Apologies for the delay folks, been quite busy today. Group Stage Overview Not going to do a full run-through, as you can refer to the final...
Wild that we went into TSW5 with zero of the routes in that WCML map (apart from SOS, Blackpool and Cross-City, which aren't 'WCML', really) and...
Knockout Phase Draw The UK and NA votes are still going but it's time for the draw. Perhaps, this will make the format a bit clearer. UK 1. B1 vs...
Round 2 / Playoff Confirmation The format has been confirmed by TSWWC HQ (my brain) for Round 2 and the Playoffs. The regions are still split at...
It's all over for EUROPE! The first of the three regions is done, as Europe's vote closes. North Group A Dresden - Leipzig: 38 Köln - Aachen: 24...
Using Blackpool as a reference because it was the highest both times (and the UK seems most popular anyway), 2023: 111 votes was 70.7%, so around...
Halfway for the EU/US votes, 3/4 of the way for the UK! Both of the previous EU ties are currently broken; Bremen - Oldenburg edges ahead of...
DCZ performed quite well in the first edition of this competition, winning with 54 votes in a fairly similar group with Main Spessart Bahn,...
This is the combined table which, due to this year's format, doesn't really mean anything. But, it's quite interesting to see the threshold for...
As things stand, about halfway through the group stage... [ATTACH] [ATTACH] Bremen-Oldenburg isn't a skyhook route, don't worry i've seen it....
If we're talking flags, "Great British Railways" should really be using this bad boy, given it has no relevance to Northern Ireland. [ATTACH] Of...
And North America / United States is LIVE! Vote Here: https://forums.dovetailgames.com/threads/tsw-world-cup-2026-united-states-group-stage.95728/
Finally, it's America! The group for America is just a straight split between Freight and Passenger. You'll get two votes per group for a total...
For anyone navigating the tournament via this thread, please ensure you read the red text in UK Section 2. I've made an error with the poll but...
I'm having a nightmare here... The second one should be WSR.

The power of a remaster btw [ATTACH]
Keep track of results and future rounds in the TSWWC Master Thread:...
The UK is Live! Voting is live, open for 48 hours once again: SECTION 1 -:...
NOTE: THE SECOND ENTRY (D3) OF "PEAK FOREST RAILWAY" SHOULD READ "WEST SOMERSET RAILWAY". IF YOU INTEND TO VOTE FOR WEST SOMERSET RAILWAY, SELECT...
Hello and welcome back to another edition of the TSW World Cup, everyone's favourite (maybe) festive forum game! As the number of routes in TSW...
EUROPE IS LIVE! The first of the three sections is up and running! Europe's Northern and Southern conferences are both up and running for the...
Not a bad route but I don't see any chance of a 50+ station route tbh. Wouldn't mind it being cut as the TSC version was if that was what's needed...
Oh Canada The third and final draw is upon us, and we come to the Canada (with some US) section, otherwise known as the North American Section!...
Yes.
Anyways, how long until we get our first GBR route then?
"A railway owned by you" is particularly egregious given that GBR is the product of two of the most unpopular governments in modern British history...
That is an absolutely rancid livery. (Thank god ScotRail are staying separate) Intercity Swallow was right there.
Voting will probably be open in a week or two. The Season of Reveals means the forum will be a bit busier so I'll try and keep this to a minimum...
Right, time to cross the channel because it's fine for the British draw! No pre-determined split like EU, we'll just go groups A-C in one thread...
Where do Micro transactions come into TSW? Are we looking at a TS Marketplace type of thing? Stand-alone livery packs? Decals for LD? Or just a...
Definitely not but video games are open to younger and younger audiences these days so I don't think Dovetail should rule it out.
It does feel like a long overdue continuation of what HRR brought to the table at least. It would nice if we finally got an HRR timetable with the...
I think a Sodor game, without worrying about simulation but giving Dovetail a chance to experiment with more environmental scenery than what Metro...
Ladies and Gentlemen, I present to you the European Group Stage Draw, Sponsored by ALDI! I wish I was sponsored for this but I'm afraid that'll...
I don't like trains so to speak, I'm more into the infrastructure (the engineering marvel that is a railway). I grew up going absolutely...
I think the rise of third parties (which can be traced in some cases to the editor being released) and community projects have, ironically, been...
I'll be splitting the votes as in the previous comps, it's just a question of the thread. (2023's 'Mixed' Group ended up more about Passenger v...
I think for Europe I may split it along the best division of Europe possible; Aldi Süd vs Aldi Nord... France, Northern Germany, Netherlands in...
Well, like/helpful poll for the format then: Like this post if you'd prefer to see the old format (albeit with 5/6 Group Stage threads) OR...
IIRC from when the forum had multiple polls they'd all sit at the top. Or, if it wasn't this forum and i'm mistaken, that's how most forums are...
A question as I begin to prepare the competition: Would the typical set-up (endless forum threads with a poll each, because we still aren't...
Brrr. It's getting cold out there. It's almost like the annual TSW World Cup is just around the corner... ;)
Exactly. SOS and PFR didn't sell well because they aren't of high enough quality, esp. as compared the modern routes which released around the...
You can also do both and one suggests that a sizeable number of those who adore Steam Engines will quite fancy taking one for a spin.
Separate names with a comma.
