'Gilae altenany*!' was the only comment, the rejistanian coach gave the reportes about the group G. But no further explanation was neccesary, because it is obvious, that in this world cup, the Orange-Blues are minnows. Being ranked 24th, they are the lowest-ranked team in a group, inclunding the 6th and the 12 of the world. Former coach On showed a bit optimism: "There is till now a kind of series: we win the third game and only the third. Perhaps, this will change now!"

*meaning something like biggest shit you can imagine (since english has no second superlativ, it is not that easy to translate).

just 3 of the few teams you missed
Belmorian Scandinavia
Clearwater
El Dorrado

Uh yeah... I can't really find Kingsford on that list.. so... uh... yeah.

Alright.. I fixed that. Any other problems I guess will have to be sorted out afterwards, Im going to start Round 1 tonight.

Um... how come Polkaton isn't on the list?

Due to personal problems, I cannot continue hosting the FHWC4. I will hand over the stats and things to whoever wants to host it with TBF's permission. PLEASE DISREGARD ALL TELEGRAMS OF ROUND ONE. THEY DO NOT COUNT TOWARS THE TOURNY.

Agnosticium, God Squad, Ravenspire and Ur6 Most Difficult Bracket?

Tyrael, Agnosticium (AP) - Groupings from the Field Hockey World Cup Commission were relased today and it seems that Group E will be the most challenging overall. With two top-10 teams and the 15th ranked team from Agnosticium, it looks to be the most competitive of the brackets.

Group C follows with the 3rd, 8th, 16th and 26th teams while Group A rounds out the top three most competitive brackets with the 1st, 10th, 18th and 28th ranked teams.

Group play has not yet begun although several practice matches have been played in a warm-up for the true event. Agnosticium faced down Ravenspire and lost 2-1 in their scrimmage, Anessa Burbank accounting for the lone Agnos score. Back-up goalie, Rebecca Cece, was given the start to rest the starter and give her international playing time. Vanessa Baker was back after shattering her leg in the last tournament and appeared to be at half-speed although her passing and defensing were spot-on. She claims she'll be 100 percent when the actual tourney begins.

Since we now have no host, this is a call for someone willing to host FHWC4. Please say if you're interesting in running the event, and hopefully there will be a few candidates to choose from when TBF gets back.

If you don't mind playing in a country, where hedgehogs are a delicacy (OOC: and someone could send me the spreadsheet), Rejistania would like to sign up as host.

OOC: Spaulmerica can not host, so we needed a quick replacement. OK, the task is up to me. I used TBF's list to re-do the grouping.

PS: I guess, my writing and my grammar is not the best. as long as it is still understandable, pls don't mind it. TIA!

IC: Because of internal problems in the state of Spauldmerica, the FHWC-comitee has decided to change the host. The FHWC will now be hosted in the Free Land of Rejistania. Since internal problems in Spauldmerica also led to an incorrect grouping, it was re-done.

Group A:
Timway (4)
Belmore Family (12)
Clearwater (unranked)
Halfassedstates (26)

Group B:
Agnosticium (15)
Ravenspire (7)
El Dorrado (unranked)
The San Juan Mountains (unranked)

Group C:
Tanah Burung (13)
The Weegies (11)
Marno (32)
Polkaton (unranked)

Group D:

Kaze Progressa (27)

Group F:
Voyger (2)
Akbarland (20)
Belmorian Scandinavia (unranked)
Kingsford (unranked)

The 2 most difficut brackets are G-A and G-C

They can be done with a simple calculator and three open browser windows. Or is there some other problem?

Do you want to start a new thread so this is easier to track?

Yep, I planned to do it last night, but then I got kinda 'internal problems'.

But now the World Cup thread (http://www.nationstates.net/forum/viewtopic.php?t=88372) is ready.
