The Gulf States will be hosting the next season of NS Hockey's world championships, the Cherry Cup.

North/West Hemispheres
North/East Hemispheres
South/West Hemispheres
South/East Hemispheres
Outer Space
Other (explain)

Any questions, I'll be willing to answer.

Last I checked this should be CC5 signups :S?

Give me SouthEast.

Yeah, I think you're right.

I edited that now. Anyone else want to join?

I thought we already had a CC5 signup? :?

Either way, pencil me in for Northwest

Is this for the next Cherry Cup, after the one we've not had yet? I'm afraid I'm a little confused!

Oh well - either way, the Gulls don't want to be left out! I'll sign up left, right, and center!

And I suppose Iansisle'd be in the north-west hemisphere, but we kind of straddle the line between east and west.

Yeah, come into the NW league.. don't be afraid that we'll slap you around like Todd Bertuzzi and a poor baby seal :P

sign the 'slaves up for North West, 'cos A: because thats where i always RP Audioslavia, and B: i've got a wee jinx on Iansisle i can put to good use ;)

this is proper hockey isnt it? (as in the one with the scandinavians in padding on ice, not the one with the lasses in skirts on a field)

Alright, this is 5. The one we have not had yet.

For that old registration list, I just got word I can host the next Cup. That and I forgot about the old list, partly because the last country that regged into it was about two weeks ago.

In other words, restart.

Hrmm hockey, hrmm. Be interesting. I guess I will sign up as other since I am of a middle-earth realm. (Take it easy on me, Its my first ns sports rp.)

Tanah Burung is in the South East hemisphere, although quite close to both the equator and the international date line.

I take it this is ice hockey rather than grass hockey.... :)

Yeah, ice hockey.

The Starblaydi National Ice Hockey team: "The Rayzors" would like to compete. Starblydia should be placed in the North-West region..

OOC: They will have to learn to ice-skate, then how to hit the little black thing first :D

Greenland's red & white Iceberg will try, again, to win this thing. the team has been given an A for persistence and a C for performance.

Greenland is located in the rock em, sock em and increasingly overpopulated North West.

whoa! We're in for the South/East Hemispheres cos that's were TB are, and they're rock hard.

Confirm for the Abysmals from Abysmalistan. Abysmalistan is located in the North/East, think of Siberia.

Copied over from the last time we signed up...

We are in the offices of the Druid Government, and we walk past the office of the Minister for Sport, Leisure, Arts and Dossing About, Trevor Brookley. There are two voices coming from inside, Brookley and his good friend the Minister for Lost Things. The door is slightly ajar, and we look inside. They are talking about a copy of The Daily Belmorian that the Minister for Lost Things is reading.

MfLT: "...anyway, the point was, he wasn't that Alan Belmore at all, it was a completely different one!!!"

TB: "Minister, you really know how to tell 'em! Heh... er, well, can we look at the sports bit now. It is my job, after all."

MfLT: "OK"

He passes the paper to Brookley, who opens it up.

TB: "Minister"

MfLT: "A-ha?"

TB: "I think I've found the solution to one of your problems."

MfLT: "Oh yes?"

TB: "Well, you know that field hockey team of ours that keeps losing? And they got you to look into why it was? Well look at this..."

The Minister for Lost Things walks over.

MfLT: "What are they wearing on their feet? And why is their ball flat?"

TB: "Don't you see, Minister? That's where we've been going wrong all this time. We've been thinking that hockey is for playing on grass, and that's why we lose. you see? It's supposed to be done on ice! And instead of using a ball, you use a..." (he looks at the report) "...a puck. There's a whole international tournament at it called the..." (he looks again) "...Cherry Cup."

MfLT: "And..."

TB: "Well... can't you see? We're bound to do quite well if we enter, because it's the opposite to what we're bad at. It's like our football team is bad, yet our handball team are pretty good."

MfLT: "So you think we'd be good?"

TB: "Of course we will! And it'll be a bit less work for yourself to worry about if we are, too. So, I'll get our entry in straight away."

Brookley sets off towards the door to get the Druid entry in, so we will leave them, just so we don't look too suspicious.

The Druids are still in, and would like to be in the North East group.

We're smack on the equator, so we'll play in either the Northeast or Southeast Conference, which ever one needs a team the most.

I wanted to sign the Abysmals up, but since NS was pretty downish, I didn't select that puppet of mine to post.

Abysmal confirmation of the puppet. (it's not really a puppet since I don't sign up my main nation...)

We will be there. Put us down in other. (Mainly because I have no idea of how you can envision the NS universe the way you have written it :?: )

I really have no idea how you mean to fit NS into this geographic scheme... Can you elaborate, please. (I haven*t seen anyone try to fit NS to a RL geographic set up before, so I really am perplexed! :( )

Eh up, what's going on here? I think WoS wants to sign up for this..again? Erm.. WoS is situated in the North Atlantic, for whatever that's worth..

Here's how it sort of goes...

Northwest = North America, North Pacific, North Atlantic, Caribbean
Southwest = South Atlantic (I colonized 80% of the S. Amer. continent)
Northeast = Europe, Asia, N. Africa, Middle East
Southeast = Australia, Oceania, Indonesia, So. Africa, Indian & S. Pacific Oceans

I want to see if my nation can do better on a hockey rink than a soccer field. Put me in the North-West.

Please forgive my silly double post. :oops:

List updated to this point. People are still free to register. I don't know how long this will go till.

And I will maybe create forums for the Cherry Cup.

The problem I find is that most nations in NS (like myself) don*t confirm to the RL globe.

(BTW, I don*t mean to be negative. Just confused as how you plan to fit everyone in. I am fairly surprised by how many people fit themselves into your scheme. Obviously it works far better than I would have thought! :))

I probably will just bunch the others, like your nation, in conferences that have the least amount of people.

It's looking like an Eastern vs. Western Conference, maybe two division per. If I get a few more teams.

And here I was thinking I*d be in the others with a new entrant I could beat up on and finally get a winning record. :D (sorry ESF. :))

Sign us up for either North West or North East.

Sportonia comes onto the world stage in the Cherry Cup. South East Section prefrably(sp.)

I looked it to it. This board was previously used for a secret alliance in another game, and it had it set so only I could admit new members.

I'm trying to fix it. In the meanwhile, everyone that has applied so far has been accepted into the boards.

There is one board you can not create topics in, the News and Scores area. However, you can reply to any posts I make there.

Thanks. I was getting it on all three, but am posting now. :)

The Regular Season of the 5th Cherry Cup is on. So far, we're two game days into the regular season.

Now done at the forums...

-Schedule for Session 1 (Days 1-12)
-Complete 18 Team League w/ Division Breakdowns
-Scores of Days 1 and 2
-Standings after Day 2
