold event for public and national team selection.
7. How can clubs be certified from Andamiro Co.?
1) When a club applies for certification based on the criteria (minimum club members, activities, etc) to be announced by the company, it will give certification to a club after evaluation. (Newly established clubs can apply for certification
2) In addition, when a club submits proposal to hold local events to the companyâs marketing team, the company will fully give support for successful event to the club.
8. How will clubs run?
The company thinks that the proper club organization is based on discussions and cooperation among club members and it is certain that the âPump it Upâ will be vitalized when autonomous club organization takes roots.
Also, the company thinks that the best way to prop up club activities is to make a club with members in the same region.
9. How athletes for each club can become national team members?
The company will allocate members for national team competition based on the number of club members, events, activities in PIUGAME.COM, etc and thinks that the clubs allocate for quota have to select best athletes based on WPF evaluation standard.
10. When an athlete wins prize money, 30 percent of the money should be given to his or her club. How the money is paid and used in the club?
The company gives the money two times within a year to the clubâs banknote. The money should be used for club activities including membersâ meeting, invigorating activities, events for general public and the details should be notified to the company.
11.
What club organizers do for their clubs?
1) An organizer is the person in charge of the club and should take best efforts to invigorate club through close relationship with the company.
2) In holding events for local people, the company gives certificate recognized by the company and the organizer is appointed as head of the event.
3) An organizer should select club members who participate in WPF national team competition with fair method.
4) Excellent club organizers can be designated as jurors in competition for selecting national team members.
5) Excellent club organizers can be designated as jurors in the WPF competition. (The company pays all the expenses like the WPF athletes)
12.
When club regulations and others will be announced?
1) Before 12. 31, 2006: Notifying club
2) 1. 1, 2007 ~ 12. 31, 2007: Applying for club certification (The company issues certificate within 30 days after application)
3) Clubs which apply for certification to the company by 4. 30, 2007 can be eligible for participating in the competition for selecting national team
4) 2. 1, 2007 ~ 7. 15, 2007: The company designates excellent clubs and evaluates club activities based on clubsâ operational status.
5) 7. 31, 2007: The company notifies athletes eligible for participating in competition for national team members based on evaluations including club activities.
6) 8. 31, 2007: Selecting athletes for each event
7) Before 9. 30, 2007: Competition for national
8) 11. 30, 2007: WPF2007 (place to be announced) |
I wonder if NorCal people should gather a DDR/ITG/PIU club of some sort and register for this... would give a good chance to fight against East Coast dominance of PIU.

Gah, if I had a car and a stable job, I would do that IMMEDIATELY... unfortunately, still have to graduate college first (that = 1 year). But I think I'm going to see how many people would be required to "register" a club with AM. I mean, who WOULDN'T want a chance to compete in a world tournament for US $30,000. Not to mention, we've got a decent lineup of rhythm game players here in California, the DDR empire.
We're going to be hardpressed to defeat PIU steppers like JBoy and Jason Dread though... I don't think anyone in the state of California can beat the top guys yet.

Considering im 16, Live at least 11+ hours (Driving) from CO and I semi-suck at PIU, its a little far  . Andamiro really needs to reach out to more than just speeders and freestylers at the WPF. In thier poll on the site, I suggested that they have an easy and medium division added on the side with Speeding and freestyling being the main events. It would encourage the average player to start getting better. "Hey, I can keep practicing and go to korea and win money"

You could just become a "long-distance" member... I don't think clubs will be by geographical region, so I don't see how it'd hurt.
The one thing that makes a division such as a Normal division and Hard division difficult to implement... is how abusable it is. It's way too difficult to "fake" being a Normal mode player and Hard mode player, especially if you're a skilled enough Crazy mode player to know what to hit and what not to hit... to prevent your score from being an FPC S by 1-20 misses or something like that. I can see plenty of problems with that, which is why AM probably has been hesitant toward it.
Oh, and Miklotov, if I get any more info from piugame or PumpHaven, I'll post a heads up... this could go through, but we'd have to first try to get the DDR/ITG players who are afraid of the PIU layout to "jump into the water" so to speak. The biggest obstacle is getting the players to play the game the club will be registered for.  Ah, 4-panel stigma in Bay Area that causes neglect of the PIU Zero in Milpitas Golfland...

Tis sad, because I like the MGL machine a lot. Shouldn't be neglected. :/ It wouldn't have to necessarily be just the Bay Area. I know some Sacto folks that may be interested. But we just need to see how many people are needed for registration. That's the biggest hurdle right now.

I hear the Monterrey guys are pretty good at PIU too, and they're probably at least level 17+ players, considering the guy posts better accomplishments than mine (a lvl 15 player)  We probably wouldn't have too much trouble to register if we just get the DDR/ITG players to agree to register. Milpitas Golfland needs a better machine than that dumb DX, since that thing takes so long to boot up... sigh... maybe we could "convince" MGL to get one of those new FX cabinets with the plasma... looks absolutely gorgrous.
And Sunnyvale lost theirs during the nadir of PIU history (Premiere 3 era), so MGL and D&B are the only places to practice.
Are there any PIU machines in SF at all? I know Bruce Leroy set up his freestyle routine, and he's from the area... but I don't know whether he just made lots of trips to MGL or something?

There goes that idea . KC just isnt a very good pump area although we have a decent amount of machines.

Same region can be interpreted VERY differently... doesn't necessarily mean state, but could mean a large region including both Colorado and Kansas.
Let's see what Dec. 31 brings, since that's when all the registration begins and rules involving registration will be revealed.

Spork, how about you give that to us Bay Area people and we give you a high five in return? I think it's a fair trade, if not slightly better for you!

I realized that and I would love to join anything that came up in the midwest but me being 16 and not able to completely travel alone, it may not work for me. Damn KC and its no pump players

That'd depend on how strict the club would be about membership... you may not necessarily have to attend that much. Actually Spork or bse might know the situation better, so...

Well I think we'll wait until the new year also. Because we'll both be out of town for Xmas and all. I'll do my best to keep people posted one way or another.

Hey guys Old time PIU Fan, I managed to get dig up my copy of Prex 3 cd for PC, but unfortunately I cant, for the love of me, find the exceed patch for it (the one that adds all the oldschool songs and others of the new ones).
could anyone point me in the right direction?
also, whats the best home version (I guess non-pc since the newer PIU games are on the consoles now) to pick up? the Xbox or the PS2 version?
and finally, I need to find a place to either obtain or buy OSTs for PIUs I love the music.
Thanx for your help in advance guys :-D
