Well, what d'you know? The Taiwan Tournament IS going to be called Donder! Taiwan-ichi Ketteisen 2014. Earlier Sume released a series of presentation slides to explain the rules and proceedings of the tournament, so let's take a look!

See the slides as complete Facebook album
Sume Official Facebook Page

Due to not being as big as Japan, the tournament is to be divided into only two stages - the five Area Preliminaries (across July 12~27) and the National Finals (August 30).

The basic rules of this tournament is similar to the past ones in Japan: You must have your own Banapassport, and have to sustain your own travelling fees. Also you can play in as many preliminaries until you obtain a place in the finals. Minors, remember to obtain parental consent and watch out for safety!

These are the five areas and their preliminary times and locations. A total of 16 finalists will be selected.

And the finals will be held in the HYPER GAMER arcade center in Taipei on August 30. Wonder if there will be livestreaming too?

Gameplay rules of the preliminaries are also very similar: Shin-uchi and Shin-uchi only can be used (automatic zero if you forgot to set!). No external cloth or whatever is allowed on the cabinets. Different from the Japan events, you can bring and use your own sticks.

And the songs to be played will structure like this. One will be randomly chosen from three as voted by players (more later), and the other is randomly chosen from two songs designated by Namco (to be announced July 1).

Now the souvenirs: the participatory prize is this exclusive, cute Taiko no Tatsujin ruler!

As previously noted, the exclusive Momoiro-themed Banapassport will be given out, and in many ways!

Finalist Prize: all finalists get one
Ranking Prize: two more participants will get one if they land at the predetermined ranks at the preliminary
Raffle Prize: and the rest will be raffled off to other participants at the end of each preliminary. Make sure you stay til the end!

And from June 17~24, the Sume Official Facebook Page will hold a poll to determine the three voted songs to be used in the preliminaries. Each Facebook account can vote once for three songs, and the three most popular songs wins out! Five lucky voters will get the Momoiro-themed Banapassport as a participation prize.
